VEGAPULS 69-1

Specification sheet 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of bulk solids Technical data Measuring range up to Deviation Process fitting Process pressure Process temperature Ambient, storage and transport temperature Operating voltage Application area The VEGAPULS 69 is a sensor for continuous measurement of bulk solids under different process conditions. The sensor is ideal for level measurement in very high silos, large bunkers and segmented vessels. The very good signal focussing ensures a simple setup and a reliable measurement. The wetted parts of the instrument are made of 316L, PP or PEEK. The process seal is made of FKM or EPDM. You will find a complete overview of the available materials and seals in the "Configurator" at www.vega.com and "VEGA Tools". The VEGAPULS 69 can be equipped with an encapsulated plastic antenna or a lens antenna integrated in the metal flange. Due to this, an optimum adaptation to different applications is possible. Housing versions Your benefit They are available with protection ratings up to IP 68 (1 bar). • Maintenance-free operation thanks to non-contact measuring principle Electronics versions • High plant availability, because wear and maintenance free • Reliable measurement independent of steam, dust and noise Function The sensor emits a continuous radar signal through the antenna. The emitted signal is reflected by the medium and received as an echo by the antenna. The frequency difference between the emitted and received signal is proportional to the distance and depends on the filling height. The determined filling height is converted into a respective output signal and output as measured value. VEGA Grieshaber KG, Am Hohenstein 113, 77761 Schiltach/Germany, www.vega.com The housings are available as single chamber or double chamber version in plastic, stainless steel or aluminium. 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. Approvals The instruments are suitable for use in hazardous areas and are approved, for example, according to ATEX.
