3.2 Principle of operation
VEGAPULS 64 is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of
liquids.
Specialadvantagesresultfromthesmallprocessttingsforsmall
tanks and the very good focussing in applications in large tanks.
This is made possible by the sensor's functional principle: 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.
1 2 3
Fig. 2: Antenna systems VEGAPULS 64

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
viaspecialalgorithmsinthesensorelectronics.Thedeterminedll-
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 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.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
4.2 Mounting versions, plastic horn antenna
The optional mounting strap allows simple mounting of the instrument
on a wall, ceiling or boom. Especially in the case of open vessels, this

Please keep this in mind when mounting or making changes later.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Screened cable generally necessary in HART multidrop mode.
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.

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".
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 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.
Youcanndspecicationsonthepotentialconnectionsinsidethe
instrument in chapter "Technical data".
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

5.8 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 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.

Caution:
Ifliquidswithdierentdielectricconstantsseparateinthevessel,for
example through condensation, the radar sensor can detect under
certain circumstances only the medium with the higher dielectric
constant. Keep in mind that layer interfaces can cause faulty meas-
urements.
If you want to measure the total height of both liquids reliably, please
contact our service department or use an instrument specially de-
signed for interface measurement.
Since the radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, the
distance from the sensor to the product surface is measured. To
indicate the actual level, an allocation of the measured distance to the
percentage height must be carried out.
To perform the adjustment, enter the distance with full and empty ves-
sel, see the following example:

Note:
Check the distance to the product surface, because if an incorrect

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:

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. 39: 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 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:

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

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:
Error Cause Rectication
4 … 20 mA signal not sta-
ble
– Fluctuations of the
measured variable
– Set damping appropriate to the instrument via the
display and adjustment module or PACTware/DTM
4 … 20 mA signal missing – Electrical connection
faulty
– Check connection according to chapter "Connection
steps" and if necessary, correct according to chapter
"Wiring plan"
– Voltage supply missing – Check cables for breaks; repair if necessary
– Operating voltage too
low or load resistance
too high
– Check, adapt if necessary
Current signal greater than
22 mA or less than 3.6 mA
– Electronics module in
the sensor defective
– Exchange the instrument or send it in for repair
The below tables show typical examples of application-related meas-
urementerrorswithliquids.Themeasurementerrorsaredierentiated
according to the following:
• Constant level
• Filling
• Emptying
The images in column "Error pattern" show the real level as a broken
line and the level displayed by the sensor as a continuous line.
