    The range of available functions depends on the respective software version of the individual components. The software version of VEGASON 64 can be determined as follows: via PACTware on the type label of the electronics via the indicating and adjustment module You can view all software histories on our website www.vega.com.

    Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGASON 64 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.

    4 Mounting 4.3 Mounting instructions When mounting VEGASON 64, keep a distance of at least 500 mm Mounting position (19.69 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. These can, however, be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter "Setup").
  • Page 19 If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGASON 64 on a socket piece. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Carry out a false echo storage. Sensor orientation Align the sensor in liquids as vertical as possible to the product surface to achieve optimum measuring results.
  • Page 20 If there are agitators in the vessel, a false echo storage should be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfering reflections from the agitators are saved with the blades in different positions. Fig. 14: Agitators VEGASON 64 • Profibus PA...
  • Page 21 If foams are causing measurement errors, the sensor should be used in a standpipe or, alternatively, the more suitable guided radar sensors (TDR) should be used. Guided radar is unaffected by foam generation and is particularly suitable for such applications. VEGASON 64 • Profibus PA...
  • Page 22 If there are strong air currents in the vessel, e.g. due to strong winds in outdoor installations or air turbulence, e.g. by cyclone extraction you should mount VEGASON 64 in a standpipe or use a different measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided radar (TDR).

    Each Profibus instrument gets an unambiguous ident number (ID number) from the Profibus user organisation (PNO). This ID number is also included in the name of the GSD file. For VEGASON 64 the ID number is 0x0770(hex) and the GSD file "SN__0770.GSD". As an option to this manufacturer-specific GSD file, PNO provides also a general so-called profile-specific GSD file.
