Specification sheet Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids and bulk solids Technical data Measuring range up to Deviation Beam angle depending on antenna Measuring frequency Process fitting Process pressure Application area VEGAPULS 6X is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids and bulk solids. The small process fittings offer particular advantages for liquids in small tanks or tight mounting spaces. The very good signal focusing ensures the use in vessels with many installations such as stirrers and heating spirals. For bulk solids under most different process conditions, the device is ideal for level measurement in very high silos, large bunkers and segmented vessels. The VEGAPULS 6X is equipped with an encapsulated plastic antenna or a lens antenna integrated into the metal flange for this. Applications Process temperature Ambient, storage and transport temperature Bluetooth standard Effective range typ. depending on the local conditions Operating voltage Output signal Protection rating 120 m (393.7 ft) ≤ 1 mm 3° W-band (80 GHz technology), C-band (6 GHz technology), K-band (26 GHz technology) Mounting straps, compression flanges from DN 80, 3", thread from G¾, ¾ NPT, plastic plated flanges from DN 50, 2", flange with swivelling holder from DN 100, 4" -1 … 25 bar (-100 … 2500 kPa/14.5 … 362.6 psig) -196 … +250 °C (-321 … +482 °F) -40 … +80 °C (-40 … +176 °F) Bluetooth 5.0 25 m (82 ft) 12 … 35 V DC 4 … 20 mA/HART, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus, Modbus IP66/IP67, IP66/IP68 (0.2 bar), IP68 (1 bar), IP69K according to IEC 60529, type 6X according to NEMA Materials The wetted parts of the instrument are made of 316L, PP, PTFE or PEEK. The process seal is made of FKM, FFKM, EPDM or PTFE. You will find a complete overview of the available materials and seals in the " Configurator" at www.vega.com and " VEGA Tools". The VEGAPULS 6X can be used in almost all industrial areas and applications. It is selected anad adapted simply by an application-orientated configuration and setup. Housing versions Your benefit They are available with protection ratings up to IP68 (1 bar). • Maintenance-free operation thanks to non-contact measuring principle Electronics versions • High plant availability, because wear and maintenance free • Exact measuring results independent of process conditions Function The device sends a continuous radar signal or extremely short microwave pulses, depending on its measuring frequency, via its antenna. The transmitted signal ils reflected by the medium and received as an echo by the antenna. The frequency difference between the transmitted and the received signal or the time from ransmitting to receiving the signals is proportional to the distance and depends on the filling height. The thus determined filling height is transformed into an appropriate output signal and output as a measured value. The housings are available as single chamber or double chamber version in plastic, stainless steel or aluminium. The device is available in different electronic versions. In addition to 4 … 20 mA/HART in two and four-wire versions, digital versions with Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus and Modbus protocol are also possible. In addition, the VEGAPULS 6X can also be conifugred with integrated overvoltage arrester, additional current output as well as integrated radio module PLISCMOBILE 81. Approvals Worldwide approvals are available for VEGA instruments, e.g. for use in hazardous areas, on ships or in hygienic applications. The technical data in the respective safety instructions are valid for approved instruments (e.g. with Ex approval). In some cases, these data can differ from the data listed herein. You can find detailed information on the existing approvals with the appropriate product on our homepage.

Adjustment directly at the measuring point The adjustment of the instrument is carried out via the optional display and adjustment module PLICSCOM or via a PC with the adjustment software PACTware and corresponding DTM. Wireless adjustment via Bluetooth The Bluetooth version of display and adjustment module enables a wireless connection to standard adjustment units. This can be smartphones/tablets with iOS or Android operating system or PCs with PACTware and Bluetooth USB adapter. Adjustment is hence carried out via a free-of-charge app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store or...
