    In this operating instructions manual, the optional instrument features are described. The respective scope of delivery results from the order specification. Principle of operation Application area The VEGAPULS 69 is a radar sensor for continuous level measure- ment of bulk solids even under the most difficult process conditions and in very large measuring ranges. It is ideal for use in high, slender silos with poorly reflecting bulk solids such as fly-ash, plastic granules or wood chips as well as internal installations that cause strong false echoes.

    In such cases, we recommend repeating the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup. Inflowing medium The instrument should not be mounted too close to the inflowing medium, as the radar signal could be disrupted.
