Page 3: Measuring Principle
A special time stretching procedure allows reliable and precise measure- ment of the extremely short times. The VEGAPULS 67, SR 68, 68 radar sensors work with low emitted power in the K-band frequency range. Measuring principle VEGAPULS 69 The instrument emits a continuous radar signal via its lens-shaped antenna. -

Page 9: Mounting
Clinker is an additive for concrete and is stored in large silos or bunkers. Its abrasive properties as well as extreme dust generation during filling Fig. 16: Level measurement in a plastic granules silo with VEGAPULS 67 place heavy demands on the level measurement. - Page 10 Mounting Cement silo Fig. 19: Level measurement in a cement silo with VEGAPULS 69 Cement is stored in high and very slender silos. The abrasive properties as well as the extreme dust generation during filling make high demand on the level measurement. The VEGAPULS 69 sensor is the optimum solution for level measure- ment.
