  • Page 14: Mount

    Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGAPULS 68 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down- ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.

  • Page 15: Mounting Preparations - Horn Antenna

    Information: If the medium reaches the antenna, buildup can form on it and cause faulty measurements later on. Make sure that the wetted parts of VEGAPULS 68, especially Wetted materials the seal and process fitting, are suitable for the existing process conditions such as pressure, temperature etc.

  • Page 16: Mounting Preparations - Parabolic Antenna

    4.3 Mounting preparations - Parabolic antenna Information: This information applies only to special versions! VEGAPULS 68 is also available in versions where the antenna has a bigger diameter than the process fitting (thread, flange). The antenna must therefore be disconnected from the flange before mounting.

  • Page 22 Fig. 10: Recommended socket mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGAPULS 68 on sockets which are higher than the length of the antenna. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.
  • Page 23 150 mm/6" 800 mm Fig. 11: Deviating socket dimensions Tip: VEGAPULS 68 is optionally also available with antenna extension. Hence the antenna length can be selected such that the antenna end protrudes 10 mm (0.4 in) out of the socket.
