VEGAPULS 62

Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGAPULS 62 is a radar sensor designed for continuous level measurement of liquids. It is versatile and suitable for use in storage containers, reactors, and process vessels, even under challenging conditions. The sensor's design accommodates a wide range of temperatures and pressures, simplifying project planning.

Benefits
  • Maintenance-free due to non-contact measurement.
  • High plant availability with wear and maintenance-free operation.
  • Accurate measurements unaffected by pressure, temperature, gas, or steam.

Functionality
The sensor emits short microwave pulses that reflect off the liquid surface and return to the antenna system. The time taken for the signal to return is proportional to the liquid level, allowing precise measurement.

Technical Specifications
  • Measuring range: up to 35 m (114.8 ft).
  • Deviation: ±2 mm.
  • Process pressure: -1 to +160 bar (-14.5 to +2320 psig).
  • Process temperature: -196 to +450 °C (-321 to +842 °F).
  • Operating voltage: 9.6 to 36 V DC.
  • SIL qualification: Up to SIL2 optionally.

Materials and Construction
The wetted parts are made from materials such as 316L, Alloy C22, Alloy 400, stainless steel, PTFE, PP, and PEEK. Housing options include plastic, stainless steel, or aluminum, with protection ratings up to IP 68.

Electronics and Connectivity
Available in various electronic versions, including 4-20 mA/HART, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus, and Modbus protocols. Supplementary electronics like radio modules or power packs are available for double chamber housings.

Approvals and Certifications
The VEGAPULS 62 is approved for use in hazardous areas, compliant with standards such as ATEX and IEC, and holds various ship approvals.

Operation and Adjustment
Adjustments can be made via the PLICSCOM module, PC software PACTware, or HART Communicator. Manufacturer-specific programs like AMS™ or PDM are also supported.

Additional Resources
Further information, including operating instructions and product details, can be found on the VEGA website. Tools like the "Finder" and "Configurator" assist in selecting the appropriate instrument for specific applications.

VEGAPULS 62-1

Specification sheet 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids Technical data Measuring range up to Process fitting Thread from G1½; 1½ NPT; flanges from DN 40, 1½" Process pressure Process temperature Ambient, storage and transport temperature Operating voltage SIL qualification Materials Application area The VEGAPULS 62 sensor can be used universally for continuous level measurement in liquids. It is suitable for level measurement in storage containers, reactors and process vessels, even under difficult process conditions. With its various antenna versions and materials, VEGAPULS 62 is the optimal solution for almost all applications and processes. Its wide temperature and pressure range makes project planning simple. Your benefit • Maintenance-free operation thanks to non-contact measuring principle • High plant availability, because wear and maintenance free • Exact measuring results independent of pressure, temperature, gas and steam Function Extremely short microwave pulses are emitted by the antenna system in the direction of the measured product, reflected by the product surface and received back again by the antenna system. The time from emission to reception of the signals is proportional to the level in the vessel. A special time stretching procedure allows reliable and precise measurement of the extremely short signal running times. The wetted parts of the instrument are made of 316L, Alloy C22 (2.4602), Alloy 400 (2.4360), stainless steel precision casting (1.4848) or PTFE, PP, PEEK. The process seal is made of FKM, FFKM or graphite. You will find a complete overview of the available materials and seals in the "Configurator" at www.vega.com and "VEGA Tools". Housing versions The housings are available as single chamber or double chamber version in plastic, stainless steel or aluminium. They are available with protection ratings up to IP 68 (1 bar). Electronics versions The instruments are available in different electronics versions. Apart from 4 … 20 mA/HART in two and four-wire version, there are also digital versions with Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus and Modbus protocols. Another HART version is available with integrated accumulator. Supplementary electronics For instruments with double chamber housing two supplementary electronics such as radio module or a power pack are available. Approvals The instruments are suitable for use in hazardous areas and are approved e.g. according to ATEX and IEC. The instruments also have various ship approvals such as e.g. GL, LRS or ABS.
