Functional principle level measurement High frequency microwave pulses are guided along a steel cable or a rod. Upon reaching the product surface, the microwave pulses are reflected.Therunningtimeisevaluatedbytheinstrumentandoutputted as level. 44224-EN-140430 8 VEGAFLEX 83 • Foundation Fieldbus 3 Product description 1 d h Fig. 2: Level measurement 1 Sensorreferenceplane(sealsurfaceoftheprocessfitting) d Distance to the interface h Height - Level Probe end tracking To increase sensitivity, the probe is equipped with probe end tracking. In products with a low dielectric constant, this function is very helpful. This is the case, for example, in plastic granules, packing chips or in vesselswithfluidizedproducts. Between a dielectric constant of 1.5 and 3, the function switches on, if required. As soon as the level echo can no longer be detected, probe end tracking is automatically activated. The measurement is continued with the last calculated dielectric constant. The accuracy thus depends on the stability of the dielectric constant. If you measure a medium with a dielectric constant below 1.5, probe end tracking is always active. In this case, you have to enter the dielectric constant of the medium. A stable dielectric constant is very important here. High frequency microwave impulses are guided along a steel cable or rod. Upon reaching the product surface, a part of the microwave impulsesisreflected.Theotherpartpassesthroughtheupperproduct andisreflectedbytheinterface.Therunningtimestothetwoproduct layers are processed by the instrument. 44224-EN-140430 Functional principle - interface measurement VEGAFLEX 83 • Foundation Fieldbus 9 3 Product description h2 h1 L3 d2 L2 TS 1 d1 L1 Fig. 3: Interface measurement 1 Sensorreferenceplane(sealsurfaceoftheprocessfitting) d1 Distance to the interface d2 Distance to the level TS Thicknessoftheuppermedium(d1-d2) h1 Height - Interface h2 Height - Level L1 Lower medium L2 Upper medium L3 Gasphase Prerequisites for interface measurement Upper medium (L2) • The upper medium must not be conductive • The dielectric constant of the upper medium or the actual distance to the interface must be known (input required).

VEGAFLEX 83 • Foundation Fieldbus 13 4 Mounting 4 Protection against moisture Mounting 4.1 General instructions Protect your instrument against moisture penetration through the following measures: • • • • Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connectingtopower supply") Tighten the cable gland Turn the housing in such a way that the cable gland points downward Loop the connection cable downward in front of the cable gland This applies particularly to: • • • Protective caps Outdoor mounting Installations in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) Installations on cooled or heated vessels In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red protective caps as transport protection. Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with approved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs. The suitable cable glands and blind plugs come with the instrument. Suitability for the process Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process are conditions suitable for the existing process conditions. These are mainly: • • • Active measuring component Processfitting Process seal • • • • Process pressure Process temperature Chemical properties of the medium Abrasionandmechanicalinfluences Process conditions are particularly: Youcanfindthespecificationsoftheprocessconditionsinchapter "Technicaldata" as well as on the type label. Installation position 4.2 Mounting instructions During operation, the probe must not touch any installations or the vessel wall. If necessary, fasten the probe end. 14 VEGAFLEX 83 • Foundation Fieldbus 44224-EN-140430 Mount VEGAFLEX 83 in such a way that the distance to vessel installations or to the vessel wall is at least 300 mm (12 in). In non-metallic vessels, the distance to the vessel wall should be at least 500 mm (19.7 in). 4 Mounting In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible nearly down to the lowest point of the bottom. Keep in mind that measurement all the way down to the tip of the probe may not be possible. The exact value of the min. distance (lower dead band) is stated in chapter "Technicaldata". Fig. 4: Vessel with conical bottom Type of vessel Plastic vessel/Glass vessel The guided microwave principle requires a metallic surface on the processfitting.Therefore,inplasticvessels,etc.,useaninstrumentversionwithflange(fromDN50)orplaceametalsheet (ø>200mm/8in)beneaththeprocessfittingwhenscrewingitin.

Determine probe length automatically If you do not know the probe length, you can have the length of the probe determined automatically. The requirement for this is a probe unrestricted and not covered by the medium. Click to "Carryoutnow", to start the automatic length determination. Step 2 Application Type of medium Here you can see which type of medium your instrument is suitable for. If this function is inactive, the medium type your instrument is suitable for was already preset. Information: In special cases you can change the type of medium. This setting can be changed under "Extendedadjustment". Application Inthisfieldyoucanselecttheapplicationyouwanttouseyourinstrument for. You have the following selection options: 44224-EN-140430 • • • • • Level in the vessel Level in the bypass/standpipe Interface in the vessel Interface in the bypass/standpipe Demonstration mode Level measurement: If you select "Level", you can select the propertiesofthemediuminanotherfield. Interface measurement: If you select "Interface", the instrument needs more information, such as the distance to the interface, the dielectric constant of the upper medium or whether or not there is a superimposed gas phase. VEGAFLEX 83 • Foundation Fieldbus 51 7 Setup with PACTware Demonstration mode: This mode is only suitable for test and demonstration purposes. In this mode, the sensor ignores all parameters and reacts immediately to all measured value changes within the measuring range. Application - Level measurement The level measurement refers to the product surface which is the limit to the gas phase. As a standard feature, the instrument is set to level measurement of liquids. You can switch over the instrument to the measurement of bulk solids. • • Liquids – Solvents, oils, LPG - dielectric constant < 3 – Chemical mixtures - dielectric constant 3 … 10 – Water-based - dielectric constant > 10 Bulk solids – Dusts, wood chips - dielectric constant < 1.5 – Granules, dusts, powders - dielectric constant 1.5 … 3 – Cereals,flour-dielectricconstant>3 Application - Interface measurement The interface measurement refers to the phase limit between two liquids. The total level is also available as a measured value. • • Step 3 Adjustment Superimposed gas phase present – Check if there is a superimposed gas phase in the vessel. This is always the case if the total level never touches the process fitting. Properties – Here you can enter the dielectric constant of the upper medium – As an alternative you can enter the distance to the interface Adjustment for the level measurement If you have selected level measurement in the previous menu, then you can enter the values for the min. and max. adjustment. The value to be entered refers to the distance from the sealing surface of the processfitting(sensorreferenceplane)tothesurfaceoftheproduct. Adjustment for the level and interface measurement If you have selected interface measurement in the previous menu, then you can enter the values for the min. and max. adjustment of level and interface or accept the values of the level measurement. The entered value refers to the distance from the sealing surface of the processfitting(sensorreferenceplane)tothetotallevelorinterface.

VEGAFLEX 83 • Foundation Fieldbus 53 7 Setup with PACTware 7.4 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. 44224-EN-140430 54 VEGAFLEX 83 • Foundation Fieldbus 8 Set up with other systems 8 8.1 Set up with other systems DD adjustment programs Device descriptions as Enhanced Device Description (EDD) are available for DD adjustment programs such as, for example, AMS™ and PDM. Thefilescanbedownloadedatwww.vega.com/downloads under "Software". 8.2 Field Communicator 375, 475 Device descriptions for the instrument are available as EDD for parameter adjustment with the Field Communicator 375 or 475. 44224-EN-140430 For the integration of the EDD in the Field Communicator 375 or 475, the software "Easy Upgrade Utility" is required which is available from the manufacturer. This software is updated via the Internet and new EDDs are automatically taken over into the device catalogue of this software after they are released by the manufacturer. They can then be transferred to a Field Communicator. VEGAFLEX 83 • Foundation Fieldbus 55 9 Diagnostics and service 9 Diagnostics and service 9.1 Maintenance 9.2 Diagnosis 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 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 certainty and electronics temperature every 3 minutes. In "Extended adjustment" you can select the respective measured values. 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. Echo curve memory The echo curves are stored with date and time and the corresponding echo data. The memory is divided into two sections: • • 56 PC with PACTware/DTM Control system with EDD VEGAFLEX 83 • Foundation Fieldbus 44224-EN-140430 Echo curve of the setup: This is used as reference echo curve for the measurement conditions during setup.
