3.2 Principle of operation

The VEGAPULS 69 is a radar sensor for continuous level measure-

mentofbulksolidsevenunderthemostdicultprocessconditions

and in very large measuring ranges.

Itisidealforuseinhigh,slendersiloswithpoorlyreectingbulksolids

suchasy-ash,plasticgranulesorwoodchipsaswellasinternal

installations that cause strong false echoes. This is made possible by

its functional principle, a distance measurement through frequency

shifting with an especially small beam angle.

Theinstrumentisavailablewithdierentantennasystemsandacces-

sories for virtually all applications and processes:

• Plastic horn antenna or metal-jacketed lens antenna

• Optional or integrated rinsing air connection

• Swivelling holder with seal against the process

The instrument emits a continuous radar signal through its antenna.

This signal is frequency modulated in the form of a sawtooth wave.

Theemittedsignalisreectedbythemediumandreceivedbythe

antenna as an echo.

The frequency of the received signal always deviates from the actual

emittingfrequency.Thefrequencydierenceisproportionaltothe

distanceandthustothellingheight.Thisdierenceiscalculated

ing height is then converted into a corresponding output signal and

outputted as the measured value.

4.1 General instructions

Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following

measures:

• Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connectingtopower

supply")

• Tighten the cable gland

• Loop the connection cable downward in front of the cable gland

This applies particularly to:

• Outdoor mounting

• Installations in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through

cleaning processes)

• Installations 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 in particular are:

• 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.

Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-

proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.

The mounting position and orientation of the sensor must take into ac-

count the limitations in chapter "For your safety", "Radio approval for

USA" "RadioapprovalforCanada" of this operating instructions.

In order to measure as much of the vessel volume as possible, the

sensor should be aligned so that the radar signal reaches the lowest

level in the vessel. In a cylindrical silo with conical outlet, the sensor is

mounted anywhere from one third to one half of the vessel radius from

the outside wall (see following drawing).

Example:

In a vessel 20 m high, the installation position of the sensor is 1.4 m

from the vessel centre.

The necessary angle of inclination of 4° can be read out from this

table.

Proceed as follows to adjust the angle of inclination with the swivelling

holder:

1. Loosen the terminal screws of the swivel holder by one turn. Use

ahexagonsocketwrench,size5.

Fig.16:VEGAPULS69withswivellingholder

1 Terminalscrews(6pcs.)

2. Align the sensor, check angle of inclination

Information:

The max. angle of inclination of the swivelling holder is approx. 10°

3. Re-tighten the terminal screws, max. torque see chapter "Techni-

cal data".

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 signal suppression

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.

Large material heaps are best measured with several instruments,

which can be mounted on e.g. traverse cranes. For this type of ap-

plication it is advantageous to orient the sensor perpendicular to the

bulk solid surface.

Thesensorsdonotinuenceeachother.

Information:

Keep in mind that for these applications, the sensors are designed

for relatively slow level changes. If the sensor is used on a movable

boom, the max. measuring rate must be observed (see chapter

"Technicaldata").

Instruments for a temperature range up to 200° C have a spacer

betweenprocessttingandelectronicshousing.Thisspacerisused

to thermally decouple the electronics from the high process tempera-

tures.

Information:

The spacer may only be incorporated up to a maximum of 50 mm into

the vessel insulation. Only then is a reliable temperature decoupling

guaranteed.

To avoid heavy buildup and dust on the antenna, the sensor should

not be mounted close to the dust exhauster inside the vessel.

To protect the sensor against buildup, particularly in case of strong

condensation, air rinsing is recommended.

5.1 Preparing the connection

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.

Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire

cable.Theoperatingvoltagecandierdependingontheinstrument

version.

Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technicaldata".

Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the

mains circuits according to DIN EN 61140 VDE 0140-1.

Keepinmindthefollowingadditionalfactorsthatinuencetheoperat-

ing voltage:

• Lower output voltage of the power supply unit under nominal load

(e.g. with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault)

• 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

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.

Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-

proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.

On plastic housings, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube

must be screwed into the threaded insert without grease.

Max. torque for all housings, see chapter "Technicaldata".

If screened cable is required, the cable screen must be connected on

both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the screen is connected

directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the

outside of the housing must be connected to the ground potential (low

impedance).

In Ex systems, the grounding is carried out according to the installa-

tion regulations.

In electroplating plants as well as plants for cathodic corrosion protec-

tion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.

Youcanndspecicationsonthepotentialconnectionsinsidethe

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

5.9 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.

Vessel height/Measuring range:

The VEGAPULS 69 is a bulk solids radar sensor for high, slender

vessels. It covers a measuring range up to 120 m. This menu item lets

you limit the active measuring range in which the instrument searches

for level echoes.

Information:

The min. adjustment must be carried out independently of this.

The following features form the basis of the applications:

Silo (slender and high):

• Vessel of metal: weld joints

• Process/measurement conditions:

– Filling aperture too close to the sensor

– System noise in completely empty silo increased

• Properties, sensor:

– Stable measured values through higher averaging

– False signal suppression during setup recommended, required

for automatic false signal suppression

– Automaticfalsesignalsuppressionwithpartlylledvessel1)

Bunker (large-volume):

• Vessel of concrete or metal:

– Structured vessel walls

– Installations present

• Process/measurement conditions:

– Large distance to the medium

– Large angles of repose

• Properties, sensor:

– Mean averaging

– High measured value jumps are accepted

Bunkerwithfastlling:

• Vessel of concrete or metal, also multiple chamber silo:

– Structured vessel walls

– Installations present

• Process/measurement conditions:

– Measured value jumps, e.g. through truck loading

andstoredafterconrming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 a false

signal. The level would then no longer be detectable in this area.

If a false signal suppression has already been saved in the sensor,

the following menu window appears when selecting "False signal

suppression":

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

In this menu item you specify the HART mode and enter the address

for multidrop mode.

In the mode "Fixed current output" up to 63 sensors can be operated

on one two-wire cable (Multidrop operation). An address between 0

and 63 must be assigned to each sensor.

If you select the function "Analogue current output", a 4 … 20 mA

signal is output in multidrop mode.

In this menu item, you can read out the instrument name and the

instrument serial number:

In this menu item, the hardware and software version of the sensor is

displayed.

In this menu item, the date of factory calibration of the sensor as well

as the date of the last change of sensor parameters are displayed via

the display and adjustment module or via the PC.

In this menu item, the features of the sensor such as approval, pro-

cesstting,seal,measuringrange,electronics,housingandothers

are displayed.

6.6 Saving the parameterisation data

We recommended writing down the adjustment data, e.g. in this op-

erating 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 menu item "Copydevice

settings" in the menu "Additional settings". 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"

Info - Instrument name

Info - Instrument version

Info - Factory calibration

date

Info - Sensor character-

istics

Backup on paper

Backup in the display and

adjustment module

6 Set up with the display and adjustment module

• The items "Sensor-specicunits,temperatureunitandlinearisa-

tion" in the menu "Additional settings".

• The values of the user-programmable linearisation 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devicesettings".

7.2 Parameter adjustment

For parameter adjustment of the instrument via a Windows PC, the

congurationsoftwarePACTwareandasuitableinstrumentdriver

(DTM) according to FDT standard are required. The latest PACTware

version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a DTM Collec-

tion. The DTMs can also be integrated into other frame applications

according to 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rmwareversions.Youcandownload

the latest instrument software from our homepage. A description of

the update procedure is also available in the Internet.

Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions manu-

al "DTMCollection/PACTware" attached to each DTM Collection and

which can also be downloaded from the Internet. Detailed descrip-

tions are available in the online help of PACTware and the DTMs.

Fig.46:ExampleofaDTMview

All device DTMs are available as a free-of-charge standard version

and as a full version that must be purchased. In the standard version,

all functions for complete setup are already included. An assistant for

9.1 Maintenance

If the instrument is used correctly, no maintenance is required in

normal operation.

Insomeapplications,buildupontheantennasystemcaninuence

the measuring result. Depending on the sensor and application, take

measures to avoid heavy soiling of the antenna system. If necessary,

clean the antenna system in certain intervals.

9.2 Measured value and event memory

The instrument has several memories available for diagnostic pur-

poses. 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:

9.3 Asset Management function

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:

The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-

ures to rectify faults.

Therstmeasuresare:

• Evaluation of fault messages via the adjustment device

• 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:
