Adjustment

Measurement loop 1 (upstream water): Select under

"Measurement loops - Meas. loop 1 - Adjustment" in the menu

item "Adjustment unit" the unit "m" (meter) and the density

unit "1.000 kg/dm³". Enter under "Min. adjustment" 0.00 m and

under "Max. adjustment" the max. level in meter (h1) ein. I.e. in

the existing example 2 m

Measurement loop 2 (downstream water): Carry out the

adjustment with the same specifications as for measurement

loop 1

Measurement loop 3 (difference): The adjustment of the

upstream water is taken over automatically (0 % ≙ 0.00m, 100%

≙ 2 m)

Relay configuration

– Select under "Measurementloops - Meas. loop 3 - Outputs -

Relay otuputs - Relay 3 - Overfill protection - Percent" the menu

item "Switching points relay 3". Enter for switching point "OFF"

10 % and for switching point "ON" 5 %. With these settings,

the relay deenergizes at a difference of 20 cm and switches

on again at 10 cm. Hence the cleaning procedure starts with a

gauge difference of more than 20 cm and is running until the

difference is again below 10 cm.

8.3 Interface measurement with VEGAFLEX

In an interface measurement, there are two different media which

do not mix, e. g. water and oil or solvents. To detect the volume of

both products, it is necessary to detect the height of the upper liquid

(level) and the interface between the two products. A VEGAFLEX is

necessary as a transmitter which delivers the distance to the upper

medium as well as the distance to the interface. Via the adjustment in

VEGAMET 625 the level, interface and layer thickness of the upper

medium can be calculated and displayed.
The following steps are necessary:

Selection of the application

– Select under "Device settings - Application" the entry "Inter-

face measurement" and confirm with [OK]. Via the [->] key you

reach the next step.

Assignment of the inputs and measurement loops

– Select "Input - Change input". Now the automatic sensor

search is started and if connected correctly, VEGAFLEX will be

displayed. Take over the selection with [OK] and move to the

adjustment of the dielectric figure with [->]. The input variables

are assigned automatically to the following measurement loops:

– Meas. loop 1: Interface (level of the lower medium)

– Meas. loop 2: Level (total level of both products)

– Meas. loop 3: Layer thickness (thickness of the upper medium)

Enter dielectric figure

– Enter here the exact dielectric figure of the upper medium. This

figure is then transferred automatically to VEGAFLEX. Further

information on the dielectric figure are available in the operating
