During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGAPULS 64 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.
Protection of the environment is one of our most important duties. 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. VEGAPULS 64 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...

– Angle of inclination in two steps 0° and 90° 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 64 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire...
