  • Page 12: Housing Features

    This influences the measuring result, particularly if the level is very low. With pressures under -0.2 bar (-20 kPa) you should use a different measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided radar (TDR). Housing features Filter element The filter element in the housing is used for ventilation of the housing. For effective ventilation, the filter element must always be free of deposits. Therefore, mount the device so that the filter element is protected against deposits. Note: Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to clean housings in standard types of protection. The filter element could be damaged and mois- ture could penetrate the housing. VEGASON 62 • Foundation Fieldbus...
  • Page 13 Housing orientation The housing of VEGASON 62 can be rotated completely by 360°. This enables optimal reading of the display and easy cable entry. For housings made of plastic or electropolished stainless steel, this is done without tools.

Fig. 8: Recommended socket mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGASON 62 on sockets which are higher than the length of the transducer. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.

  • Page 18 α Fig. 12: Cover flat, large-area profiles with deflectors Agitators If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal suppression should be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfering reflections from the agitators are saved with the blades in different positions. Fig. 13: Agitators Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure Inflowing medium that you detect the medium surface, not the inflowing product. VEGASON 62 • Foundation Fieldbus...
  • Page 19 Standpipe measurement By using a standpipe (surge or bypass tube), the influence of vessel installations, foam generation and turbulence is excluded. Standpipes must extend all the way down to the requested min. level, as measurement is only possible within the tube. VEGASON 62 • Foundation Fieldbus...
