VEGAPULS C 11

Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGAPULS C 11 is a radar sensor designed for continuous level measurement in various industrial applications, particularly in water treatment and bulk solids containers. It operates using non-contact 80 GHz radar technology, ensuring maintenance-free operation and accurate measurements regardless of environmental conditions.

Specifications
  • Measuring range: Up to 8 meters (26.25 feet)
  • Deviation: ≤ 5 mm
  • Beam angle: 8°
  • Measuring frequency: W-band (80 GHz technology)
  • Output signal: 4 … 20 mA
  • Process fitting: Thread G1½, 1½ NPT, R1½
  • Process pressure: -1 … 3 bar (-100 … 200 kPa/-14.5 … 43.51 psig)
  • Temperature range: -40 … +60 °C (-40 … +140 °F)
  • Bluetooth standard: Bluetooth 5.0
  • Protection rating: IP66/IP68 (3 bar)

Materials and Construction
The sensor's wetted parts are made of PVDF, with a process seal of FKM and a PVC insulated connection cable. The housing is optimized for water/wastewater applications.

Functionality
The sensor emits a continuous radar signal, which is reflected by the medium and received as an echo. The frequency difference between the emitted and received signals is used to calculate the filling height, which is then converted into an output signal.

Adjustment and Connectivity
Wireless adjustment is possible via Bluetooth, compatible with smartphones, tablets, and Windows PCs. The device can be operated using a free app or via PACTware/DTM.

Approvals and Compliance
The VEGAPULS C 11 has worldwide approvals for use in hazardous areas, on ships, and in hygienic applications. Specific safety instructions are available for approved instruments.

Mounting and Accessories
Mounting accessories for ceiling or wall installation are available, including a mounting strap with an adjustable sensor holder.

Additional Information
Further details, including operating instructions, product information, and software accessories, can be found on the VEGA website. The site also provides tools for instrument selection and contact information for personal assistance.

Specification sheet Two-wire 4 … 20 mA Radar sensor for continuous level measurement Technical data Measuring range up to Deviation Beam angle Measuring frequency Output signal Process fitting Mounting connection Process pressure Process temperature Ambient temperature Bluetooth standard Effective range Bluetooth typ. Operating voltage Protection rating Application area The VEGAPULS C 11 is the ideal radar sensor for non-contact level measurement in all standard applications where a high degree of protection is required. It is particularly suitable for level measurement in water treatment, pumping stations and rain overflow basins, for flow measurement in open channels and level monitoring and for many other industrial applications. The sensor is suitable both for measuring liquids and for maintenancefree use on small bulk silos or bulk solids containers. Your benefit • Maintenance-free operation due to non-contact 80 GHz radar technology • Exact measuring results independent of product, process and ambient conditions • Low-cost sensor for simple measuring tasks 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 Materials The wetted parts of the instrument are made of PVDF. The process seal consists of FKM. The connection cable is PVC insulated. A complete overview of the available materials and seals can be found on our homepage under "Products" and "Configure & Order". Housing versions The housing is optimized for applications in the water/waste water industry and manufactured of PVDF. Due to the encapsulated cable gland, protection rating IP66/IP68 (3 bar) is achieved. Electronics versions The devices are constructed with two-wire electronics 4 … 20 mA. 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.
