VEGAPULS WL 61-1

Specification sheet Profibus PA Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of water and wastewater Technical data Measuring range up to Deviation Process fitting Process pressure Process temperature Ambient, storage and transport temperature Operating voltage Materials The wetted parts of the instrument are made of Valox PBT or PP. The process seal is made of FPM. The connection cable is PUR insulated. You will find a complete overview of the available materials and seals in the "Configurator" at www.vega.com and "VEGA Tools". Housing versions Application area The VEGAPULS WL 61 is the ideal sensor for all applications in water and sewage water applications. It is particularly suitable for use in water processing, pump stations as well as overflow basins, for flow measurement in open flumes and gauge monitoring. The VEGAPULS WL 61 is an economical solution through versatile and simple mounting options. The flood-proof IP 68 housing ensures a maintenance-free permanent operation. Your benefit • Maintenance-free operation thanks to non-contact measuring principle • High plant availability, because wear and maintenance free • Exact measuring results independent of product, process and ambient conditions The housing is optimized for applications in the waste water industry and manufactured of Valox PBT. Due to the encapsulated cable gland, protection rating IP 68 (2 bar) is achieved. Electronics versions The instruments are available in different electronics versions. Apart from the two-wire electronics with 4 … 20 mA/HART, two purely digital versions with Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus are possible. Approvals The instruments are suitable for use in hazardous areas and are approved, for example, according to ATEX and IEC. You can find detailed information at www.vega.com/downloads and "Approvals". Function The sensor emits extremely short microwave pulses through the antenna. The emitted signal is reflected by the medium and received as an echo by the antenna. The time between the emitted and received signal is proportional to the distance and depends from the filling height. The determined filling height is converted into a respective output signal and outputted as measured value. VEGA Grieshaber KG, Am Hohenstein 113, 77761 Sch
