3.2 Princi
ple of operation
VEGAPULS 61 is a radar sensor in K-band (emitting frequency
approx. 26 GHz) for continuous level measurement.
The version with encapsulated antenna system is particularly
suitable for level measurement of aggressive liquids in small vessels.
The version with plastic horn antenna is particularly suitable for flow
measurement in open flumes or gauge measurement in bodies of
water.
The electronics with increased sensitivity enables the use of
VEGAPULS 61 also in applications with very poor reflective properties
or products with low ε
value.
r
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 running 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.
Power is supplied via the H1 Fieldbus. A two-wire cable according to
Fieldbus specification serves as carrier of both power and digital data
for multiple sensors. This cable can be operated in two versions:
l via an H1 interface card in the control system and additional power
supply
l via a Linking device with HSE (High speed Ethernet) and
additional power supply according to IEC 61158-2
The DD (Device Descriptions) and CFF (capability files) necessary for
planning and configuration of your FF (Foundation Fieldbus) communication network are available in the download area of the VEGA
homepage
www.vega.co
m under "Services - Downloads - Software -
Foundation Fieldbus". The appropriate certificates are also available
there. A CD with the appropriate files and certificates can be ordered
via e-mail under info@de.vega.com or by phone from one of the VEGA
agencies under the order number "DRIVER.S".
The backlight of the indicating and adjustment module is powered by
the sensor. Prerequisite is a certain level of operating voltage.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
The optional heating requires its own operating voltage. You can find
detailed information in the supplementary instructions manual "Heating
for indicating and adjustment module". This function is generally not
available for approved instruments.

4.1 General instructions
Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and
connecting as well as later retrofitting of an indicating and adjustment
module. The housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of any
tools. You can also install the indicating and adjustment module in four
different positions (each displaced by 90°).
War
ning:
With threaded versions, the housing must not be used to screw in the
instrument! Applying tightening forces on the housing can damage its
internal parts.
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 off. This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or
on cooled or heated vessels.

- in three steps 0°, 90° and 180°
l Double chamber housing
- 90° infinitely variable
- in two steps 0° and 90°
4.3 Mounting instructions
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. These can,
however, be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter
"Setup").
If you cannot keep this distance you should carry out a false echo
storage before setup. This applies mainly if buildup on the vessel wall
is expected. In this case, we recommend repeating a false echo
storage later with existing buildup.

antenna. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the
following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if
possible also rounded. After installation you must carry out a false
echo storage.

Vessel installations
Agitators
Fig. 12: Alignment
in liquids
The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the microwave signals.
Vessel installations such as for example, ladders, limit switches,
heating spirals, struts etc. can cause false echoes that interfere with
the useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring site that the
radar signals have 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.
Small, inclined sheet metal baffles above the installations scatter the
radar signals and prevent direct interfering reflections.
Fig. 13: Cover
smooth profiles with deflectors
If there are agitators in the vessel, a false echo storage should be
carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfering
reflections from the agitators are saved with t he blades in different
positions.

Measurement in the

Th
rough the action of filling, stirring and other processes in the vessel,
dense foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may form
on the product surface.
If foams lead to measurement errors, you should use the biggest
possible radar antennas and low frequency radar sensors (C-band).
As an alternative, sensors with guided microwave can be used. These
are unaffected by foam generation and are best suited for such
applications.
By using a standpipe, the influence of vessel installations and
turbulence can be excluded. Under these prerequisites, the measurement of products with low dielectric values (from DK value 1.6) is
possible.
Note:
rement in a standpipe is not recommended for very adhesive
Measu
products.
Surge or bypass tubes must extend all the way down to the requested
min. level, as measurement is only possible within the tube.
Surge pipe
Make sure you provide the necessary upper vent hole in the surge
pipe. The hole must be aligned so that it and the polarisation marking
on the sensor are in the same plane (see illustration: "Pipe antenna
system in a tank").

Bypass tube
As an alternative to the surge pipe in the vessel, a tube system outside
of the vessel is possible as a bypass tube. Select during setup the
function "Bypass tube".
Align the sensor in such a way that the polarisation marking on the
process fitting is in the same plane as the tube holes or the tube
connection openings (see illustration: "VEGAPULS in a bypass tube").

5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
l If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed according to Foundation Fieldbus specification.
Ti
p:
We recommend VEGA overvoltage arrester B63-32.
In
hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate regulations,
conformity and type approval certificates of the sensors and power
supply units.
The instrument requires a operating voltage of 9 … 32 V DC.
Operating voltage and the digital bus signal are carried on the same
two-wire connection cable. Power is supplied via the H1 power supply.
Connection is carried out with screened cable according to Fieldbus
specification.
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm
(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. If you are
using cable with a different diameter or cross-section, exchange the
seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the
Fieldbus specification. In particular, make sure that the termination of
the bus is done with appropriate terminating resistors.
Cable gland ½ NPT
Cable screening and
grounding
24 VE
On the instrument with cable entry ½ NPT and plastic housing there is
a metallic ½" threaded insert moulded into the plastic housing.
Caution:
grease should be used when screwing the NPT cable gland or
No
steel tube into the threaded insert. Standard grease can contain
additives that corrode the connection between threaded insert and
housing. This would influence the stability of the connection and the
tightness of the housing.
In systems with p otential equalisation, connect the cable screen
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit, in the connection
box and at the sensor. The screen in the sensor must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal outside on
the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low
impedance).

GAPULS 61 • Foundation Fieldbus
ecting to power supply
5 Conn
systems without potential equalisation, connect the cable screen
In
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit and at the sensor.
In the connection box or T-distributor, the screen of the short stub to
the sensor must not be connected to ground potential or to another
cable screen. The cable screens to the power supply unit and to the
next distributor must be connected to each other and also connected
to ground potential via a ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low
frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the
protective effect against high frequency interference signals remains.
Th
e total capacitance of the cable and of all capacitors must not exceed
10 nF in Ex applications.
Ta
ke note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisation
currents flow over the cable screen. In case of grounding on both sides
this can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential
equalisation.
5.2 Connection procedure
Proceed as follows:
1 Unscrew the housing cover
2 If an indicating and adjustment module is installed, remove it by
turning 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.

procedure
After VEGAPULS 61 is connected to voltage supply or after voltage
recurrence, the instrument carries out a self-check for approx. 30
seconds. The following steps are carried out:
l Internal check of the electronics
l Indication of the instrument type, the firmware as well as the

l Status byte goes briefly to fault value
Then the current measured value will be displayed and the
corresponding digital output signal will be outputted to the cable.
2)
As VEGAPULS 61 is a distance measuring instrument, the distance
from the sensor to the product surface is measured. To have the real
product level displayed, an allocation of the measured distance to the
percentage height must be made. To carry out this adjustment, the
distance is entered with full and empty vessel. If these values are not
known, an adjustment with the distance values, e.g. 10 % and 90 % is
also possible. Starting point for these distance specifications is always
the seal surface of the thread or flange. With these settings, the real
level is calculated. Furthermore the operating range of the sensor is
limited from maximum to the required range.
The real product level during this adjustment is not important, because
the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without changing the
product level. These settings can be made ahead of time without the
instrument having to be installed.
Caution:
there is a separation of liquids with different dielectric values in the
If
vessel, e.g. from condensation, VEGAPULS 61 can detect under
certain circumstances only the medium with the higher dielectric value.
Keep in mind that interfaces can cause faulty measurements.
If you want to measure the total height of both liquids reliably, please
contact our service department or use an instrument specially
designed for interface measurement.

tion:
With VEGAPULS 61 with electronics version "Increased safety",
"Solid" is preset as factory setting. However, the instrument should be
used preferably in liquids. In such cases, the medium selection should
be set to "Liquid" during setup.
According to the conductivity and the dielectric value of liquids, the
reflection properties can differ considerably. Therefore additional
options such as "Solvent", "Chem. mixture" and "Water based" are
offered below the menu item Liquid.
With solids, you can also choose between "Powder/Dust", "Granular/
Pellets" or "Ballast/Pebbels".
Through this additional selection, the sensor is adapted perfectly to the
product and measurement reliability, particularly in products with bad
reflective properties, is considerably increased.

Gating out of false signals
High sockets or vessel installations, such as e. g. struts or agitators as
well as buildup and weld joints on the vessel walls cause interfering
reflections which can impair the measurement. A false echo storage
detects and marks these false echoes, so that they are no longer taken
into account for the level measurement. A false echo memory should
be created with low level so that all potential interfering reflections will
be detected.

6.6 Saving
It is recommended noting the adjusted data, e.g. in this operating
instructions manual and archive them afterwards. They are hence
available for multiple use or service purposes.
If VEGAPULS 61 is equipped with an indicating and adjustment
module, the most important data can be read out of the sensor into

8.1 Maintenance
When used as directed in normal operation, VEGAPULS 61 is
completely maintenance free.
8.2 Rectify malfunctions
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measures
to remove interferences.
VEGAPULS 61 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can
occur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
l Sensor
l Process
l Voltage supply
l Signal processing
The first measures to be taken are to check the output signals as well
as to evaluate the error messages via the indicating and adjustment
module. The procedure is described below. Further comprehensive
diagnostics can be carried out on a PC with the software PACTware
and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the causes can be determined
this way and faults rectified.
However, should these measures not be successful, call the VEGA
service hotline in urgent cases under the phone no. +49 1805 858550.
The hotline is available to you 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since
we offer this service world-wide, the support is only available in the
English language. The service is free of charge, only the standard
telephone costs will be charged.

8.3 Exchanging the electronics module
If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.
In Ex
applications only one instrument and one electronics module with
respective Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, one can be ordered
from the VEGA agency serving you.
The new electronics module must be loaded with the settings of the
sensor. These are the options:
l At the factory by VEGA
l Or on site by the user
In both cases, the sensor serial number is needed. The serial numbers
are stated on the type label of the instrument, inside the housing or on
the delivery note.
Informa
tion:
When loading on site, first of all the order data must be downloaded
from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Oscillator").
The electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor and
distinguish also in the signal output or power supply.
