3 Product description
The actual values that can be reached depend on the measurement
conditions, the antenna system or 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

When mounting the sensor, keep a distance of at least 200 mm
(7.874 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 cases, we recommend repeating the
false signal storage at a later date with existing buildup.

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 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.

Safety instructions
Connecting to the bus system
5.1
Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Warning:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage.
•
•
The electrical connection must only be carried out by trained
personnel authorised by the plant operator.
If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed.
Voltage supply
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 for instruments with housing and
cablegland.Toensurethesealeffectofthecablegland(IPprotection
rating),findoutwhichcableouterdiameterthecableglandissuitable
for.
Useacableglandfittingthecablediameter.
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 cable screening and grounding is carried out accordingtotheFieldbusspecification.Ifelectromagneticinterferenceis
expected which is above the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial
areas, we recommend connecting the cable screen to ground potential at both ends.
36502-EN-140922
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).
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 equaliVEGAPULS 61 • Foundation Fieldbus

Since the 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, see the following example:

the measurement reliability of the level echo is displayed as dB value.
The measurement reliability equals signal strength minus noise. 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

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.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".

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:
•
•
•
All data of the menu "Setup" and "Display"
In the menu "Additional adjustments" the items "Sensor-specific
units, temperature unit and linearization"

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".

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:
•

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.

Function block Signal Characterizer
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.
