3 Product description
Theinstrumentcanbeusedwithproductswithanεrvalue≥1.8.The
actually achievable value depends on the measuring conditions, the
antenna system, the standpipe or bypass.
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.
Packaging
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
based on ISO 4180.
3.3
Packaging, transport and storage
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environmentfriendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE

Polarisation
4.2
Mounting instructions
The emitted radar impulses of VEGAPULS 66 are electromagnetic
waves. The polarisation is the direction of the electrical share. Their
position is marked on the instrument.

Installation position
Marking hole
When mounting the VEGAPULS 66, keep a distance of at least
500 mm (19.69 in) to 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 maintain this distance, you should carry out a false
signal storage during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the
vessel wall is expected. In such a case, it is recommended to repeat
the false signal storage at a later date with existing buildup.
> 500 mm
(19.69")
Fig. 3: Mounting of the radar sensor on round vessel tops
In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the lowest point of the vessel bottom.

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 site 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.

If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal suppression should
be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the

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 cable
Connection is carried out with screened cable according to Fieldbus
specification.
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of
5…9mm(0.2…0.35in)ensuresthesealeffectofthecablegland.
Ifyouareusingcablewithadifferentdiameterorcross-section,
exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the
Fieldbusspecification.Inparticular,makesurethatthebusisterminated with suitable terminating resistors.
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 "Technicaldata".
Cable screening and
grounding
Make sure that the cable screening and ground is executed accordingtotheFielbusspecification.Ifelectromagneticinterferenceis
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 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).

VEGAPULS 66 • Foundation Fieldbus
36530-EN-140209
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 equalisationcurrentsarethussuppressed,buttheprotectiveeffectagainst
high frequency interference signals remains.

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.

6 Set up with the display and adjustment module
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 linearisation is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
doesnotincreaselinearlywiththelevel-e.g.inahorizontalcylindrical 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
36530-EN-140209
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:
•

Measured value and event memory
If the device is used correctly, no maintenance is required in normal
operation.
The instrument has several memories which are available for diagnosis purposes. The data remain even with voltage interruption.
Measured value 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.
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.

Function block Output Splitter
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.

The function block "Signal Characterizer" has two channels the outputs of which are not in linear
relationwiththerespectiveinput.Thenon-linearrelationisdefinedbyalook-uptablewithindividually 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.
