3.2 Principle of operation
The instrument is suitable for applications in liquids in storage tanks
and process vessels under diffi 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 figures
(DK > 1.6).
Measurement in a standpipe is not recommended for very adhesive
products.
The standard electronics enables the use of instruments in products
with an ε
r
-Wert ≥1.8. The electronics version with increased sensitivity
enables the use of the instrument also in applications with very poor
reflective properties or products with an ε
r
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 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.

4 Mounting
4.1 General instructions
With instruments with threaded process fitting, 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.
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.
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in
particular the active measuring component, process seal and process
fitting, 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 find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the
type label.
4.2 Instructions for installation
By using the standpipe version, the influence 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.

Page 13
5 Connecting to the bus system
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 voltage surges are expected, install overvoltage arresters
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 bus is
terminated with suitable terminating resistors.
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"
Make sure that the cable screening and ground is executed according
to the Fielbus specification. If electromagnetic interference is expected
which is above the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, we
recommend to connect the cable screen on both ends to ground
potential.
In this case with systems with potential 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).
In systems without potential equalisation with cable screening on both
sides, connect the cable screen 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). Low-frequency potential
equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect
against high frequency interference signals remains.

After VEGAPULS 62 is connected to the bus system, the instrument
carries out a self-test for approx. 30 seconds. The following steps are
carried out:
l Internal check of the electronics
l Indication of the instrument type, hardware and software version,
measurement loop name on the display or PC
l Indication of the status message "F 105 Determine measured
value" on the display or PC
l Status byte goes briefly to fault value
As soon as a plausible measured value is found, it 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.

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 five sections with the following
functions:
Setup: Settings, e.g., for measurement loop name, medium, applica-
tion, vessel, adjustment, signal output
Display: Settings, e.g., for language, measured value display, lighting
Diagnosis: Information, e.g. on the instrument status, pointer,
reliability, simulation, echo curve
Further settings: Instrument unit, false signal suppression, linear-
isation 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-specific parameters in the menu sections "Setup", "Diagnosis" and "Additional
settings" are described. The general parameters in these menu
section are described in the operating instructions manual "Indicating
and adjustment module".
You can find in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and
adjustment 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.
Each medium has different reflection properties. With liquids, further
interfering factors are fluctuation 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 different measuring conditions, the
selection "Liquid" or "Bulk solid" should be made in this menu item.
Main menu
Setup/Medium

36510-EN-120301
Page 24
Through this selection, the sensor is adapted perfectly to the product
and measurement reliability, particularly in products with poor
reflective 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.
Because a radar sensor 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. By
means of these settings, the real level is 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.
Proceed as follows:
1 Select the menu item "Setup" with [->] and confirm with [OK]. Now
select with [->] the menu item "Min. adjustment" and confirm 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.

distance from the sensor to the vessel bottom) corresponding to
the percentage value.
5 Save settings with [OK] and move with [ESC] and [->] to the max.

Proceed as follows:
1 Select with [->] the menu item max. adjustment and confirm 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]
Min. and max. measured values are saved in the sensor. The values
are displayed in the menu item "Peak values".
When non-contact level sensors are used, the measurement can be
influenced 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.

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:
l "X-Zoom": Zoom function for the meas. distance
l "Y-Zoom": 1, 2, 5 and 10x signal magnification in "dB"
l "Unzoom": Reset the presentation to the nominal measuring range
with single magnification
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.

The following circumstances cause interfering reflections and can
influence the measurement:
l High sockets
l Vessel installations such as struts
l Agitators
l 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 a low level so that possible interfering
reflections can be detected.
Proceed as follows:
1 Select the menu item "Additional settins" with [->] and confirm with
[OK]. With [->] you have to select the menu item "False signal
suppression" and confirm with [OK].
2 Confirm again with [OK].
3 Confirm again with [OK].
4 Confirm again with [OK] and enter the actual distance from the
sensor to the product surface.

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 filling level would then no longer be detectable in this area.
If a false signal suppression is already created in the sensor, then 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.
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 overfill protection system according to WHG:
If a linearisation curve is selected, the measuring signal is no longer
compulsorily linear proportional to the level. This must be taken into
consideration by the user, particularly when adjusting the switching
point on the level switch.
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 corrected respectively.
When a reset is carried out, all settings (with only a few exceptions) are
reset. The exceptions are: PIN, language and lighting.
The following reset functions are available:
Delivery status: Restoring the parameter settings at the time of
shipment from the factory incl. the order-specific 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. Order-related settings
remain but are not taken over into the current parameters. Usergenerated 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
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 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:
l All data of the menu "Setup" and "Display"
l In the menu "Additional settings" the items "Sensor-specific units,
temperature unit and linearization"
l The values of the user programmable linearization 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".

9.1 Maintaining
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.
Up to 70,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring
memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the respective
measured value.
Stored values are for example:
l Original sensor value
l Filling height
l Signal current
l Meas. reliability
l Electronics temperature
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:
l Modification of a parameter
l Switching on and off times
l Status messages
l Error messages
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 antenna can thus be
recognized.
The echo curve of setup is stored via:
l PC with PACTware/DTM
l Control system with EDD
l Indicating and adjustment module

The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measures
to rectify faults.
The first measures are:
l Evaluation of fault messages via the indicating and adjustment
module
l Checking the 4 … 20 mA signal
l Treatment of measurement errors
Further comprehensive diagnosis possibilities are offered by a PC with
the software PACTware and suitable DTM.
In many case, the failure reasons can thus be determined and faults
rectified.
The below tables show typical examples for application-relevant
measurement errors with standpipe versions. There are two measurement errors:
l Constant level
l Filling
l Emptying

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

9.5 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, the electronics
module can be ordered through the agency serving you. The
electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor and differ in
signal output or voltage supply.
The new electronics module must be loaded with the default settings
of the sensor. These are the options:
l In the factory
l 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, first of all the order data must be downloaded
from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Electronics

Influence of the superimposed gas and pressure to the accuracy
The propagation speed of the radar impulses in gas or vapour above the medium is reduced by
high pressure. This effect 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
specified values refer to the distance. Positive values mean that the measured distance is too
large, negative values that the measured distance is too small.

The function block "PID Control " is a key component for various tasks in the process automation and
is used universally. PID blocks can be cascaded if this is necessary or requested due to different time
constants with the primary and secondary process measurement.

The function block "Output Splitter" generates two control outputs out of one input. Each output is a
linear image of a part of the input. A retrograde calculation function is realised by using the linear
imaging function inversely. A cascading of several Output Splitters is supported by an integrated
decision table for the combinability of inputs and outputs.

Page 59
The function block "Signal Characterizer" has two channels the outputs of which are not in linear
relation with the respective input. The non-linear relation is defined by a look-up table with individually
selectable x/y-pairs. The respective input signal is imaged on the corresponding output, hence this
function block can be used in a control loop or signal path. Optionally the function axis can be
exchanged in channel 2 so that the block can be also used in a reverse control loop.

Function block Integrator

11 Supplement
36510-EN-120301
Page 60
The function block "Integrator" integrates a continuous input signal over the time and sums the results
of an impulse input block. It is used as a totalizer up to a reset or as a subtotalizer up to a reference
point at which the integrated and accumulated value is compared with the default values. When these
default values are reached, digital output signals will be outputted. The integration function is carried
out upwardly starting with zero and downwards with a default value. Two flow values are also
available so that the net flow volume can be calculated and integrated. This can be used for
calculation of volume and mass changes in the vessel or for optimisation of flow controls.

The function block "Input Selector" offers selection possibilities for up to four inputs and generates an
output signal according to the selection criteria. Typical input signals are AI blocks. Selection
possibilities are maximum, minimum, mean value, average value and first useful signal. Through
parameter combination, the block can be used as rotary switch or as preselection switch for the first
useful value. Switch information can be received by other input blocks or the user. Mean value
selection is also supported.
