3.2 Principle of operation
The radar sensor VEGAPULS WL 61 is the ideal sensor for all appli-
cations 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, for flow measurement in open flumes and
for gauge measurement.
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the product
and received by the antenna as echoes. The transit time of the radar
pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and
hence to the level. The determined level is converted into an appropri-
ate output signal and outputted as measured value.
3.3 Packaging, transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE
foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-
cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
•
Not in the open
•
Dry and dust free
•
Not exposed to corrosive media
•
Protected against solar radiation
•
Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration
