    – Angle of inclination in two steps 0° and 90° – Angle of inclination 90°, infinitely variable Mounting instructions Polarisation Radar sensors for level measurement emit electromagnetic waves. The polarization is the direction of the electrical component of these waves. The polarization direction is marked by a nose on the housing, see following drawing: Fig. 3: Position of the polarisation Nose for marking the direction of polarisation VEGAPULS 69 • HART and accumulator pack...
  • Page 8 If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false signal suppression during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup. VEGAPULS 69 • HART and accumulator pack...

    To perform the adjustment, enter the distance with full and empty ves- sel, see the following example: VEGAPULS 69 • HART and accumulator pack...
  • Page 14 With the adjustment software PACTware and the PC, the stored echo curves can be displayed with high resolution and used to recognize signal changes over time. In addition, the echo curve saved during setup can also be displayed in the echo curve window and compared with the current echo curve. VEGAPULS 69 • HART and accumulator pack...
