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 order to measure as much of the vessel volume as possible, the
sensor should be aligned so that the measuring beam reaches the
lowest level in the vessel. In a cylindrical silo with conical outlet, the
sensor is mounted anywhere from one third to one half of the vessel
radius from outside wall (see following drawing).

Example:
In a vessel 20 m high, the installation position of the sensor is 1.4 m
from the vessel centre.
The necessary angle of inclination of 4° can be read out from this
chart.
Proceed as follows to adjust the angle of inclination with the swivelling
holder:
1. Loosen the six clamping screws on the swivelling holder with a
size5Allenwrench.
2. Align the sensor, check angle of inclination
Information:
The max. angle of inclination of the swivelling holder is approx. 10°
3. Tighten the clamping screws, torque max. 8 Nm.
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.
47247-EN-140526
If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false
echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures.

Material heaps
Large material heaps are best measured with several instruments,
which can be mounted on e.g. traverse cranes. For this type of application it is advantageous to orient the sensor perpendicular to the
bulk solid surface.

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").

Mounting in the vessel
insulation
Instruments for a temperature range up to 200° C have a spacer
betweenprocessfittingandelectronicshousing.Thisspacerisused
to thermally decouple the electronics from the high process temperatures.
Information:
The spacer may only be incorporated up to a maximum of 50 mm into
the vessel insulation. Only then is a reliable temperature decoupling
guaranteed.

5.1
Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
•
•
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed
Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire
cable.Theoperatingvoltagecandifferdependingontheinstrument
version.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespecifiedinchapter"Technicaldata".
Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the
mains circuits according to DIN EN 61140 VDE 0140-1.
Keepinmindthefollowingadditionalfactorsthatinfluencetheoperating voltage:
•
•
Connection cable
Lower output voltage of the power supply unit under nominal load
(e.g. with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault)
Influenceofadditionalinstrumentsinthecircuit(seeloadvaluesin
chapter "Technicaldata")
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, screened cable should
be used.
Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and
cablegland.Toensurethesealeffectofthecablegland(IPprotection
rating),findoutwhichcableouterdiameterthecableglandissuitable
for.
Useacableglandfittingthecablediameter.
We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART multidrop mode.
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".
47247-EN-140526
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).
With Ex systems, the grounding is carried out according to the installation regulations.

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.

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

with PACTware and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the reasons can
bedeterminedinthiswayandfaultsrectified.
Check the 4 … 20 mA
signal
Connect a multimeter in the suitable measuring range according to
the wiring plan. The following table describes possible errors in the
current signal and helps to remove them:

– Set damping according to the
instrument via the display and
adjustment module or PACTware/
DTM
4 … 20 mA signal – Electrical conmissing

– Check connection according to
chapter "Connection steps" and
if necessary, correct according to
chapter "Wiring plan"
– Voltage supply

– Check cables for breaks; repair if
necessary
– Operating voltage too low or
load resistance
too high
– Check, adapt if necessary
– Electronics

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