3.2 Principle of operation
Application area VEGAPULS 64 is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of
liquids.
The small process fittings offer particular advantages in small tanks or
tight mounting spaces. The very good signal focusing ensures the use
in vessels with many installations such as stirrers and heating spirals.
The VEGAPULS 64 is available with different antenna systems:
1 2 3
Fig. 2: Antenna systems VEGAPULS 64
1 Thread with integrated horn antenna
2 Plastic horn antenna
3 Flange with encapsulated antenna system
Functional principle The instrument emits a continuous, frequency-modulated radar signal
through its antenna. The emitted signal is reflected by the medium
and received by the antenna as an echo with modified frequency. The
frequency change is proportional to the distance and is converted into
the level.
51141-EN-210219
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

4.1 General instructions
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 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
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasion and mechanical influences
Second Line of Defense As a standard feature, the VEGAPULS 64 is separate from the pro-
cess through its plastic antenna encapsulation.
Optionally, the instrument is available with a Second Line of Defense
(SLOD), a second process separation. It is located as gas-tight
leadthrough between the process component and the electronics.
This means additional safety against penetration of the medium fron
the process into the instrument.

4.2 Mounting versions, plastic horn antenna
Mounting strap The optional mounting strap allows simple mounting of the instrument
on a wall, ceiling or boom. Especially in the case of open vessels, this

is a simple and effective way to align the sensor to the surface of the
bulk solid material.
The following versions are available:
• Length 300 mm
• Length 170 mm
Mounting strap - Ceiling The instrument is normally mounted vertically with a bracket on the
mounting ceiling.
This allows swivelling the sensor up to 180° for optimal orientation
and rotating for optimal connection.

Mounting strap - Wall As an alternative the strap mounting is carried out horizontally or
mounting obliquely.

Flange Two versions are available for mounting the instrument on a nozzle:
• Combi compression flange
• Adapter flange
Combi compression flange
The combi compression flange is suitable for different vessel flanges
DN 80, ASME 3" and JIS 80. It comes not sealed against the radar
sensor and can thus only be used unpressurized. It can be retrofitted
on instruments with single chamber housing, retrofitting to a double
chamber housing is not possible.

Adapter flange
The adapter flange is available from DN 100, ASME 4" and JIS 100. It
is permanently connected with the radar sensor and sealed.

4.3 Mounting preparations, mounting strap
The mounting strap is supplied unassembled (optionally) and must be
screwed to the sensor before setup with three hexagon socket screws
M5 x 10 and spring washers. Max. torque, see chapter " Technical
data". Required tools: Allen wrench size 4.
There are two different variants of screwing the strap to the sensor,
see following illustration:

4.4 Mounting instructions
Polarisation Radar sensors for level measurement emit electromagnetic waves.
The polarization is the direction of the electrical component of these
waves.
The polarization direction is marked by a nose on the housing, see
following drawing:
1
Fig. 11: Position of the polarisation
1 Nose for marking the direction of polarisation
Note:
When the housing is rotated, the direction of polarization changes
and hence the influence of the false echo on the measured value.
51141-EN-210219
Please keep this in mind when mounting or making changes later.
Installation position When mounting the device, keep a distance of at least 200 mm
(7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the device is installed in the center
of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However,
18 VEGAPULS 64 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART
4 Mounting
these can 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.
> 200 mm
(7.87")
Fig. 12: Mounting of the radar sensor on round vessel tops
In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
device in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the bottom.

Reference plane The measuring range of VEGAPULS 64 begins physically at the end
of the antenna. The min./max. adjustment, however, begins at the
reference plane. The reference plane is different depending on the
sensor version.
• Plastic horn antenna: The reference plane is the sealing surface
on the lower edge
• Thread with integrated horn antenna: The reference plane is
51141-EN-210219
the sealing surface at the bottom of the hexagon
• 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
