Quick start
2. In the menu item "Medium - Dielectric constant" you can dene the medium type (medium).
3. Carry out the adjustment in the menu items "Min. adjustment" and "Max. adjustment".
4. A "Linearization" is required for all vessels in which the vessel vol-
ume does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. in a horizontal cylindrical or spherical tank. Activate the appropriate curve.
5. A "False signal suppression" detects, marks and saves the false signals so that they are no longer taken into account for level
measurement. We generally recommend a false signal suppres­sion.
Parameterization example
The sensor measures the distance from the sensor (reference plane) to the product surface.
Fig. 3: Measuring ranges - VEGAFLEX 82
1 Reference plane 2 Probe length L 3 Measuring range 4 Upper dead band (in this area no measurement is possible) 5 Lower dead band (in this area no measurement is possible)
For this adjustment, the distance is entered when the vessel is full and nearly empty. If these values are not known, an adjustment with
other distances, for example, 10 % and 90 % is also possible. Starting
point for these distance specications is always the seal surface of the thread or ange.
Further steps
1. In the menu "Additional settings", menu item "Damping" you can adjust the requested damping of the output signal.

3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGAFLEX 82 is a level sensor with cable or rod probe for con­tinuous level measurement, suitable for applications in bulk solids.
High frequency microwave pulses are guided along a steel cable or a rod. Upon reaching the product surface, the microwave pulses are reected. The running time is evaluated by the instrument and output­ted as level.
Probe end tracking
To increase sensitivity, the probe is equipped with probe end tracking. In products with a low dielectric constant, this function is very helpful.
This is the case, for example, in plastic granules, packing chips or in
uidized vessels. Between a dielectric constant of 1.5 and 3, the function switches on, if
required. As soon as the level echo can no longer be detected, probe end tracking is automatically activated. The measurement is contin-
ued with the last calculated dielectric constant.
The accuracy thus depends on the stability of the dielectric constant.
If you measure a medium with a dielectric constant below 1.5, probe end tracking is always active. In this case, you have to enter the dielectric constant of the medium. A stable dielectric constant is very
important here.

4.1 General instructions
With instruments with threaded process tting, 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
Protective caps
Suitability for the process conditions
Installation position
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 o. This ap­plies mainly to:
outdoor mounting
•
installations in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through
•
cleaning processes)
installations on cooled or heated vessels
•
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 openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red protec­tive caps as transport protection.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap­proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
The suitable cable glands and blind plugs come with the instrument.
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in
particular the active measuring component, process seal and process tting, 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 nd the specications in chapter "Technical data" and on the
nameplate.
4.2 Instructions for installation
Mount VEGAFLEX 82 in such a way that the distance to vessel instal­lations or to the vessel wall is at least 300 mm (12 in). In non-metallic vessels, the distance to the vessel wall should be at least 500 mm
(19.7 in).
During operation, the probe must not touch any installations or the
vessel wall. If necessary, fasten the probe end. In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
nearly down to the lowest point of the bottom. Keep in mind that measurement all the way down to the tip of the probe may not be pos-

sible. The exact value of the min. distance (lower dead band) is stated
in chapter "Technical data".
Fig. 5: Vessel with conical bottom
Type of vessel
Plastic vessel/Glass vessel
The guided microwave principle requires a metal surface on the pro­cess tting. Therefore use in plastic vessels etc. an instrument version with ange (from DN 50) or place a metal sheet (ø > 200 mm/8 in) beneath the process tting when screwing it in.
Make sure that the plate has direct contact with the process tting. When installing rod or cable probes without metal vessel wall, e.g.
in plastic vessels, the measured value can be inuenced by strong electromagnetic elds (emitted interference according to EN 61326:
class A).
Use a probe in coax version for applications in liquids.

Socket
If possible, avoid sockets. Mount the sensor ush with the vessel top.
If this is not possible, use short sockets with small diameter.
Higher sockets or sockets with a bigger diameter can generally be used. They simply increase the upper blocking distance. Check if this
is relevant for your measurement.
In such cases, always carry out a false signal suppression after instal-
lation. You can nd further information under "Setup procedure".

Measuring range
Before beginning the welding work, remove the electronics module from the sensor. By doing this, you avoid damage to the electronics through inductive coupling.
Do not mount the instruments in or above the lling stream. Make sure that you detect the product surface, not the inowing product.

The reference plane for the measuring range of the sensors is the
sealing surface of the thread or ange.
Keep in mind that a min. distance must be maintained below the refer­ence plane and possibly also at the end of the probe - measurement in these areas is not possible (dead band). The length of the cable
can be used all the way to the end only when measuring conductive

od extensions
The process tting must be sealed if there is gauge or low pressure in
the vessel. Before use, check if the seal material is resistant against
the measured product and the process temperature.
The max. permissible pressure is specied in chapter "Technical data" or on the type label of the sensor.
If there is a danger of the cable probe touching the vessel wall during operation due to product movements or agitators etc., the measuring probe should be securely xed.
In the gravity weight there is an internal thread (M12), e.g. for an eye-
bolt (optional) - (article no. 2.27423).
Make sure that the probe cable is not completely taut. Avoid tensile
loads on the cable.
Avoid undened vessel connections, i.e. the connection must be either grounded reliably or isolated reliably. Any undened change of
this requirement can lead to measurement errors.
In case of dicult installation conditions, for example in a socket, the probe can be adapted respectively with a rod extension.
Let the probe length determine automatically by the instrument to compensate the resulting running time changes.
You can nd further information in the supplementary instructions of
the rod extension.

Safety instructions
5 Connecting to power supply
5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
•
If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
•
be installed
Voltage supply via mains voltage
Voltage supply via low voltage
Connection cable
In this case, the instrument is designed in protection class II. To main­tain this protection class, it is absolutely necessary that the ground conductor be connected to the internal ground terminal. Take note of the general installation regulations.
Supply voltage and current signal are carried on separate connection cables if reliable separation is required. The supply voltage range can dier depending on the instrument version.
The data for power supply are specied in chapter "Technical data".
In this case, the instrument is designed in protection class II. Gener-
ally connect the instrument to vessel ground (potential equalization) or with plastic vessels to the next ground potential. For this purpose, a
ground terminal is located laterally on the instrument housing.
An approved, three-wire installation cable with PE conductor is required for voltage supply with mains voltage.
The 4 … 20 mA current output 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.
For instruments with housing and cable gland, use cable with round
cross-section. To ensure the seal eect of the cable gland (IP protec­tion rating), you have to check for which cable outer diameter the
cable gland is suitable.
5 … 9 mm (0.20 … 0.35 in)
•
6 … 12 mm (0.24 … 0.47 in)
•
10 … 14 mm (0.40 … 0.55 in)
•
Use a cable gland tting the cable diameter.
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".
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 eect against high frequency interfer-
ence signals remains.
Warning:
Signicant potential dierences exist inside galvanization plants as well as on vessels with cathodic corrosion protection. Considerable equalisation currents can ow over the cable screen if the screen is
grounded on both ends. To avoid this in such applications, the cable screen must be connect-
ed to ground potential only at one end (in the switching cabinet). The cable screen must not be connected to the internal ground terminal in the sensor and the outer ground terminal on the housing must not be connected to the potential equalisation!
Information:
The metallic parts of the instrument (process tting, transmitter, con­centric tube, etc.) are conductively connected with the inner and outer
ground terminal on the housing. This connection exists either directly
via connecting 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 Connection
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
The connection to the display and adjustment module or to the inter-
face 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 inserting the terminal block again, you should hear it snap in.
Connection procedure
41830-EN-130314
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing cover
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 entry
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

Fig. 11: Connection steps 5 and 6
6. Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan
Information:
Solid cores as well as exible cores with wire end sleeves are inserted directly into the terminal openings. In case of exible cores without end sleeves, press the terminal head with a small screwdriver; the terminal opening is freed. When the screwdriver is released, the
terminal closes again.
You can nd further information on the max. wire cross-section under
"Technical data/Electromechanical data"
7. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on them
8. Connect the screen to the internal ground terminal, connect the outer ground terminal to potential equalisation
9. Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry. The seal ring must completely encircle the cable
10. Place probably existing display and adjustment module back on
11. Screw the housing cover back on
The electrical connection is hence nished.

5.4 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 error 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.
