HEATEC VEGA PULS 63.UX Setting Up

HEATEC
Setting up Vega radar sensors
for Heatec vertical asphalt tanks
This document provides information for setting
up Vega radar sensors installed on Heatec tanks
that store liquid asphalt (Figure 1). It applies
to VEGA PULS 63.UX (Figure 2) and PULS
65.UX sensors with Indicating and Adjustment
Module PLICSCOM (Figure 3). It applies to
Heatec vertical tanks with capacities ranging from
10,000 to 35,000 gallons. The sensors are optional
equipment for Heatec tanks.
The sensors indicate levels of asphalt in the tanks.
Levels are shown in feet, measured from the
bottom of the tank.

TEC-NOTE
Publication No. 5-04-116 Revised 6-17-10
This document is furnished with Heatec vertical
tanks equipped with the sensor. Applicable
operating instructions, published by Vega are also
furnished. Both documents are needed to set up the
radar sensors for Heatec tanks.
The sensors require a preliminary setup and a final
setup. The preliminary setup is normally done at
the Heatec factory. The final setup should be done
in the field after the tank is operational. If a new
sensor is installed in the field, and the preliminary
setup was not done at Heatec, it must be done
before final setup can be done.
