Page 5: For Your Safety
During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGAPULS 67 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. -
Page 6: Ce Conformity
• NE 53 – Compatibility of field devices and display/adjustment components For further information see www.namur.de. 2.8 FCC/IC conformity (only for USA/Canada) The VEGAPULS 67 may only be used in closed vessels made of metal, concrete, or fibre-reinforced plastic. Note about this manual: This operating instructions manual is intended for use in a number of different countries. The illustrations show some applications of VEGAPULS 67 in atmospherically open vessels. These applications are not in conformity with the FCC/IC approvals of the instrument. -

The rinsing connection is used to blow compressed air into the antenna area of the radar sensor. This protects the surfaces of the antenna system against dust or condensation. You will find additional information in the supplementary instructions manual "Rinsing connection" (Document-ID 49552).

Page 13: Mounting
Measuring range The reference plane for the measuring range of the sensors is the bearing surface on the side of the focussing lens. With the version with adapter flange, the reference plane is the lower side of the flange. VEGAPULS 67 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire... - Page 14 With radar sensors, the polarisa- tion can be used to considerably reduce the effect of false echoes by turning the instrument in the connection flange or mounting boss. The position of the polarisation plane is marked on the instrument. Fig. 5: Position of the polarisation plane of VEGAPULS 67 Marking bars VEGAPULS 67 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire...

Page 17: Mounting Instructions
With the aluminium double chamber housing, retroactive mount- ing in this way is not possible - the mounting type must be specified with the order. Information: The mounting socket should be as short as possible and its end rounded. This reduces false echoes from the vessel mounting socket. VEGAPULS 67 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire... - Page 18 Tip: In new facilities it is useful to incline the vessel socket in the direction of the outlet. False reflections from the vessel wall are thus reduced and measurement all the way down to the bottom of the conical outlet is possible. VEGAPULS 67 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire...
- Page 19 The optimum mounting position is on the outer wall of the silo with the sensor oriented towards the outlet in the silo center. Fig. 13: Installation and orientation in multiple chamber silos VEGAPULS 67 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire...
- Page 20 Air rinsing Air rinsing is useful for avoiding buildup, particularly when there is strong condensation. Since VEGAPULS 67 has no direct rinsing air connection, a separate rinsing air connection must be provided in the mounting socket. By inclining this connection towards the top, a particularly effective cleaning of the antenna cover is achieved.
