2.8FCC/IC conformity (only for USA/Canada)
The VEGAPULS 67 is limited to use in enclosed metal,
concrete,or fibre-reinforced plastic vessels.
Note about this manual:this manual is intended to be used
internationally.There are figures and illustrations which depict
the use of the device in open air and open-topped tank
environments.These types of installations are not in com-
pliance with FCC/IC approvals.
This VEGAPULS 67 sensor is FCC/IC approved with all of the
antennas described in this operating instructions manual.
Modifications or changes to this device not expressly
approved by VEGA could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
lThe device may not cause harmful interference,and
lThis device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class Adigital device,pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules.These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment.This equipment
generates,uses,and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual,may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions.Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the users will be
required to correct the inference at their own expense.
VEGAPULS 67 •4…20 mA/HART 7
For your safety
32938-EN-080610
The VEGAPULS 67 must be congured pointing downward
inside enclosed metal, concrete, or bre-reinforced plastic
vessels only. Any other use is prohibited.
2.9Safety instructions for Ex areas
Please note the Ex-specific safety information for installation
and operation in Ex areas.These safety instructions are part of
the operating instructions manual and come with the Ex-
approved instruments.
2.10 Manufacturer declaration
In conformity with DIN EN 60079-14/2004,para.5.2.3,point
c1,VEGAPULS 67 is suitable for use in zone 2.
The operator must use the instrument as it was intended to be
used and follow the specifications of the following documents:
lthis operating instructions manual
lthis manufacturer declaration (24626)
lthe applicable installation regulations
Max.increase of the surface temperature during operation:
27 K(individual components in the instrument)
With an ambient temperature of 70 °C(158 °F)on the housing
and a process temperature of 70 °C(158 °F), the max.ambient
temperature during operation is 97 °C(207 °F).
Measures to maintain explosion protection during operation:
lOperate the instrument in the range of the specified
electrical limit values.Permissible supply voltage:see
"Technical data"
lMount and operate the instrument in such a way that no
danger of ignition from electrostatic charges is to be
expected.The antenna,the process fitting or the housing
(as the case may be depending on instrument version)are
made of electrically non-conductive plastic.
lMake sure that the seal is mounted correctly between
lower part of the housing and cover.Screw the cover on
tightly.
lMake sure there is no explosive atmosphere present if you
intend to operate the instrument with opened cover
lMake sure that the cable gland is tight and strain-relieved.
The outer diameter of the connection cable must be
adapted to the cable gland.Tighten the pressure screw of
the cable gland carefully.
lCover unused openings for cable glands tightly
lMount the instrument in such a way that the sensor cannot
touch the vessel wall or vessel installations.Keep in mind
the influence of product movement in the vessel.

3.2Principle of operation
VEGAPULS 67 is a radar sensor in K-band technology for
continuous level measurement in solids.
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with
a duration of approx.1ns.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.
Two-wire electronics 4…20 mA/HART for power supply and
measured value transmission over the same cable.
The supply voltage range can differ depending on the
instrument version.
Data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical
data".
The backlight of the indicating and adjustment module is
powered by the sensor.The prerequisite for this is a supply
voltage at a certain level.The exact voltage specifications are
stated in chapter "Technical data".

The optional heating requires its own power supply.You can
find detailed information in the supplementary instructions
manual "Heating for indicating and adjustment module".This
function is generally not available for approved instruments.
3.3Operation
VEGAPULS 67 can be adjusted with different adjustment
media:
lwith indicating and adjustment module
lwith the suitable VEGA DTM in conjunction with an
adjustment software according to the FDT/DTM standard,
e.g.PACTware™and PC
lwith manufacturer-specific adjustment programs AMS™or
PDM
lWith a HART handheld
The entered parameters are generally saved in VEGAPULS
67,optionally also in the indicating and adjustment module or
in PACTware™.
3.4Packaging,transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.
Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured
by a test according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environ-
ment-friendly,recyclable cardboard.For special versions,PE
foam or PE foil is also used.Dispose of the packaging material
via specialised recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes
on the transport packaging.Nonobservance of these instruc-
tions can cause damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible
transit damage immediately at receipt.Ascertained transit
damage or concealed defects must be appropriately dealt
with.
Up to the time of installation,the packages must be left closed
and stored according to the orientation and storage markings
on the outside.
Unless otherwise indicated,the packages must be stored only
under the following conditions:

4Mounting
4.1General instructions
Select an installation position you can easily reach for
mounting and connecting as well as later retrofitting of an
indicating and adjustment module.The housing can be rotated
by 330°without the use of any tools.You can also install the
indicating and adjustment module in four different positions
(each displaced by 90°).
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to
power supply")and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against
moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down-
ward in front of the cable entry.Rain and condensation water
can thus drain off.This applies mainly to outdoor mounting as
well as installation in areas where high humidity is expected (e.
g.through cleaning processes)or on cooled or heated
vessels.

The reference plane for the measuring range of the sensors is
