VEGAPULS 63 • Profibus PA

Fig. 12: Pipe antenna system in a tank. The vent hole in the surge pipe must be

in one plane with the polarisation marking on the sensor.

Marking of the polarisation direction

Vent hole max. ø 5 mm (0.2 in)

If possible, the antenna diameter of the sensor should correspond

to the inner diameter of the tube. With VEGAPULS 63 this is approx.

40 mm (1.575 in). The sensor can be used with tube diameters be-

tween 40 ... 80 mm (1.575 ... 3.15 in).

Bypass tube

As an alternative to the surge pipe in the vessel, a tube system out-

side of the vessel is possible as a bypass tube. Select during setup

the function "Bypass tube".

Align the sensor in such a way that the polarisation marking on the

process fitting is in the same plane as the tube holes or the tube con-

nection openings (see illustration: "VEGAPULS in a bypass tube").
