General safety instructions
Inappropriate or incorrect use of this product
can give rise to application-specific hazards,
e.g. vessel overfill through incorrect mounting or
adjustment. Damage to property and persons or
environmental contamination can result. Also,
the protective characteristics of the instrument
can be impaired.
This is a state-of-the-art instrument complying
with all prevailing regulations and directives. The
instrument must only be operated in a technically flawless and reliable condition. The operator is responsible for the trouble-free operation
of the instrument. When measuring aggressive
or corrosive media that can cause a dangerous
situation if the instrument malfunctions, the
operator has to implement suitable measures to
make sure the instrument is functioning properly.
During the entire duration of use, the user is
obliged to determine the compliance of the
necessary occupational safety measures with
the current valid rules and regulations and also
take note of new regulations.
The safety instructions in this operating
instructions manual, the national installation
standards as well as the valid safety regulations

Radio license for South
Africa
The instrument was released by the ICASA
under the certificate number TA 2017-1763.
2.10 Security concept, Bluetooth
operation
Sensor adjustment via Bluetooth is based on a
multi-stage security concept.
Authentication
When starting Bluetooth communication, an authentication is carried out between sensor and
adjustment device by means of the sensor PIN.
The sensor PIN is part of the respective sensor
and must be entered in the adjustment device
(smartphone/tablet). To increase adjustment
convenience, this PIN is stored in the adjustment device. This process is secured via an
algorithm acc. to standard SHA 256.
25
3 Product description
Protection against incorrect entries
In case of multiple incorrect PIN entries in the
adjustment device, further entries are possible
only after a certain amount of time has passed.
Encrypted Bluetooth communication
The sensor PIN as well as the sensor data
are transmitted encrypted between sensor
and adjustment device according to Bluetooth
standard 4.0.
2.11 Environmental instructions
Protection of the environment is one of our most
important duties. That is why we have introduced an environment management system with
the goal of continuously improving company
environmental protection. The environment
management system is certified according to

Principle of operation
Application area
The radar sensor VEGAPULS WL S 61 is the
ideal sensor for typical applications in the
water and waste water industry. It is particularly
suitable for level measurement in water treatment, in pump stations as well as storm water
overflow tanks. The flood-proof IP 68 housing of
VEGAPULS WL S 61 ensures a maintenancefree permanent operation. An integrated
Bluetooth module enables the wireless communication with smartphone, tablet or PC.
54408-01-180605
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 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 appropriate output signal and outputted as
measured value.
3.3
Adjustment
Wireless adjustment
The adjustment of VEGAPULS WL S 61 is
carried out via standard adjustment instruments:

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
based on ISO 4180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists
of environment-friendly, recyclable cardboard.
For special versions, PE foam or PE foil is also
used. Dispose of the packaging material via
specialised recycling companies.
Transport
Transport must be carried out in due 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 appropriately dealt with.
Storage
Up to the time of installation, the packages
27

When the instrument is shipped, the measured
value memory is active and stores distance,
measurement reliability 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.

Echo curve memory
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 measurement conditions during operation or buildup
on the sensor can thus be recognized. The echo
curve of the setup is stored via:
•
•
•
PC with PACTware/DTM
Control system with EDD
Display and adjustment module
Further echo curves: Up to 10 echo curves
can be stored in a ring buffer in this memory
section. Additional echo curves are stored via:

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 there are more detailed
error messages available under the menu item
"Diagnostics" via app or PACTware/DTM.
Status messages
The status messages are divided into the
following categories:
•
•
•
•
Failure

8 Diagnosis, asset management and service
Failure: Due to a malfunction in the instrument,
a fault message is outputted.
Function check: The instrument is being
worked on, the measured value is temporarily
invalid (for example during simulation).
Out of specification: The measured value is
unreliable because an instrument specification
was exceeded (e.g. electronics temperature).
Maintenance: Due to external influences, the
instrument function is limited. The measurement
is affected, but the measured value is still valid.
Plan in maintenance for the instrument because
a failure is expected in the near future (e.g. due
to buildup).
Information:
The status messages are always active.
It cannot be deactivated by the user.

Rectify faults
Reaction when malfunction occurs
The operator of the system is responsible for
taking suitable measures to rectify faults.
Procedure for fault rectification
The first 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 rectified.
Check the 4 … 20 mA signal
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:
