3.2 Principle of operation
Area of application
VEGAPULS 62 is a radar sensor in K-band technology
(emitting frequency approx. 26 GHz) for continuous level
measurement.
A version of VEGAPULS 62 is available for the
respective application:
10
VEGAPULS 62 - 4 ... 20 mA/HART
28435-EN-050211
The version with thread and horn antenna with ø 40
mm (1.6 in) is particularly suitable for small tanks and
process vessels for measurement of virtually all
products.
The version with flange and horn antenna with ø 48
… 95 mm (ø 1.9 … 3.7 in) is particularly suitable for
storage tanks and process vessels, for measurement
of solvents, hydrocarbons and fuels under most
difficult process conditions.
The version with parabolic antenna is particularly
suitable for precise measurement of products with
small dielectric value.
Product description
Physical principle
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar
pulses with a duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are
reflected by the product and received by the antenna as
echoes. The running time of the radar pulses from
emission to reception is proportional to the distance and
hence to the level. The determined level is converted
into an appropriate output signal and outputted as
measured value.
Power supply
Two-wire electronics 4 ... 20 mA/HART for power supply
and measured value transmission on the same cable.
The power supply range can differ depending on the
instrument version. The exact range is stated in the
Technical data in the Supplement.
3.3 Adjustment
VEGAPULS 62 can be adjusted with three different
adjustment media:
the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM
an adjustment software acc. to FDT/DTM standard,
e.g. PACTware™ and PC
l a HART handheld
The entered parameters are generally saved in VEGAPULS 62, optionally also in PLICSCOM or in
PACTware™.
3.4 Storage and transport
28435-EN-050211
Packaging
Your instrument was protected by packaging during
transport. Its capacity to handle normal loads during
transport is assured by a test acc. to EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of
environment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special
versions PE foam or PE foil can be also used. Dispose
of the packaging material via specialised recycling

4.1 General instructions
Installation position
Select an installation position you can easily reach for
mounting and connecting as well as later retrofitting of
an indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM. The
housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of any
tools. You can also install the indicating and adjustment
module PLICSCOM in four different positions (each
displaced by 90°).
Moisture
Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting
to power supply") and tighten the cable entry.
You can give your VEGAPULS 62 additional protection
against moisture penetration by leading the connection
cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and
condensation water can thus drain off. This applies
mainly to mounting outdoors, in areas where moisture is
expected (e.g. by cleaning processes) or on cooled or
heated vessels.
Fig. 2: Measures against moisture penetration
28435-EN-050211
Measuring range
The reference plane for the measuring range is the lower
edge of the flange or the seal surface of the thread.
Information:
If the product reaches the antenna, buildup can form on
it over a period of time and later cause measurement
errors.

Mounting
Installation location
When mounting VEGAPULS 62, keep a distance of at
least 200 mm (7.9 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is
installed in the center of concave or arched vessel tops,
multiple echoes can arise. These can, however, be
faded out by an appropriate adjustment (see Setup).
If this distance cannot be maintained, a false echo
storage should be carried out during setup. This applies
particularly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In
this case, we recommend repeating the false echo
storage later on with existing buildup.
> 200 mm

In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to
mount the sensor in the center of the vessel, as
measurement is then possible down to the lowest points
of the vessel bottom.

Mounting
Fig. 11: Orientation in liquids
Vessel installations
The radar sensor should be installed at a location where
no installations cross the radar signals.
Vessel installations such as, for example, ladders, limit
switches, heating spirals, struts, etc. can cause false
echoes superimposed on the useful echo. Make sure
when planning your measuring location that the radar
signals have "free access" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo
storage should be carried out during setup.
If large vessel installations such as struts or supports
cause false echoes, these can be attenuated through
supplementary measures. Small, inclined sheet metal
baffles above the installations scatter the radar signals
and avoid a direct false echo reflection.
Fig. 12: Cover smooth profiles with deflectors
Agitators
In case of agitators in the vessel, a false echo storage
should be carried out with the agitators to be in motion.
This ensures that the false reflections of the agitators are
saved in different positions.

VEGAPULS 62 - 4 ... 20 mA/HART
Mounting
Fig. 13: Agitators
Foam generation
Through the action of filling, stirring and other processes
in the vessel, dense foams can be generated on the
product surface which damp the emitted signal considerably.
If foams can cause measurement errors, biggest
possible radar antennas and low frequency radar
sensors, e.g. VEGAPULS 65/66 (C-band) should be
used.
VEGAFLEX sensors with guided microwaves are not
influenced by foam generation and are particularly
suitable for such applications.
Measurement in the
standpipe (surge or bypass tube)
By the use of a standpipe, influences of vessel
installations and turbulence can be excluded. Under
these requirements, the measurement of products with
low dielectric values (from DK value 1.6) is possible.
28435-EN-050211
Surge or bypass tubes must extend all the way down to
the requested min. level, as measurement is only
possible within the tube.

If possible, the antenna diameter of the sensor should
correspond to the inner diameter of the tube. With
VEGAPULS 62 these are approx. 40 mm (1.6 in). The
sensor can be used from tube diameters of 40 ... 80 mm
(1.6 ... 3.2 in).
Take note of the necessary upper vent hole in the surge
pipe which must by displaced by 90° to the polarisation
direction on the sensor (see illustration: Pipe antenna
systems in a tank).
As an alternative to the surge pipe in the vessel, a pipe
system outside of the vessel is possible as bypass tube.
For setup, select the function Bypass tube.
Direct the sensor in such a way that the polarisation
marking on the process fitting is displaced by 90° to the
tube holes or the tube connection openings (see
illustration: VEGAPULS in a bypass tube).

4.5 Preparing the connection
Note safety instructions
Always observe the following safety instructions:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
If overvoltages are expected, overvoltage arresters
should be installed.
Tip:
We recommend VEGA overvoltage arresters ÜS-F-LB-I
and ÜSB 62-36G.X.
Take note of safety
instructions for Ex
applications
In hazardous areas you should take note of the
appropriate regulations, conformity and type approval
certificates of the sensors and power supply units.
Select power supply
Power supply and current signal are transmitted via the
same two-wire connection cable. The power supply
range can differ depending on the instrument version.
The exact range is stated in the Technical data in the
Supplement.
Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit
and the mains circuits acc. to DIN VDE 0106 part 101.
The VEGA power supply units VEGATRENN 149AEx,
VEGASTAB 690, VEGADIS 371 as well as all VEGAMETs meet this requirement.
Bear in mind the following factors regarding supply
voltage:
Select connection cable
VEGAPULS 62 is connected with standard two-wire
cable without screen. An outer cable diameter of 5 ...
9 mm ensures the seal effect of the cable entry. If
electromagnetic interference is expected, we recommend the use of screened cable.

supply unit under nominal load (with a sensor current
of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault signal)
the influence of additional instruments in the circuit
(see load values in Technical data)
Mounting
Cable screening and
grounding
Connect the cable screen on both ends to ground
potential. In the sensor, the screen must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground
terminal outside on the housing must be connected to
the potential equalisation (low impedance).
If potential equalisation currents are expected, the
connection on the evaluation side must be made via a
ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low
frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequency
interference signals remains.
Select connection
cable for Ex applications
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations
for Ex applications. In particular, make sure that no
potential equalisation currents flow over the cable
screen. In case of grounding on both sides this can be
achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate
potential equalisation.
4.6 Connection procedure
Proceed as follows:
1 Unscrew the housing cover
2 If a PLICSCOM indicating and adjustment module is
installed, remove it by turning it slightly to the left.
3 Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
4 Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle,
strip approx. 1 cm (0.4 in) insulation from the ends of
the individual wires
5 Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable
entry
28435-EN-050211
6 Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a
screwdriver (see following illustration)
7 Insert the wire ends into the open terminals
according to the wiring plan
8 Press down the opening levers of the terminals, you
will hear the terminal spring closing

Adjustment system
The sensor is adjusted via the four keys of the indicating
and adjustment module PLICSCOM. The LC display
indicates the individual menu items. The functions of the
individual keys are shown in the above illustration.
Approx. 10 minutes after the last pressing of a key, an
automatic reset to measured value indication is trigger-

Setup with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM
ed. Any values not confirmed with [OK] will not be
saved.
5.4 Setup procedure
Switch on phase
After VEGAPULS 62 is connected to power supply or
after voltage recurrence, the instrument carries out a
self-test for approx. 30 seconds. The following steps are
carried out:
internal check of the electronics
indication of the instrument type, the firmware version
as well as the sensor TAGs (sensor name)
l Output signal jumps briefly (approx. 10 seconds) to
the set interference current.
Then the actual measured value is displayed and the
corresponding current is transmitted to the cable1)
Address setting HARTMultidrop
In HART-Multidrop mode (several sensors on one input)
the address must be set before continuing with the
parameter adjustment. You will find a detailed description in the operating instructions manual of PLICSCOM
or in the online help of PACTware™ or DTM.

The values correspond to the actual level as well as to the settings
already carried out, e.g. default setting.
VEGAPULS 62 - 4 ... 20 mA/HART
28435-EN-050211
Because VEGAPULS 62 is a distance measuring
instrument, the distance from the sensor to the product
surface is measured. In order to have the actual level
displayed, an allocation of the measured distance to the
percentage height must be carried out. To make this
adjustment, the full and empty distances in the vessel
are entered. If these values are not known, it is also
possible to carry out the adjustment with other distances, e.g. 10 % and 90 %. Starting point of these distance
values is always the seal surface of the thread or flange.
The actual level is then calculated on the basis of these
Setup with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM
entered values. At the same time, the operating range of
the sensor is limited from maximum range to the
requested range.
The real product level during this adjustment is not
important, because the min./max. adjustment is always
carried out without changing the product level. These
settings can be made ahead of time without the
instrument having to be installed.
In the main menu item Basic adjustment, the individual
submenu items should be selected one after the other
provided with the correct parameter values.
Start your parameter adjustment with the following menu
items of the basic adjustment:

Medium selection
Each product has different reflective properties. In
liquids additional interfering factors are fluctuating
product surfaces and foam generation. In solids, this is
the dust generation, material cone and additional
echoes caused by the vessel wall. To adapt the sensor
to the different applications, you should choose in this
menu item Liquid or Solid.

According to the conductivity and the dielectric constant
value of liquids, the reflection properties can differ
considerably. Therefore additional option such as
Solvent, Chem. mixture and Water based are offered
below the menu item Liquid.
Setup with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM
With the medium selection, the sensor is adapted
perfectly to the product and the reliability, particularly in
products with bad reflective properties is considerably
increased.
Enter the requested parameter via the respective keys,
save your settings and jump to the next menu item with
the [–>] key.
Vessel form
Apart from the medium also the vessel form can
influence the measurement. To adapt the sensor to
these conditions, this menu item offers (depending on
either liquid or solid is selected) different options. For
Liquid these are Storage tank, Stilling tube, Open vessel
or Stirred vessel, for Solid Silo or Bunker.

Damping
To suppress fluctuation in the measured value display,
e.g. by agitated product surfaces, an integration time
can be set. This time can be between 0 and 999
seconds. Please note that the reaction time of the entire
measurement will be longer and the sensor will react to
quick changes of the measured value with a corresponding delay. In general, a time of a few seconds is
sufficient to smooth the measured value display.

Linearization curve
A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the
vessel volume does not increase linearly with the level e.g. in a cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication
or output of the volume is requested. Corresponding
linearization curves are preprogrammed for these
vessels. They represent the correlation between the
level percentage and vessel volume. By activating the
appropriate curve, the volume percentage of the vessel
is displayed correctly. If the volume should not be
displayed in percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling can be
set in the menu item Display.

High sockets or vessel installations, such as e.g. struts
or agitators as well as buildup and weld joints on the
vessel walls cause false reflections which influence the
measurement. A false echo storage detects and marks
these false echoes so that they are no longer taken into
Setup with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM
account for the level measurement. A false echo
memory should be created with empty vessel so that all
probably existing false reflections can be detected.

Proceed as follows:
1 Move from the measured value display to the main
menu by pushing [OK].
2 Select the menu item Service with [–>] and confirm
with [OK]. Now the menu item false echo storage is
displayed.
3 Confirm False echo storage - Change now with [OK]
and select in the below menu Create new. Enter the
actual distance from the sensor to the product
surface. All false echoes in this area are detected by
the sensor and saved after confirming with [OK].
Note:
Check the distance to the product surface as in case of
a wrong (too big) setting, the real level will be saved as
false echo. Hence the level can no longer be detected in
this area.
Additional adjustment and diagnosis options such as e.
g. scaling, simulation or trend curve presentation are
shown in the following menu schematic. You will find a

and when used correctly under the condition that the operator follows the instructions in the documents listed:
Mounting and operating instructions in the Operating Instructions manual
Data and instructions of this manufacturer declaration
Installation regulations
are suitable for use in Zone 2
The max. surface temperature increase* during operation is 18K.
With an ambient temperature of 70°C on the housing and a product temperature of 70°C, the max. surface
temperature* is 88°C during operation.
Measures to maintain the explosion protection during operation:
Permissible operating voltage: Umin. = 14V; Umax. = 36V.
The instrument must be installed and operated in such a way that ignition due to electrostatic charge is not
expected (depending on the version, the antenna, process fitting or the housing are made of electrically nonconductive plastic).
The availability, the perfect quality and the correct position of the seal between the lower part of the housing and
the cover must be ensured; the screws for fastening of the cover must be tightened carefully.
If the instrument is operated with opened cover, the adjustment module PLICSCOM is mounted or its keys are
pushed, it must be ensured that no explosive atmosphere is present.
Make sure that the cable entry is tight and strain-relieved; the outer diameter of the connection cable must be
adapted to the cable entry; the pressure screw of the cable entry must be tightened carefully.
Free openings for cable and cable entries must be covered tightly.
VEGAPULS must be mounted in such a way that contact of the sensor to the vessel wall can be excluded by
taking vessel installations and flow conditions in the vessel into account.
The surface temperature must not exceed the ignition temperature of the concerned explosive atmosphere.
*Single component in the instrument
This instrument was judged by a person meeting the requirements acc. to DIN/EN 60079-14.
