3.2 Principle of operation
Application area
The version with "Horn antenna ø 40 mm (1.575 in)" is particularly
suitable for small tanks and process vessels for measurement of
virtually all products.
The version with "Horn antenna ø 48 … 95 mm (1.89 … 3.74 in)" is
particularly suitable for storage tanks and process vessels, for
measurement of products such as solvents, hydrocarbons and fuels
under most difficult process conditions.
The version with Parabolic antenna is particularly suitable for
measurement of products with low εr value at great measuring
distances.
The electronics version with increased sensitivity enables the use of
the instrument also in applications with very poor reflective properties
or products with low εr value.
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
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.

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 preparations - Horn antenna
The instrument is also available in versions where the antenna has a
bigger diameter than the process fitting (thread, flange). The antenna
must therefore be disconnected from the process fitting before
mounting. Proceed as follows:
Loosen the hexagon screws (3) on the antenna socket with an
Allen wrench (size 3)
Remove the antenna (4)
36503-EN-100607

4.4 Mounting instructions
Horn and parabolic antenna
The illustrations with the following mounting instructions show a radar
sensor with horn antenna. The mounting instructions apply analogously also to the version with parabolic antenna.
Polarisation plane
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.

Marking hole
When mounting the sensor, keep a distance of at least 200 mm
(7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of
dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However,
these can 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.

(7.87")
Fig. 5: Mounting of the radar sensor on round vessel tops
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.

Fig. 10: Alignment in liquids
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.
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. 11: Cover smooth profiles with deflectors
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. 12: Agitators
Foam generation
Through the action of filling, stirring and other processes in the vessel,
compact foams that damp the emitted signals considerably may form
on the product surface.
If foams are causing measurement errors, the biggest possible radar
antennas, the electronics with increased sensitivity or low frequency
radar sensors (C band) should be used.
As an alternative, sensors with guided microwave can be used. These
are unaffected by foam generation and are best suited for such
applications.
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.

5.1 Preparing the connection
Safety instructions
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Voltage supply
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
If overvoltages are expected, install overvoltage arresters
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 62, 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.
36503-EN-100607
We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART
multidrop mode.
Cable gland ½ NPT
With plastic housing, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed without grease into the threaded insert.
Max. torque for all housings see chapter "Technical data"
VEGAPULS 62 • 4 … 20 mA/HART two-wire
25
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.
Connection procedure
Unscrew the housing cover
If an indicating and adjustment module is installed, remove it by
turning it slightly to the left.
Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.

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/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.
36503-EN-100607
To adapt the sensor to these different measuring conditions, the
selection "Liquid" or "Bulk solid" should be made in this menu item.
VEGAPULS 62 • 4 … 20 mA/HART two-wire
33
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:
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.

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 form
Also the vessel form can influence the measurement apart from the
medium and the application. To adapt the sensor to these measurement conditions, this menu item offers you different options for vessel
bottom and ceiling in case of certain applications.
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.

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.
Setup/Min. adjustment
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.

Prepare the percentage value for editing 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 appropriate distance value in m (corresponding to the
percentage value) for the full vessel. Keep in mind that the max.
level must lie below the min. distance to the antenna edge.
Save settings with [OK]
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.
36503-EN-100607
Proceed as follows:
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].
VEGAPULS 62 • 4 … 20 mA/HART two-wire

6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
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.
Further settings/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 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.
Additonal settings/Sensor length
With radar sensors with standpipe antenna, the sensor length is
already preset in this menu item. When shortening the standpipe
antenna afterwards, this value must be corrected respectively.
Additional settings - Reset
With a reset, all settings despite a few exceptions will be reset. The
exceptions are: PIN, language, lighting, SIL and HART mode.
The following reset functions are available:

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
36503-EN-100607
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".

149A, VEGAMET 381, VEGAMET 391. Common Ex separators are
also usually equipped with a sufficient current limitation resistance. In
such cases, the interface converter can be connected parallel to the
4 … 20 mA cable (in the previous illustration dashed).
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.
36503-EN-100607
Note:
To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you should

9.1 Maintenance
When the device is used correctly, no maintenance is required in
normal operation.
9.2 Measured value and event memory
Measured value memory
The instrument has an integrated measured value memory with time
stamp. Up to 100,000 measured values can be saved in the sensor in
a ringing memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the
respective measured value.
Stored values are for exmaple sensor value, level, current value,
reliability and electronics temperature. The data remain even in case of
voltage interruption.
Via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD, the
requested values and recording conditions are stipulated. Data are
also read our or reset.
Event memory
The instrument has an integrated event memory with time stamp. Up to
500 events which cannot be deleted are stored in the sensor. Each
entry contains date/time, event time, event description and value.
Event types are for example modification of a parameter, status and
error messages as well as switch on and switch off times. The data
remain also in case of voltage interruption.
The data are read out via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control
system with EDD.
Echo curve memory
The instrument has an integrated echo curve memory in which echo
curves can be stored for diagnosis purposes. The echo curves are
stored with date and time as well as the corresponding echo data. The
data remain even in case of voltage interruption. The memory is
divided ito two sections:
Echo curve of the setup: here you can store the echo curve as a
reference during setup. This echo curve can be used for example to
detect changes of the installation conditions or buildup on the antenna.
Echo curve memory: in this memory section up to 10 echo curves
can be stored in the sensor in a ring buffer.

9.3 Status messages
The instrument has a self-monitoring and diagnosis according to
NE 107 and VDI/VDE 2650. The following status messages can be
outputted:
Failure: Due to a malfunction in the instrument, a failure message is
outpuuted. This status message is activated in the delivery status and
cannot be deactivated by the user.
Function check: The instrument is in operation, the measured value is
temporarily invalid (for example during simulation). This status
message is activatedin the delivery status and cannot be deactivated
by the user.
Out of specification: The measured value is unstable because the
instrument specification was exceeded (for example electronics
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
diagnosis under Device status" in the indicating and adjustment
module as well as PACTware/DTM.

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:

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").
