All operations described in this documentation must be carried out only by trained, qualified personnel authorised by the plant operator. During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGAPULS 62 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.

Fasten counter nut (3) with a wrench (width across flats 36), max. torque see chapter " Technical data" Note: On the version with rinsing air connection, make sure that the holes in the antenna and in the process fitting coincide. This ensures a suf- ficient air flow (the air is led through the holes to the feed system. A rinsing of the whole parabolic antenna is not intended).

4. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry Fig. 6: Connection steps 5 and 6 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.

Min. level = max. measuring distance Max. level = min. measuring distance Reference plane For this adjustment, the distance is entered when the vessel is full and nearly empty. If these values are not known, an adjustment with other distances, for example, 10 % and 90 % is also possible. Starting point for these distance specifications is always the seal surface of the thread or flange. The function " Echo curve memory" makes it possible to save the Diagnostics - Echo curve memory echo curve at the time of setup. This is generally recommended, and VEGAPULS 62 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol...

3. All interfering signals in this range are detected by the sensor and stored after being confirmed with [OK]. Note: Check the distance to the medium surface, because if an incorrect (too large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as a false signal. The level would then no longer be detectable in this area. VEGAPULS 62 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol...
