Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGAPULS WL S 61 is a radar sensor designed for continuous level measurement in the water and wastewater industry. It is ideal for use in water treatment facilities, pump stations, and storm water overflow tanks. The sensor features a flood-proof IP 68 housing and offers maintenance-free operation due to its non-contact measuring principle.

Key Benefits
  • Maintenance-free and wear-resistant operation.
  • Accurate measurements regardless of product, process, or environmental conditions.

Functionality
The sensor operates by emitting short microwave pulses that are reflected by the medium and received back as an echo. The time between emission and reception is proportional to the distance, which is used to calculate the filling height and output as a measured value.

Technical Specifications
  • Measuring range: up to 8 m (26.25 ft)
  • Deviation: ±5 mm
  • Process fitting: Thread G1½
  • Process pressure: -1 to +2 bar (-14.5 to +29.0 psig)
  • Process temperature: -40 to +60 °C (-40 to +140 °F)
  • Operating voltage: 11.6 to 35 V DC
  • Materials: Wetted parts made of Valox PBT or PP; PUR insulated connection cable

Housing and Electronics
The housing is made of Valox PBT, optimized for wastewater applications, and achieves IP 68 protection. The electronics version available is 4 to 20 mA.

Adjustment and Connectivity
Adjustment is wireless via Bluetooth using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. The device can be configured using a free app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, or through PACTware software.

Electrical Connection
The connection cable includes brown (+) and blue (-) wires for power supply or processing system, with additional shielding.

Dimensions
The sensor has specific dimensions detailed in the document, ensuring compatibility with various installations.

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

VEGAPULS WL S 61-1

Specification sheet 4 … 20 mA Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of water and wastewater Technical data Measuring range up to Deviation Process fitting Process pressure Process temperature Storage and transport temperature Operating voltage Materials The wetted parts of the instrument are made of Valox PBT or PP. 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 "Products". Housing versions Application area The radar sensor VEGAPULS WL S 61 is the ideal sensor for typical applications in the water and waste water industry. It is particularly suitable for level measurement in water treatment, in pump stations as well as storm water overflow tanks. The flood-proof IP 68 housing ensures a maintenance-free permanent operation. An integrated Bluetooth module enables the wireless communication with smartphone, tablet or PC. 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 instrument is available in the 4 … 20 mA electronics version. 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 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 output as measured value. VEGA Grieshaber KG, Am Hohenstein 113, 77761 S
