During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGAPULS 67 is a sensor for continuous level measurement. Due to the integrated accumulator the instrument is particularly suitable as a portable measuring system or test sensor for special applications.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • This device may not cause interference, and • This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device This device is approved for unrestricted use only inside closed, sta- tionary vessels made of metal, reinforced fiberglass or concrete. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufac- turer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. VEGAPULS 67 • HART and accumulator pack...
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 67 • HART and accumulator pack...
• Test certificate (PDF) - optional Move to " www.vega.com" and enter in the search field the serial number of your instrument. 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 • Enter the serial number manually in the app...
You can find drawings of these mounting options in chapter " Dimen- sions". Fig. 2: Flange mounting of the radar sensor Mounting strap Mounting strap The mounting strap enables simple mounting on the vessel wall or silo top. It is suitable for wall, ceiling or boom mounting. Especially in open vessels this is a very easy and effective way to align the sensor to the bulk solid surface. VEGAPULS 67 • HART and accumulator pack...

With the adjustment software PACTware and a PC, a high resolution echo curve can be displayed and used to recognize signal changes during operation. In addition, the echo curve of setup can be dis- played in the echo curve window and compared with the current echo curve. Additional settings - False The following circumstances cause interfering reflections and can signal suppression influence the measurement: • High mounting nozzles • Vessel internals such as struts VEGAPULS 67 • HART and accumulator pack...

This is useful if a false signal suppression was carried out with too high a level and not all false signals could be detected. When selecting " Extend", the distance to the medium surface of the created false signal suppression is displayed. This value can now be changed and the false signal suppression can be extended to this range. VEGAPULS 67 • HART and accumulator pack...
