  • Page 5: For Your Safety

    During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGASON 61 is a sensor for continuous level measurement. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter "Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.

    That is why we have introduced an environment management system with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro- tection. The environment management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001. Please help us fulfill this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter "Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter "Disposal" VEGASON 61 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...

  • Page 10: Mounting

    Fig. 2: Measures against moisture ingress Measuring range The reference plane for the measuring range is the lower edge of the transducer. Make sure that a minimum distance from the reference plane - the so-called dead zone, in which measurement is not possible - is maintained. The exact value of the dead zone is stated in chapter "Technical data". VEGASON 61 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...

  • Page 11: Mounting Instructions

    This influences the measuring result, particularly if the level is very low. With pressures under -0.2 bar (-20 kPa) you should use a different measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided microwave. Mounting instructions Screwing in Screw VEGASON 61 into the mounting socket with an appropriate spanner applied to the hexagon of the process fitting. Max. torque see chapter "Technical data". VEGASON 61 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...
  • Page 12 In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible down to the lowest point of the vessel bottom. VEGASON 61 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...
  • Page 13 10 mm (0.394 in) out of the socket. Fig. 7: Recommended socket mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGASON 61 on sockets which are higher than the length of the transducer. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.
  • Page 14 Vessel installations such as for example, ladders, limit switches, heat- ing spirals, struts etc. can cause false echoes that interfere with the useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring site that the ultrasonic signals have a "clear view" to the measured product. In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage should be carried out during setup. VEGASON 61 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...
  • Page 15 If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal storage should be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfer- ing reflections from the agitators are saved with the blades in different positions. Fig. 12: Agitators Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure Inflowing medium that you detect the product surface, not the inflowing product. VEGASON 61 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...
  • Page 16 (TDR). Standpipe measurement By using a standpipe (surge or bypass tube), the influence of vessel installations, foam generation and turbulence is excluded. Standpipes must extend all the way down to the requested min. level, as measurement is only possible within the tube. VEGASON 61 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...
  • Page 17 Fig. 14: Standpipe in the tank Vent hole: ø 5 … 10 mm (0.197 … 0.394 in) VEGASON 61 can be used from tube diameters of 40 mm (1.575 in). Avoid large gaps and thick welding joints when connecting the tubes.

    Standard Address 0 Parameter adjustment As VEGASON 61 is a distance measuring instrument, the distance from the sensor to the product surface is measured. To have the real product level displayed, an allocation of the measured distance to the percentage height must be made. To carry out this adjustment, the distance is entered with full and empty vessel.
