3.2
Principle of operation
The VEGAPULS 67 is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of bulk solids under simple process conditions. It is suitable for
smaller silos and vessels.
40795-EN-140922
The instrument is also suitable for applications in liquids.
Functional principle
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
durationofapprox.1ns.Thesepulsesarereflectedbytheproduct
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.
Voltage supply
The instrument is powered via an integrated accumulator. This allows
operation of the instrument independently of the mains or a control
system. To achieve a longer battery lifetime, the instrument is preset
to HART multidrop. This puts a load of only 4 mA current on the accumulator.

Information:
Keep in mind that for these applications, the sensors are designed
for relatively slow level changes. If the sensor is used on a movable
boom, the max. measuring rate must be observed (see chapter
"Technicaldata").
Fig. 16: Radar sensors on traverse crane
Vessel installations
The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
otherequipmentorfixturescrossthepathofthemicrowavesignals.
Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spirals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo.
Make sure when planning your measuring point that the radar sensor
has 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.

Air rinsing is useful for avoiding buildup, particularly when there is
strong condensation. Since VEGAPULS 67 has no direct rinsing air
connection, a separate rinsing air connection must be provided in
the mounting socket. By inclining this connection towards the top, a
particularlyeffectivecleaningoftheantennacoverisachieved.

Connection of the battery charger
We recommended charging the integrated accumulator completely
beforesettinguptheinstrument.Youcanfindthechargingtimein
chapter "Technicaldata".
The battery charger is plugged into a socket in the supply room, see
chapter "Wiring plan".
The LEDs in the supply room show the charging process and condition of the accumulator, see chapter "Wiring plan".
Cable screening and
grounding
If screened cable is required, we recommend connecting 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 ground potential (low impedance).
In Ex systems, the grounding is carried out according to the installation regulations.

the quality of the measurement.
The "False signal suppression" displays the saved false echoes (see

Note:
Check the distance to the product surface, because if an incorrect
(too large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as a false
signal. The level would then no longer be detectable in this area.
If a false signal suppression has already been saved in the sensor,
the following menu window appears when selecting "False signal
suppression":
Delete: An already created false signal suppression will be completely deleted. This is useful if the saved false signal suppression no
longer matches the metrological conditions in the vessel.
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 linearisation is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
doesnotincreaselinearlywiththelevel-e.g.ahorizontalcylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is
required. Corresponding linearisation 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.

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 a display and adjustment module,
the data in the sensor can be saved in the display and adjustment
module. The procedure is described in the operating instructions
manual "Display 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 display and adjustment module are saved:

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 display 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".

Maintenance
If the device is used correctly, no maintenance is required in normal
operation.
Insomeapplications,buildupontheantennasystemcaninfluence
the measuring result. Depending on the sensor and application, make
arrangements to avoid strong pollution of the antenna system. If necessary, clean the antenna system in certain intervals.
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
Up to 100,000 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 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.
Event memory
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:
•
•
•
•
Modificationofaparameter
Switch-onandswitch-offtimes
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

10.1 Dismounting steps
Warning:
Before dismounting, be aware of dangerous process conditions such
as e.g. pressure in the vessel or pipeline, high temperatures, corrosive or toxic products etc.
Take note of chapters "Mounting" and "Connecting to power supply"
and carry out the listed steps in reverse order.
10.2 Disposal
The instrument consists of materials which can be recycled by specialised recycling companies. We use recyclable materials and have
designed the electronics to be easily separable.
Materials: see chapter "Technicaldata"
For disposal or recycling within the European Union proceed according to the "Electronicsrecycling" and "Battery/Accumulator recycling"
below. Outside the European Union you should take note of the valid
national regulations.
Electronics recycling
This instrument is not subject to the WEEE directive 2002/96/EG and
the respective national laws. Therefore pass the instrument directly
on to a specialised recycling company and do not use the municipal
collecting points. These may be used only for privately used products
according to the WEEE directive.
Battery/accumulator recycling
Note:
The disposal is subject to the directive 2006/66/EG on batteries and
accumulators.
Batteries and accumulators contain some environmentally harmful but also some valuable raw materials that can be recycled. For
that reason batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of in
household waste.
All users are legally obligated to bring batteries to a suitable collection
point, e.g. public collection points. You can also return the batteries
and accumulators to us for correct disposal. Due to the very strict
transport regulations for lithium-based batteries/accumulators, this is
normally not a good idea because shipment is very expensive.
