    3 Product description if necessary, further certificates 3.2 Principle of operation The radar sensor VEGAPULS WL 61 is particularly suitable for use in Application area pump stations and rain overflow basins, for flow measurement in open flumes as well as for gauge measurement. The high housing protection rating of the instrument allows outdoor mounting.

    Kevlar. This rope must be anchored separately. In order to avoid faulty measured values, make sure that the sensor does not oscillate. Fig. 2: Mounting via the connection cable, for example, via a straining clamp VEGAPULS WL 61 • Profibus PA...
  • Page 10 Mounting bracket For a rigid mounting, a mounting bracket with opening for thread G1½A, e.g. from the VEGA product range, is recommended. The mounting the sensor in the bracket is carried out via a G1½A counter nut of plastic. Take note of chapter 4.4 "Mounting instructions" for the distance to the wall.
  • Page 11 For this purpose, there is a mounting strap with 170 mm length available in the VEGA product line. The radar impulses are deflected via a 45° reflector, e.g. a stainless steel sheet, to the water surface.

  • Page 12: Mounting Preparations, Mounting Strap

    There are two different versions for screwing the strap to the sensor. Depending on the selected version, the sensor can be rotated infinitely variably in the strap by 180° or in three steps 0°, 90° and 180°. Fig. 7: Turning by fastening in the centre VEGAPULS WL 61 • Profibus PA...
