3.2 Principle of operation
Application area
A special version of VEGAPULS 66 is available for each area of
application. The version with Horn antenna is particularly suitable for
measurement of liquids and solids under extremely diﬃcult process
conditions such as buildup, condensate and foam generation as well
as vigorous product movement.
With the version without antenna, the antenna system is formed in
conjunction with a measuring tube (surge or bypass tube). This version
is particularly suitable for measurement of solvents and liquid gases.
Functional 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.
3.3 Packaging, transport and storage
Packaging
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 environmentfriendly, 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 instructions can cause
damage to the device.
Transport inspection
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or
concealed defects must be reported.
Storage
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.

4.1 General instructions
Screwing in
With instruments with threaded process ﬁtting, suitable tools must be
applied for tightening the hexagon.
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
Moisture
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 downward 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.
Suitability for the process conditions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in
particular the antenna, seal and process ﬁtting, are suitable for the
existing process conditions. These include above all the process
pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical properties of
the medium.
You can ﬁnd the speciﬁcations in chapter "Technical data" or on the
type label.
4.2 Mounting instructions
The emitted radar impulses of the radar sensor are electromagnetic
waves. The polarisation level is the direction of the electrical wave
component. By turning the instrument in the connection ﬂange or
mounting boss, the polarisation can be used to reduce the eﬀects of
false echoes.

The position of the polarisation plane is marked on the process ﬁtting
of the instrument.

Mounting position
Marking hole
When mounting the VEGAPULS 66, keep a distance of at least
500 mm (19.69 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the
center of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise.
These can, however, be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment
(see chapter "Setup").
If you cannot keep this distance you should carry out a false echo
storage before setup. This applies mainly if buildup on the vessel wall
is expected. In this case, we recommend repeating a false echo
storage later with existing buildup.

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 point of the vessel bottom.

Do not mount the instruments in or above the ﬁlling stream. Make sure
that you detect the product surface, not the inﬂowing product.

Orientation of the sensor
Align the sensor in liquids as vertical as possible to the product surface
to achieve optimum measurement.
Fig. 8: Alignment in liquids
36519-EN-100602
Vessel installations
The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
other equipment or ﬁxtures cross the path of the microwave signals.
Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating
spirals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo.
Make sure when planning your measuring site that the radar sensor
has a "clear view" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage should be
carried out during setup.
VEGAPULS 66 • 4 … 20 mA/HART two-wire
15
4 Mounting
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 prevent direct interfering reﬂections.
Fig. 9: Cover smooth proﬁles with deﬂectors
Agitators
If there are agitators in the vessel, a false echo storage 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. 10: Agitators
Foam generation
Through the action of ﬁlling, stirring and other processes in the vessel,
dense foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may form
on the product surface.
As an alternative, sensors with guided microwave can be used. These
are unaﬀected by foam generation and are best suited for such
applications.
16
VEGAPULS 66 • 4 … 20 mA/HART two-wire

If foams are causing measurement errors, the biggest possible radar
antenna should be used.

Measurement in a surge
pipe
When using a surge pipe in a vessel, inﬂuences from vessel
installations and turbulences can be excluded. Under these prerequisites, the measurement of products with low dielectric values (εr
value ≥ 1.6) is possible. In very adhesive products, measurement in a
surge pipe is not recommended.

aligned and accurately joined together
Gap size with junctions ≤ 0.1 mm
Do not weld through the pipe wall. The surge pipe must remain
smooth inside. Roughness and beads on the inside caused by
unintentional penetration should be removed since they cause
strong false echoes and encourage buildup
Surge pipes must extend all the way down to the requested min.
level, as measurement is only possible within the tube.
Diameter of holes ≤ 5 mm, any number OK, on one side or
completely through
The antenna diameter of the sensor should correspond to the
inner diameter of the tube
Diameter should be constant over the complete length
An alternative to measurement in a surge pipe is measurement in a

Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire
cable. The voltage supply range can diﬀer depending on the
instrument version.
The data for power supply are speciﬁed in chapter "Technical data".
Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the mains
circuits according to DIN VDE 0106 part 101.
Keep in mind the following additional inﬂuences on the operating
voltage:
Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under
nominal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of
fault message)
Inﬂuence of additional instruments in the circuit (see load values in
chapter "Technical data")
Connection to signal
conditioning instruments
The signal conditioning instruments VEGAMET and VEGASCAN have
digital sensor recognition. When connecting VEGAPULS 66, an up-todate software version of the signal conditioning instrument is required
for the signal conditioning instrument. For a software update go to
"Software" under "www.vega.com/downloads".
Connection cable
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should be
used.
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm
(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal eﬀect of the cable gland. If you are
using cable with a diﬀerent diameter or cross-section, exchange the
seal or use a suitable cable gland.
We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART
multidrop mode.
With plastic housing, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed without grease into the threaded insert.

5 Connecting to power supply
Cable screening and
grounding
If screened cable is necessary, 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 on the
outside of the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation
(low impedance).
If potential equalisation currents are expected, the connection on the
processing 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.
Warning:
Within galvanic plants as well as vessels with cathodic corrosion
protection there are considerable potential diﬀerences. Considerably
equalisation currents can be caused via the cable scrren when the
screen is earthed on both ends. To avoid this, the cable screen must
only connected to ground potential on one side of the switching
cabinet in such applications. The cable screen must not be connected
to the internal ground terminal in the sensor and the outer ground
terminal on the housing not to the potential equalisation!
Information:
The metal parts of the instrument (antenna, transmitter, concentric
tube, etc.) are conductive connected with the inner and outer ground
terminal on the housing. This connection exists either directly metallic
or with instruments with external electronics via the screen of the
special connection cable. You can ﬁnd speciﬁcations to the potential
connections within the instrument in chapter "Technical data".
5.2 Connection
Connection technology
The connection of the voltage supply and the signal output is carried
out via the spring-loaded terminals in the housing.
The connection to the indicating and adjustment module or to the
interface adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.

6.3 Parameter adjustment
With the parameter adjustment, the instrument is adapted to the
application conditions. The parameter adjustment is carried out via an
adjustment menu.
Information:
In this operating instructions manual, the instrument-speciﬁc parameters are described. Further general parameters are described in the
operating instructions manual "Indicating and adjustment module".
Main menu
The main menu is divided into ﬁve areas with the following functions:
Setup: Settings, for example, to measurement loop name, medium,
application, vessel, adjustment, signal output
Display: Language setting, settings for the measured value indication
as well as lighting
Diagnosis: Information, for example to the instrument status, pointer,
reliability, simulation, echo curve
Further settings: Unit, false signal suppression, linearisation curve,
reset, date/time, reset, HART mode
Info: Instrument name, hardware and software version, calibration
date, instrument features
In the main menu point "Setup", the individual submenu points should
be selected subsequently and provided with the correct parameters to
ensure the optimum adjustment of the measurement. The procedure is
described in the following.
Setup
Setup
Setup/Medium
Each medium has diﬀerent reﬂection properties. With liquids, further
interfering factors are ﬂuctuation product surface and foam generation.
With bulk solids, these are dust generation, material cone and
additional echoes from the vessel wall.
To adapt the sensor to these diﬀerent measuring conditions, the
selection "Liquid" or "Bulk solid" should be made in this menu item.

VEGAPULS 66 • 4 … 20 mA/HART two-wire
6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
Through this selection, the sensor is adapted perfectly to the product
and measurement reliability, particularly in products with poor
reﬂective properties, is considerably increased.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.
Setup/Application
In addition to the medium, also the application or the application place
can inﬂuence the measurement.
With this menu item, the sensor can be adapted to the applications.
The adjustment possibilities depend on the selection "Liquid" or "Bulk
solid" under "Medium".
The following options are available when "Liquid" was selected:
36519-EN-100602
Caution:
If in the vessel, there is a separation of liquids with diﬀerent εr value, for
example by condensation, the radar sensor can detect under certain
circumstances only the medium with the higher dielectric value. Keep
in mind that interfaces can cause faulty measurements.
If you want to measure the total height of both liquids reliably, please
contact our service department or use an instrument specially
designed for interface measurement.

6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
The selection "Standpipe" opens a new window in which the inner
diameter of the applied standpipe is entered.
The following options are available when "Bulk solid" is selected:
Through this selection, the sensor is adapted optimally to the
application or the location and measurement reliability under the
various basic conditions is increased considerably.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.
Setup/Vessel height,
measuring range
With this selection, the operating range of the sensor is adapted to the
vessel height and the reliability with diﬀerent frame conditions is
increased considerably.
Independent from this, the min. adjustment must be carried out.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.

6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.
Setup/Adjustment
As a radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, the distance
from the sensor to the product surface is measured. To have the real
product level displayed, an allocation of the measured distance to the
percentage height must be made. To carry out this adjustment, the
distance is entered with full and empty vessel. If these values are not
known, an adjustment with the distance values, e.g. 10 % and 90 % is
also possible. Starting point for these distance speciﬁcations is always
the seal surface of the thread or ﬂange. By means of these settings,
the real level is calculated.
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.
36519-EN-100602
Setup/Min. adjustment
Proceed as follows:
Select the menu item "Setup" with [->] and conﬁrm with [OK]. Now
select with [->] the menu item "Min. adjustment" and conﬁrm with
[OK].
Edit the percentage value with [OK] and set the cursor to the
requested position with [->].
Set the requested percentage value with [+] and save with [OK].
The cursor jumps now to the distance value.
Enter the suitable distance value in m for the empty vessel (e.g.
distance from the sensor to the vessel bottom) corresponding to
the percentage value.
Save settings with [OK] and move with [ESC] and [->] to the max.
adjustment.

Further settings
Further settings/False signal suppression
The following circumstances cause interfering reﬂections and can
inﬂuence the measurement:
High sockets
Vessel installations such as struts
Agitators
Buildup or welded joints on vessel walls
Note:
A false signal suppression detects, marks and saves these false
signals so that they are no longer taken into account for level
measurement.
This should be done with a low level so that possible interfering
reﬂections can be detected.
Proceed as follows:
34
Select the menu item "Additional settins" with [->] and conﬁrm with
[OK]. With [->] you have to select the menu item "False signal
suppression" and conﬁrm with [OK].

Conﬁrm again with [OK].
Conﬁrm again with [OK] and select with [->] "Create new".
Conﬁrm again with [OK] and enter the actual distance from the
sensor to the product surface.
All interfering signals in this section are detected by the sensor
and stored after conﬁrming with [OK].
Note:
Check the distance to the product surface, because if an incorrect (too
large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as false signal.
The ﬁlling level would then no longer be detectable in this area.
A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. in a horizontal cylindrical
or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is
required. 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 also set in the menu item "Display".

Caution:
If the instrument is used as part of an overﬁll protection system
according to WHG (Water Resources Act), please note the following:
If a linearisation curve is selected, the measuring signal is no longer
compulsorily linear proportional to the level. This must be taken into
consideration by the user, particularly when adjusting the switching
point on the level switch.

6.4 Saving the parameter adjustment data
It is recommended noting the adjusted data, e.g. in this operating
instructions manual and archive them afterwards. They are hence
available for multiple use or service purposes.
If the instrument is equipped with an indicating and adjustment
module, the data in the sensor can be saved in the indicating and
adjustment module. The procedure is described in the operating
instructions manual "Indicating and adjustment module" in the menu
item "Copy sensor data". The data remain there permanently even if
the sensor power supply fails.
The following data or settings for adjustment of the indicating and
adjustment module are saved:
All data of the menu "Setup" and "Display"
In the menu "Additional settings" the items "Distance unit,
temperature unit and linearization"
The values of the user programmable linearization curve
The function can be also used to transfer settings from one instrument
to another instrument of the same type. If it is necessary to exchange a
sensor, then the indicating and adjustment module is inserted into the
replacement instrument and the data are also written into the sensor
via the menu item "Copy sensor data".

7.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware
Prerequisites
As an alternative to the indicating and adjustment module, the sensor
can also be conﬁgured via a Windows PC. For this purpose, the
conﬁguration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver
(DTM) according to the FDT standard are required. The actual
PACTware version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a
DTM Collection. Furthermore the DTMs can be integrated in other
frame applications according to the FDT standard.
Note:
To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you should
always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not all described
functions are included in older ﬁrmware versions. The latest instrument
software can be also downloaded from our homepage. A description of
the update procedure is also available in the Internet.

temperature). This status messae is deactivated in the delivery status
and must be activated via PACTware/DTM and PC.
Maintenance: Due to external inﬂuences, the instrument function is
limited. The measurement is inﬂuence, however the measured value is
still valid. Plan instrument for maintenance because failure must be
expected in the near future (for example due to buildup). This status
message is activated in the delivery status and must be activated via
PACTware/DTM and PC.
Error codes and text messages are dispayed via the indicating and
adjustment module, PACTware/DTM as well as EDD in the control
system. Information to the error statstics is displayed in the menu

9.4 Rectify malfunctions
Reaction when malfunctions occur
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measures
to remove interferences.
Fault rectiﬁcation
The ﬁrst measures to be taken are to check the output signal as well as
to evaluate the error messages via the indicating and adjustment
module. Further comprehensive diagnostics can be carried out on a
PC with the software PACTware and the suitable DTM. In many cases,
the causes can be determined this way and faults rectiﬁed.
Checking the 4 … 20 mA
signal
Connect a handmultimeter in the suitable measuring range according
to the wiring plan. The following table describes possible errors in the
current signal and helps to remove them:

24 hour service hotline
However, should these measures not be successful, call the VEGA
service hotline in urgent cases under the phone no. +49 1805 858550.
The hotline is available to you 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since
we oﬀer this service world-wide, the support is only available in the
English language. The service is free of charge, only the standard
telephone costs will be charged.
9.5 Exchanging the electronics module
If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.
In Ex applications only one instrument and one electronics module with
respective Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, the electronics
module can be ordered via the agent serving you. The electronics
modules are adapted to the respective sensor and diﬀer in the signal
output or the voltage supply.
The new electronics module must be loaded with the default settings
of the sensor. These are the options:
In the factory
Or on site by the user
In both cases, the serial number of the sensor is needed. The serial
numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument, inside the
housing as well as on the delivery note.
When loading on site, ﬁrst of all the order data must be downloaded
from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Oscillator").
9.6 Software update
The following components are required to update the sensor software:

Caution:
Keep in mind that a software update can lead to expiry of the
approvals. You can ﬁnd detailed information on our homepage www.
vega.com.
Load sensor software to
PC
At "www.vega.com/downloads" go to "Software". Select under "plics
sensors and instruments" the respective instrument series and
software version. Load the zip ﬁle via the right mouse key with "Save
target as" e.g. on the desktop of your PC. Extract all ﬁles available in
the zip ﬁle, e.g. to the desktop.
Prepare update
Connect the sensor to power supply and provide connection from the
PC to the instrument via the interface adapter. Start PACTware and
move via the menu Project to the VEGA project assistant. Select
"USB" and "Set instruments online". Provide connection to the sensor
via "Start" until the message "Search complete" is displayed.
Load software into sensor
Move in the PACTware menu bar to "Instrument data", "Additional
functions" and "Software update". PACTware now checks the actual
hardware and software version of the sensor and displays the data.
This process takes approx. 60 s.
Push the button "Update software" and select the previously extracted
XML ﬁle. Then the software update can be started. The additional ﬁles
are installed automatically. Depending on the sensor, this procedure
lasts approximately 15 min.

Inﬂuence of the superimposed gas and pressure to the accuracy
The spreading speed of the radar impulses in gas or vapour above the medium is reduced by high
pressures. This eﬀect depends on the superimposed gas or vapour and is especially large at low
temperatures.
The following table shows the resulting deviation for some typical gases and vapours. The
speciﬁed values refer to the distance. Positive values mean that the measured distance is too high,
