Быстрый старт
- Проверьте комплектность и отсутствие транспортных повреждений сразу после получения.
- Смонтируйте датчик на расстоянии не менее 200 мм от стенки резервуара, вне потока заливаемой среды; ориентируйте перпендикулярно поверхности жидкости.
- Для фланцевого исполнения с капсулированной антенной используйте тарельчатые пружины из комплекта и затяните винты требуемым моментом.
- Снимите транспортировочные заглушки с кабельных вводов, подключите стандартный двухпроводной кабель (при помехах — экранированный); питание и сигнал идут по одной линии.
- Подключение выполняйте только в обесточенном состоянии.
- Настройте прибор через модуль индикации и настройки или PACTware; при монтаже в трубе выберите приложение «Standpipe» и укажите диаметр трубы.
- Проведите подавление ложных сигналов при наличии мешающих конструкций, мешалок или отложений.
Частые вопросы
- С какого места начинается диапазон измерения?
- Физически диапазон начинается с конца антенны, но настройка ведётся от плоскости отсчёта: для фланца с капсулированной антенной это нижняя кромка фланцевой облицовки, для гигиенических присоединений — верхняя точка контакта штуцера со сварочной бобышкой.
- Можно ли монтировать датчик прямо над потоком заливаемой среды?
- Нет. Не монтируйте прибор в потоке или над ним — датчик должен регистрировать поверхность среды, а не заливаемый продукт.
- Какая минимальная диэлектрическая проницаемость среды допустима?
- Со стандартной электроникой — εr ≥ 1.8; версия электроники с повышенной чувствительностью допускает εr ≥ 1.5. Реальные результаты зависят от условий измерения и антенной системы.
- Какие требования к измерительной трубе (surge pipe)?
- Материал — металл с гладкой внутренней поверхностью, диаметр отверстий ≤ 5 мм, зазоры в соединениях ≤ 0.1 мм, труба должна доходить до минимального измеряемого уровня; диаметр антенны должен соответствовать внутреннему диаметру трубы.
- Какой кабель использовать для подключения?
- Стандартный двухпроводный кабель без экрана; при ожидаемых помехах выше испытательных значений EN 61326-1 — экранированный. Для HART multidrop рекомендуется экранированный кабель. Экран соединяется с внутренней клеммой заземления датчика.
- Что делать при образовании пены на поверхности?
- Использовать максимально большую антенну, электронику с повышенной чувствительностью или низкочастотные радарные датчики (C band); альтернатива — датчики с направляемым микроволновым сигналом, которые не подвержены влиянию пены.

3.2 Principle of operation
Application area The VEGAPULS 63 is a radar sensor for continuous level measure-
ment of aggressive liquids or with hygienic requirements. It is suitable
VEGAPULS 63 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART 11
3 Product description
for applications in storage tanks, process vessels, dosing vessels and
reactors.
The standard electronics enables the use of instruments in products
with an εr value ≥1.8. The electronics version with increased sensitiv-
ity also enables use of the instrument in applications with very poor
reflective properties or products with an εr value ≥1.5. The values that
can actually be reached depend on the measuring conditions and the
antenna system i.e. the standpipe or bypass tube.
Functional principle The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the product
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 appropri-
ate output signal and outputted as measured value.
3.3 Packaging, transport and storage
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.
The packaging consists of environment-friendly, recyclable card-
board. For special versions, PE foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose
of the packaging material via specialised recycling companies.
Transport Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
Transport inspection The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-
cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Storage Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
• Not in the open
• Dry and dust free

VEGADIS adapter The VEGADIS adapter is an accessory part for sensors with double
chamber housings. It enables the connection of VEGADIS 81 to the
sensor housing via an M12 x 1 plug.
VEGADIS 82 VEGADIS 82 is suitable for measured value indication and adjustment
of sensors with HART protocol. It is looped into the 4 … 20 mA/HART
signal cable.
PLICSMOBILE T81 The PLICSMOBILE T81 is an external GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit
for transmission of measured values and for remote parameter adjust-
ment of HART sensors.
PLICSMOBILE 81 PLICSMOBILE 81 is an internal GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio unit for
HART sensors for transmitting measured values and for remote
parameterization.
Overvoltage protection The overvoltage arrester B81-35 is used instead of the terminals in
the single or double chamber housing.
Protective cover The protective cover protects the sensor housing against soiling and
intense heat from solar radiation.
Flanges Screwed flanges are available in different versions according to the
following standards: DIN 2501, EN 1092-1, BS 10, ASME B 16.5,
JIS B 2210-1984, GOST 12821-80.

4.1 General instructions
Screwing in Devices with threaded fitting are screwed into the process fitting with
a suitable wrench via the hexagon.
See chapter "Dimensions" for wrench size.
Warning:
The housing or the electrical connection may not be used for screw-
ing in! Depending on the device version, tightening can cause dam-
age, e. g. to the rotation mechanism of the housing.
Protection against mois- Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
ture measures:
• Use a suitable connection cable (see chapter "Connecting to
power supply")
• Tighten the cable gland or plug connector
• Lead the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry or
plug connector
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high
humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled
or heated vessels.
Note:
Make sure that the degree of contamination specified in chapter
"Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions.
Note:
Make sure that during installation or maintenance no moisture or dirt
can get inside the instrument.
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.
Process conditions Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissible process conditions. You can find detailed information on
the process conditions in chapter "Technical data" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Process fitting
• Process seal
36511-EN-200427
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasion and mechanical influences

Polarisation The emitted radar impulses of the radar sensor are electromagnetic
waves. The polarisation is the direction of the electrical wave compo-
nent. By turning the instrument in the connection flange or mounting
boss, the polarisation can be used to reduce the effects of false
echoes.
The position of the polarisation is marked on the process fitting of the
instrument.

Reference plane The measuring range of VEGAPULS 63 begins physically at the end
of the antenna; the adjustment, however, begins at the reference
plane. The reference plane is different depending on the sensor ver-
sion.
• Flange with encapsulated antenna system: The reference
plane is the lower edge of the flange plating
• Hygienic fittings: The reference plane is the highest contact point
between sensor process fitting and welded socket
The following graphic shows the position of the reference plane with
different sensor versions.

Installation position When mounting the VEGAPULS 63, keep a distance of at least
200 mm (7.874 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the
36511-EN-200427
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 suppression during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on

the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating
the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup.

(7.87")

In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the bottom.

Inflowing medium Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure
that you detect the medium surface, not the inflowing product.

Mounting socket Flush mounting
The best way to mount the sensor, also with respect to cleanability,
is flush on a block flange (flange without socket piece) or through a
hygienic fitting.
Mounting on socket
If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount
VEGAPULS 63 on a socket piece. You will find recommended values
for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should
be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded. Then carry out a
false signal suppression.

Sealing to the process The VEGAPULS 63 with flange and encapsulated antenna system,
the PTFE washer of the antenna encapsulation serves also as pro-
cess seal.

However, PTFE-plated flanges have a preload loss over time at high
temperature changes.
Note:
Therefore, use disc springs to compensate for this preload loss during
mounting. They are included in the scope of delivery of the instrument
and are intended for the flange screws.
To seal effectively, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
1. Make sure the number of flange screws corresponds to the num-
ber of flange holes
2. Use of disc springs as previously described
