Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGAPULS 67 is a radar sensor designed for continuous level measurement of bulk solids in simple process conditions, suitable for smaller silos and vessels. It offers an economical solution with versatile and simple mounting options, ensuring maintenance-free operation even in environments with strong contamination.

Benefits
  • Non-contact measuring principle for maintenance-free operation.
  • High plant availability due to wear and maintenance-free design.
  • Reliable measurement unaffected by steam, dust, and noise.

Functionality
The sensor emits extremely short microwave pulses that are reflected by the product surface and received back by the antenna system. The time from emission to reception is proportional to the level in the vessel, allowing precise measurement.

Technical Specifications
  • Measuring range: up to 15 m (49.21 ft)
  • Deviation: ±2 mm
  • Process fitting: Mounting strap, compression flanges from DN 80, 3"
  • Process pressure: -1 to +2 bar (-14.5 to +29.0 psig)
  • Process temperature: -40 to +80 °C (-40 to +176 °F)
  • Operating voltage: 9.6 to 36 V DC
  • SIL qualification: Optionally up to SIL2

Materials and Housing
The wetted parts are made of PVDF or PP, with a process seal of FPM. Housing options include single or double chamber versions in plastic, stainless steel, or aluminium, with protection ratings up to IP 68.

Electronics and Approvals
Available in various electronics versions, including 4-20 mA/HART, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus, and Modbus protocols. Approved for use in hazardous areas according to ATEX and IEC standards, with various ship approvals.

Operation and Adjustment
Adjustment can be done via the optional display and adjustment module PLICSCOM, a PC with PACTware software, or a HART Communicator.

Electrical Connection
Includes terminals for voltage supply/signal output, display and adjustment module, external display, and ground terminal for cable screen connection.

Dimensions
Detailed dimensions are provided for mounting and installation.

Additional Information
Further information, including operating instructions and product details, can be found on the VEGA website. Tools for instrument selection and configuration are also available online.

Specification sheet 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of bulk solids Technical data Measuring range up to Process fitting Mounting strap, compression flanges from DN 80, 3" Process pressure Process temperature Ambient, storage and transport temperature Operating voltage SIL qualification Materials Application area The VEGAPULS 67 is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of bulk solids under simple process conditions. It is suitable for smaller silos and vessels. The VEGAPULS 67 is an economical solution through its versatile and simple mounting options. The encapsulated antenna system ensures maintenance-free permanent operation even with strong contamination. Your benefit • Maintenance-free operation thanks to non-contact measuring principle • High plant availability, because wear and maintenance free • Reliable measurement independent of steam, dust and noise 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 PVDF or PP. The process seal is made of FPM. 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. You can find detailed information at www.vega.com/downloads and "Approvals". VEGA Grieshaber KG, Am Hohenstein 113, 777
