3.2 Principle of operation

The instrument is suitable for applications with liquids in storage tanks and process vessels under dicult process conditions. Application possibilities can be found in the chemical industry, in environmental and recycling technology as well as in the petrochemical industry.
The version with standpipe antenna is particularly suitable for measurement of solvents and liquid gases, for vessels with foam generation or for measurement of products with low dielectric values (DK > 1.6).
Measurement in a standpipe is not recommended for extremely adhesive products.
The standard electronics enables the use of instruments in products with an ε enables the use of the instrument also in applications with very poor reective properties or products with an εr value ≥1.5. The values that can be actually reached depend on the measurement conditions, the antenna system or the standpipe or bypass tube.

The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reected 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.

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
Suitability for the process conditions
Installation
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 as well as installation in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.
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 type label.

4.2 Instructions for installation

By using the standpipe version, the inuence of turbulence and ves­sel installations, such as e.g. heating spirals or agitators, is excluded. If turbulence or vigorous product movement occurs in the vessel, long standpipe antennas should be fastened to the vessel wall.
The standpipe antenna must extend all the way down to the request­ed min. level, as measurement is only possible within the tube. If a good mixing of the product is important, you should use a version with perforated surge pipe.
Warning:
Remember that with the version with ¾" thread, a max. torque of 80 Nm (59 lbf ft) must not be exceeded.

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
Select connection cable
Cable gland ½ NPT
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 output 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. Gener­ally 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.
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm (0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal eect of the cable gland. If you are using cable with a dierent diameter or cross-section, exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland.
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"
Cable screening and grounding
14
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 interfer­ence signals remains.

Connection technology
5 Connecting to power supply
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 connect­ed 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 metal 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 Connecting

The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing. The connection to the indicating 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 inserting the terminal block again, you should hear it snap in.
Connection procedure
36508-EN-121011
VEGAPULS 62 standpipe version • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire
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. 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

You can nd further information to 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 indicating and adjustment module back
on
11. Screw the housing cover back on
The electrical connection is hence nished.

Adjustment system
Main menu
The sensor is adjusted via the four keys of the indicating and adjust-
ment module. The LC display indicates the individual menu items. The functions of the individual keys are shown in the above illustration. Approx. 10 minutes after the last pressing of a key, an automatic reset to measured value indication is triggered. Any values not conrmed with [OK] will not be saved.

6.3 Parameter adjustment

Through the parameter adjustment the instrument is adapted to the application conditions. The parameter adjustment is carried out via an adjustment menu.
The main menu is divided into ve sections with the following func-
tions:
Setup: Settings, e.g., for measurement loop name, medium, applica­tion, vessel, adjustment, signal output
Display: Settings, e.g., for language, measured value display, lighting Diagnosis: Information, e.g. on the instrument status, pointer, reli-
ability, simulation, echo curve Further settings: Instrument unit, false signal suppression, linearisa-
tion curve, reset, date/time, reset, copy function Info: Instrument name, hardware and software version, calibration
date, instrument features
Information:
In this operating instructions manual, the instrument-specic param­eters in the menu sections "Setup", "Diagnosis" and "Additional set- tings" are described. The general parameters in these menu section are described in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and adjustment module".

6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
You can nd in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and ad- justment module" also the description of the menu sections "Display" and "Info".
In the main menu point "Setup", the individual submenu points should be selected subsequently and provided with the correct parameters to ensure the optimum adjustment of the measurement. The proce­dure is described in the following.
Setup/Medium
Setup/Adjustment
Each medium has dierent reection properties. With liquids, further interfering factors are uctuation product surface and foam genera­tion. With bulk solids, these are dust generation, material cone and additional echoes from the vessel wall.
To adapt the sensor to these dierent measuring conditions, the selection "Liquid" or "Bulk solid" should be made in this menu item.
Through this selection, the sensor is adapted perfectly to the product and measurement reliability, particularly in products with poor reec­tive properties, is considerably increased.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and the [->] key.
Since a radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, the distance from the sensor to the product surface is measured. For indication of the real 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 ves­sel. For instruments with standpipe antenna, these values are already preset by default, see the following example:

If these values are not known, an adjustment with the distances of for example 10 % and 90 % is possible. Starting point for these distance specications is always the seal surface of the thread or ange. By means of these settings, the real level will be calculated.
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.
Setup/Min. adjustment
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the menu item "Setup" with [->] and conrm with [OK]. Now select with [->] the menu item "Min. adjustment" and conrm with [OK].
2. Edit the percentage value with [OK] and set the cursor to the requested position with [->].
3. Set the requested percentage value with [+] and save with [OK]. The cursor jumps now to the distance value.

5. Save settings with [OK] and move with [ESC] and [->] to the max. adjustment.
Setup/Max. adjustment
Diagnosis/Peak value
Proceed as follows:
1. Select with [->] the menu item max. adjustment and conrm with [OK].
2. Prepare the percentage value for editing with [OK] and set the cursor to the requested position with [->].
3. Set the requested percentage value with [+] and save with [OK]. The cursor jumps now to the distance value.
4. Enter the appropriate distance value in m (corresponding to the percentage value) for the full vessel. Keep in mind that the max. level must lie below the min. distance to the antenna edge.
5. Save settings with [OK]
The respective min. and max. measured value is saved in the sensor.
The values are displayed in the menu item "Peak values".
Diagnosis/Measurement reliability
24
When non-contact level sensors are used, the measurement can be
inuenced by the respective process conditions. In this menu item, the measurement reliability of the level echo is displayed as dB value. The measurement reliability equals signal strength minus noise. The higher the value, the more reliable the measurement. With a function­ing measurement, the values are > 10 dB.

36508-EN-121011
6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
Diagnoses/Curve indica­tion
The "Echocurve" shows the signal strength of the echoes over the
measuring range in dB. The signal strength enables an evaluation of the quality of the measurement.
The "False signal suppression" displays the saved false echoes (see menu "Additional settings") of the empty vessel with signal strength in "dB" over the measuring range.
A comparison of echo curve and false signal suppression allows a more accurate conclusion on measurement reliability. The selected curve is continuously updated. With the [OK] key, a submenu with zoom functions is opened:
"X-Zoom": Zoom function for the meas. distance
"Y-Zoom": 1, 2, 5 and 10x signal magnication in "dB"
"Unzoom": Reset the presentation to the nominal measuring range
with single magnication
Diagnostics/Echo curve memory
36508-EN-121011
VEGAPULS 62 standpipe version • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire
With the function "Echocurvememory" the echo curve can be saved
at the time of setup. This is generally recommended; for using the As­set Management functions it is absolutely necessary. If possible, the curve should be saved with a low level in the vessel.
With the adjustment software PACTware and the PC, the high resolu­tion echo curve can be displayed and used to recognize signal changes over the operating time. In addition, the echo curve of the setup can be also displayed in the echo curve window and compared with the actual echo curve.

6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
Additional adjustments/ False signal suppression
The following circumstances cause interfering reections and can
inuence the measurement:
High sockets
Vessel installations such as struts
Agitators
Buildup or welded joints on vessel walls
Note:
A false signal suppression detects, marks and saves these false sig­nals so that they are no longer taken into account for level measure­ment.
This should be done with the low level so that all potential interfering reections can be detected.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the menu item "Additional settins" with [->] and conrm with [OK]. With [->] you have to select the menu item "False signal suppression" and conrm with [OK].
2. Conrm again with [OK].
3. Conrm again with [OK].
26
4. Conrm again with [OK] and enter the actual distance from the sensor to the product surface.
5. All interfering signals in this section are detected by the sensor 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 false signal. The lling level would then no longer be detectable in this area.

36508-EN-121011
6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module
If a false signal suppression has already been created in the sensor, the following menu window appears when selecting "False signal suppression":
The menu item "Delete" is used to completely delete an already cre­ated false signal suppression. This is useful if the saved false signal suppression no longer matches the metrological conditions in the vessel.
The menu item "Extend" is used to extend an already created false signal suppression. This is useful if a false signal suppression was carried out with a too high 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 and the false signal suppression can be extended to this range.
Additional adjustments/ Linearization curve
A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. in a horizontal cylindri­cal or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed for these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level percentage and vessel volume.
By activating the appropriate curve, the volume percentage of the vessel is displayed correctly. If the volume should not be displayed in percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling can be also set in the menu item "Display".
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your settings and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and [->] key.
Caution:
Note the following if the instrument with corresponding approval is used as part of an overll protection system according to WHG:
If a linearisation curve is selected, the measuring signal is no longer linearly proportional to the level. This must be taken into consideration by the user, particularly when setting the switching point on the level switch.

Additional adjustments/ Probe length
Additional adjustments
- Reset
With radar sensors with standpipe antenna, the sensor length is
already preset in this menu item. When shortening the standpipe antenna afterwards, this value must be appropriately corrected.
When a reset is carried out, all settings (with only a few exceptions)
are reset. The exceptions are: PIN, language, lighting, SIL and HART mode.
The following reset functions are available: Delivery status: Restoring the parameter settings at the time of ship-
ment from the factory incl. the order-specic settings. A created false signal suppression, user-programmable linearization curve as well as the measured value memory will be deleted.
Basic settings: Resetting the parameter settings incl. special and laboratory parameters to the default values of the respective instru­ment. A created false signal suppression, user programmable lineari­zation curve as well as the measured value memory will be deleted.
Setup: Resetting of the parameter settings to the default values of the respective instrument in the menu item Setup. User-generated false signal suppression, user-programmed linearization curve, measured value memory as well as event memory remain untouched. The linearization is set to linear.
False signal suppression: Deleting a previously created false signal suppression. The false signal suppression created in the factory remains active.
Peak values distance: Resetting the measured min. and max. dis­tances to the actual measured value.

6.4 Saving the parameter adjustment data

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 an indicating and adjustment module, the data in the sensor can be saved in the indicating and adjustment module. The procedure is described in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and adjustment module" 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 indicating and adjustment module are saved:
All data of the menu "Setup" and "Display"
In the menu "Additional adjustments" the items "Sensor-specic
units, temperature unit and linearization" The values of the user programmable linearisation curve
The function can also be used to transfer settings from one instru­ment to another instrument of the same type. If it is necessary to exchange a sensor, the indicating and adjustment module is inserted into the replacement instrument and the data are likewise written into the sensor via the menu item "Copy sensor data".

Note:
With power supply units with integrated HART resistance (internal resistance approx. 250 Ω), an additional external resistance is not necessary. This applies, e.g. to the VEGA instruments VEGATRENN 149A, VEGAMET 381 and VEGAMET 391). Commercially available Ex separators are also usually equipped with sucient current limita­tion resistance. In such cases, VEGACONNECT 4 can be connected parallel to the 4 … 20 mA cable.

7.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware

For parameter adjustment of the sensor via a Windows PC, the con­guration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver (DTM) according to FDT standard are required. The up-to-date PACTware version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a DTM Collec­tion. 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 manu­al "DTMCollection/PACTware" attached to each DTM Collection and which can also be downloaded from the Internet. Detailed descrip­tions are available in the online help of PACTware and the DTMs.

7 Setup with PACTware
Standard/Full version
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 simple project conguration simplies the adjustment considerably. Saving/printing the project as well as import/export functions are also part of the standard version.
In the full version there is also an extended print function for complete project documentation as well as a save function for measured value and echo curves. In addition, there is a tank calculation program as well as a multiviewer for display and analysis of the saved measured value and echo curves.
The standard version is available as a download under www.vega. com/downloads and "Software". The full version is available on CD from the agency serving you.

7.3 Saving the parameter adjustment data

We recommend documenting or saving the parameter adjustment data via PACTware. That way the data are available for multiple use or service purposes.

9.1 Maintenance

If the device is used correctly, no maintenance is required in normal operation.

9.2 Measured value and event memory

The instrument has several memories which are available for diagno­sis purposes. The data remain even with voltage interruption.
Measured value memory
Event memory
Echo curve memory
Up to 60,000 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. reliability
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
Switching on and 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 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

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 indicating and
adjustment module Checking the output signal with 4 … 20 mA instruments
Treatment of measurement errors
Further comprehensive diagnostics options oer a PC with the soft­ware PACTware and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the reasons can be determined in this way and faults can be rectied.
Connect a handmultimeter in the suitable measuring range according to the wiring plan. The following table describes possible errors in the current signal and helps to remove them:

The below tables show typical examples of application-relevant meas-
urement errors with standpipe versions. The measurement errors are dierentiated according to:
Constant level
Filling
Emptying
The images in column "Errorpattern" show the real level with a bro­ken line and the level displayed by the sensor as a continuous line.

time
Instructions:
Wherever the sensor displays a constant value, the reason could
also be the fault setting of the current output to "Hold value" In case of a too low level indication, the reason could be a line
resistance that is too high

9.4 Measurement error with constant level

Fault description Error pattern Cause Rectication
1. Measured value shows a too low or too high level
Level
0
– Min./max. adjustment not
correct
– Wrong linearization curve – Adapt linearization curve
time
– Installation in a bypass tube or
standpipe, hence running time error (small measurement error close to 100 %/large error close
– Adapt min./max. adjustment
– Check parameter "Application"
with respect to vessel form, adapt if necessary (bypass, standpipe, diameter)
to 0 %)
2. Measured value jumps towards 100 %
Level
– Due to the process, the ampli-
tude of the product echo sinks
– Carry out false signal suppres-
sion
– A false signal suppression was
0
not carried out
time
– Amplitude or position of a
false echo has changed (e.g. condensation, buildup); false signal suppression no longer
– Determine the reason for the
changed false echo, carry out false signal suppression, e.g. with condensation
matches
9.4 Measurementerrorduringlling
Fault description Error pattern Cause Rectication
3. Measured value re­mains in the area of the bottom during lling
4. Measured value jumps to ≥ 100 % or
0 m distance
Level
– Echo from the tank bottom
larger than the product echo, for example, with products with
0
Level
εr < 2.5 oil-based, solvents
time
– Level echo is no longer
detected in the close range due to foam generation or false echoes in the close range. The sensor goes into overll protec­tion mode. The max. level (0 m distance) as well as the status message "Overll protection" are outputted.
– Check application parameters
Medium, Vessel height and Floor form, adapt if necessary
– Check measuring site: Antenna
must protrude out of the socket
– Remove contamination on the
antenna
– Use a sensor with a more suit-
able antenna

9.4 Measurement error during emptying

Fault description Error pattern Cause Rectication
5. Measured value re­mains unchanged in the close range during emptying

time
VEGAPULS 62 standpipe version • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire
– Remove false echoes in the
close range. Check: Antenna must protrude out of the socket
– Remove contamination on the
antenna
– Minimize interfering instal-
lations in the close range by changing the polarization
direction
– After removing the false ech-
oes, the false signal suppres­sion must be deleted. Carry out a new false signal suppression

with respective Ex approval may be used. If there is no electronics module available on site, the electronics
module can be ordered through the agency serving you. The electron­ics modules are adapted to the respective sensor and dier in signal output or voltage supply.
The new electronics module must be loaded with the default settings of the sensor. These are the options:
In the factory
Or on site by the user
In both cases, the serial number of the sensor is needed. The serial numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument, on the inside of the housing as well as on the delivery note.
When loading on site, rst of all the order data must be downloaded from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Electronics module").

9.6 Software update

The propagation speed of the radar impulses in gas or vapour above the medium is reduced by high pressure. This eect depends on the superimposed gas or vapour and is especially large at low temperatures.
The following table shows the resulting deviation for some typical gases and vapours. The specied values refer to the distance. Positive values mean that the measured distance is too large, negative values that the measured distance is too small.
