During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGAPULS 69 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.
When installed within 4 to 40 km of a radio astronomy station, the instrument must not be mounted higher than 15 m above the ground. A list of the respective radio astronomy stations can be found in chap- ter "Appendix" of the operating instructions. VEGAPULS 69 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol...
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. Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter "Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter "Disposal" VEGAPULS 69 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol...
Alternatively, you can access the data via your smartphone: • Download the VEGA Tools app from the "Apple App Store" or the "Google Play Store" • Scan the DataMatrix code on the type label of the instrument or •...

If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false signal suppression during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup. VEGAPULS 69 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol...
5. Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan Information: Solid cores as well as flexible cores with wire end sleeves are insert- ed directly into the terminal openings. In case of flexible cores without end sleeves, press the terminal from above with a small screwdriver, the terminal opening is then free. When the screwdriver is released, the terminal closes again.

In this menu item you enter the height of the vessel and hence the active measuring range. 5. Max. adjustment In this menu item you carry out the max. adjustment. Enter the measuring distance for 100 % filling. 6. Min. adjustment In this menu item you carry out the min. adjustment. Enter the measuring distance for 0 % filling.

With the adjustment software PACTware and the PC, the stored echo curves can be displayed with high resolution and used to recognize signal changes over time. In addition, the echo curve saved during setup can also be displayed in the echo curve window and compared with the current echo curve. VEGAPULS 69 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol...
