VEGAPULS 62 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire
36503-EN-161221
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
durationofapprox.1ns.Thesepulsesarereectedbytheproduct
and received by the antenna as echoes. The transit 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 appropri-
ate output signal and outputted as measured value.

chapter "Dimensions".
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
measures:
• Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply")
• Tighten the cable gland
• Whenmountinghorizontally,turnthehousingsothatthecable
gland points downward
• Loop the connection cable downward in front of the cable gland
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where humidity is
expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled or heated
vessels.
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process are
suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Processtting
• Process seal
Process conditions are particularly:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasionandmechanicalinuences
Youcannddetailedinformationontheprocessconditionsinchapter
"Technical data" as well as on the type label.
Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection. The dust protection caps do
notprovidesucientprotectionagainstmoisture.

4.3 Mounting instructions
The illustrations with the following mounting instructions show a radar
sensor with horn antenna. The mounting instructions apply analo-
gously also to the version with parabolic antenna.
The emitted radar impulses of the radar sensor are electromagnetic
waves. The polarisation is the direction of the electrical wave compo-
nent.Byturningtheinstrumentintheconnectionangeormounting

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 maintain this distance, you should carry out a false
signal storage during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the
vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating the
false signal storage at a later date with existing buildup.
> 200 mm

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.

Tip:
The instrument is also optionally available with an antenna extension.
The antenna length can be selected (either ex works or later) to allow
the antenna to protrude slightly out of the end of the mounting socket.
Duetotheantennaextensionhowever,disturbingreectionsare
generated in the close-up range. This can lead to an increase in the
requiredminimumdistance,especiallywithpoorlyreectingmedia
such as plastic powder. In practice, a cleanly constructed mounting
socket, if necessary with rounded edges, introduces fewer disturbing
inuencesthananantennaextension.
In liquids, direct the sensor as perpendicular as possible to the prod-
uct surface to achieve optimum measurement results.

The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
otherequipmentorxturescrossthepathoftheradarsignals.
Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spi-
rals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo.
Make sure when planning your measuring point 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.

Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Warning:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage.
• The electrical connection must only be carried out by trained
personnel authorised by the plant operator.
• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed.

• Inuenceofadditionalinstrumentsinthecircuit(seeloadvaluesin
chapter "Technical data")
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, screened cable should
be used.
Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and

We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART multi-
drop mode.
Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.

With plastic housing, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed without grease into the threaded insert.

If screened cable is required, we recommend connecting the cable
screen on both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the screen
should be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The
ground terminal on the outside of the housing must be connected to
the ground potential (with low impedance).
In Ex systems, the grounding is carried out according to the installa-
tion regulations.
In electroplating and CCP systems (cathodic corrosion protection) it
mustbetakenintoaccountthatsignicantpotentialdierencesexist.
This can lead to unacceptably high currents in the cable screen if it is
grounded at both ends.
Information:
Themetallicpartsoftheinstrument(processtting,sensor,concen-
tric tube, etc.) are connected with the internal and external ground
terminal on the housing. This connection exists either directly via
the conductive metallic parts or, in case of instruments with external
electronics, via the screen of the special connection cable.

5.2 Connecting
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface
adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Information:
The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the
electronics. To do this, lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver
and pull it out. When reinserting the terminal block, you should hear it
snap in.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turn-
ing it slightly to the left.
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug
4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry

5.8 Switch-on phase
After connecting the instrument to power supply or after a voltage
recurrence, the instrument carries out a self-check for approx. 30 s:
• Internal check of the electronics
• Indication of the instrument type, hardware and software version,
measurement loop name on the display or PC
• Indication of the status message "F 105 Determine measured
value" on the display or PC
• The output signal jumps to the set fault current
As soon as a plausible measured value is found, the corresponding
current is outputted to the signal cable. The value corresponds to the
actual level as well as the settings already carried out, e.g. factory
setting.

the measurement reliability of the level echo is displayed as dB value.
The measurement reliability equals signal strength minus noise. The
higher the value, the more reliable the measurement. With a function-
ing measurement, the values are > 10 dB.
In this menu item you can simulate measured values via the current
output. This allows the signal path to be tested, e.g. through down-
stream indicating instruments or the input card of the control system.

The "Echo curve" shows the signal strength of the echoes over the
measuring range in dB. The signal strength enables an evaluation of
the quality of the measurement.
The "False signal suppression" displays the saved false echoes (see
menu "Additional settings") of the empty vessel with signal strength in
"dB" over the measuring range.
A comparison of echo curve and false signal suppression allows a
more detailed statement of the reliability.

The function "Echo curve memory" makes it possible to save the echo
curve at the time of setup. This is generally recommended, and it is
absolutely necessary to do this if you want to use the Asset Manage-
ment functions. If possible, the curve should be saved with a low level
in the vessel.

Delete: An already created false signal suppression will be com-
pletely deleted. This is useful if the saved false signal suppression no
longer matches the metrological conditions in the vessel.
Extend: is used to extend an already created false signal suppres-
sion. This is useful if a false signal suppression was carried out with
too high a level and not all false signals could be detected. When
selecting "Extend", the distance to the product surface of the created
false signal suppression is displayed. This value can now be changed

We recommended noting the adjusted data, e.g. in this operating
instructions manual, and archiving them afterwards. They are thus
available for multiple use or service purposes.
If the instrument is equipped with a display and adjustment module,
the data in the sensor can be saved in the display and adjustment
module. The procedure is described in the menu "Additional adjust-
ments" 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 display and ad-
justment module are saved:
• All data of the menu "Setup" and "Display"
• In the menu "Additional settings" the items "Sensor-specicunits,
temperature unit and linearization"
• Thevaluesoftheuserprogrammablelinearizationcurve
The function can also be used to transfer settings from one instru-
ment to another instrument of the same type. If it is necessary to
exchange a sensor, the display and adjustment module is inserted
into the replacement instrument and the data are likewise written into
the sensor via the menu item "Copy sensor data".

9.1 Maintenance
If the instrument is used correctly, no maintenance is required in
normal operation.
9.2 Diagnosis memory
The instrument has several memories which are available for
diagnostic purposes. The data remain there even in case of voltage
interruption.
Up to 100,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring
memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the respective
measured value. Storable values are for example:
• Distance
• Filling height
• Percentage value
• Lin. percent
• Scaled
• Current value
• Meas. certainty
• Electronics temperature
When the instrument is shipped, the measured value memory is
active and stores distance, measurement certainty and electronics
temperature every 3 minutes.
The requested values and recording conditions are set via a PC with
PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. Data are thus read
out and also reset.
Up to 500 events are automatically stored with a time stamp in the
sensor (non-deletable). Each entry contains date/time, event type,
event description and value. Event types are for example:
• Modicationofaparameter
• Switch-onandswitch-otimes
• Status messages (according to NE 107)
• Error messages (according to NE 107)
The data are read out via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control
system with EDD.
The echo curves are stored with date and time and the corresponding
echo data. The memory is divided into two sections:
Echo curve of the setup: This is used as reference echo curve for
the measurement conditions during setup. Changes in the measure-
ment conditions during operation or buildup on the sensor can thus
berecognized.Theechocurveofthesetupisstoredvia:

The instrument features self-monitoring and diagnostics according to
NE 107 and VDI/VDE 2650. In addition to the status messages in the
following tables, detailed error messages are available under menu
item "Diagnostics" via the display and adjustment module, PACTware/
DTM and EDD.
The status messages are divided into the following categories:
• Failure
• Function check
• Outofspecication
• Maintenance requirement
and explained by pictographs:

4 Maintenance - blue
Failure: Due to a malfunction in the instrument, a failure message is
outputted.
This status message is always active. It 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 inactive by default. It can be activated by the
user via PACTware/DTM or EDD.
Outofspecication: The measured value is unstable because the
instrumentspecicationisexceeded(e.g.electronicstemperature).
This status message is inactive by default. It can be activated by the
user via PACTware/DTM or EDD.
Maintenance:Duetoexternalinuences,theinstrumentfunction

9.4 Rectify faults
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-
ures to rectify faults.
Therstmeasuresare:
• Evaluation of fault messages, for example via the display and
adjustment module
• Checking the output signal
• Treatment of measurement errors
Further comprehensive diagnostics options are available with a PC
with PACTware and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the reasons can
bedeterminedinthiswayandfaultsrectied.
Connect a multimeter in the suitable measuring range according to
the wiring plan. The following table describes possible errors in the
current signal and helps to eliminate them:

Notes:
• Wherever the sensor displays a constant value, the reason could
also be the fault setting of the current output to "Hold value"
• If the level indication is too low, the reason could be a line resist-

9.5 Exchanging the electronics module
If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.
In Ex applications, only instruments and electronics modules with ap-
propriate Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, the electronics
module can be ordered through the agency serving you. The electron-
icsmodulesareadaptedtotherespectivesensoranddierinsignal
output or 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, on the inside
of the housing as well as on the delivery note.
Whenloadingonsite,rstofalltheorderdatamustbedownloaded
from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Electronics
module").
Caution:
Alluser-specicsettingsmustbeenteredagain.Hence,youhaveto
