3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGAPULS 65 is a radar sensor for continuous measurement of
liquids under simple process conditions. It is particularly suitable for
level measurement in vessels with small process fittings and under
simple process conditions.
The instrument can be used with products with an ε
r
value ≥1.8. The
actually achievable value depends on the measuring conditions, the
antenna system, the standpipe or bypass.
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.
The instrument is powered via an integrated accumulator. This allows
operation of the instrument independently of the mains or a control
system. To achieve a longer battery lifetime, the instrument is preset
to HART multidrop. This puts a load of only 4 mA current on the ac-
cumulator.
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.
