    2 For your safety 2 For your safety 2.1 Authorised personnel All operations described in this operating instructions manual must be carried out only by trained specialist personnel authorised by the plant operator. During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn.

  • Page 6: Ce Conformity

    2 For your safety Depending on the instrument version, the emitting frequencies are in the C or K band range. The low emitting frequencies are far below the internationally approved limit values. When used correctly, there is no danger to health. 2.5 CE conformity The device fulfills the legal requirements of the applicable EC guidelines.

  • Page 7: Environmental Instructions

    2 For your safety The device must be non-sensitive to interfering immissions, including those that may cause undesirable operating conditions. Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer will lead to expiry of the operating licence according to FCC/IC. The instrument is in conformity with RSS-210 of the IC regulations. The instrument may only be operated in closed vessels made of metal, concrete, or fibre-reinforced plastic.

    3 Product description Scope of the operating This operating instructions manual applies to the following instrument instructions manual versions: Hardware from 2.1.1 Software from 4.4.0 Versions The instrument is available in two different electronics versions. Each version can be identified via the product code on the type label as well as on the electronics.

  • Page 10: Packaging, Transport And Storage

    3 Product description Functional principle The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the product and received by the antenna as echoes. The running time of the radar pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and hence to the level.

For parameter adjustment of these instruments, an adjustment software such as PACTware with VEGA-DTM is required. You can find further information in the operating instructions "Interface adapter VEGACONNECT" (Document-ID 32628).

  • Page 57 11 Supplement The function block "PID Control " is a key component for various tasks in the process automation and is used universally. PID blocks can be cascaded if this is necessary or requested due to different time constants with the primary and secondary process measurement. Fig.
  • Page 58 11 Supplement The function block "Output Splitter" generates two control outputs out of one input. Each output is a linear image of a part of the input. A retrograde calculation function is realised by using the linear imaging function inversely. A cascading of several Output Splitters is supported by an integrated decision table for the combinability of inputs and outputs.
  • Page 59 11 Supplement The function block "Signal Characterizer" has two channels the outputs of which are not in linear relation with the respective input. The non-linear relation is defined by a look-up table with individually selectable x/y-pairs. The respective input signal is imaged on the corresponding output, hence this function block can be used in a control loop or signal path.
  • Page 60 11 Supplement The function block "Integrator" integrates a continuous input signal over the time and sums the results of an impulse input block. It is used as a totalizer up to a reset or as a subtotalizer up to a reference point at which the integrated and accumulated value is compared with the default values.
  • Page 61 11 Supplement The function block "Input Selector" offers selection possibilities for up to four inputs and generates an output signal according to the selection criteria. Typical input signals are AI blocks. Selection possibilities are maximum, minimum, mean value, average value and first useful signal. Through parameter combination, the block can be used as rotary switch or as preselection switch for the first useful value.
