fter connecting VEGAFLEX 62 to power supply or after a voltage

recurrence, the instrument carries out a self-check for approx. 30
seconds:

corresponds to the actual level as well as the settings already carried
out, e.g. factory setting).

n HART-Multidrop mode (several sensors on one input) the address

A

s VEGAFLEX 62 is a distance measuring instrument, the distance

from the sensor to the product surface is measured. To have the real
product level displayed, an allocation of the measured distance to the
percentage height must be made. To carry out this adjustment, the
distance is entered with full and empty vessel. If these values are not
known, an adjustment with the distance values, e.g. 10 % and 90 % is
also possible. Starting point for these distance specifications is always
the seal surface of the thread or flange. With these settings, the real
level is calculated. Furthermore the operating range of the sensor is
limited from maximum to the required range.

T

he real product level during this adjustment is not important, because

the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without changing the
product level. These settings can be made ahead of time without the
instrument having to be installed.

I

n the main menu item "Basic adjustment", the individual submenu

items should be selected one after the other and provided with the
correct parameter values.

Caution:
I

f there is a separation of different liquids in the vessel, e.g. by

condensation, VEGAFLEX 62 will always detect the medium with the
higher dielectric figure (ε

r

).
