Быстрый старт

  1. Смонтируйте датчик на расстоянии не менее 200 мм от стенки сосуда, вне потока заполняемой среды; направьте антенну перпендикулярно поверхности жидкости.
  2. При резьбовом монтаже обеспечьте выступ конца антенны из штуцера минимум на 5 мм; при длинных штуцерах выполните подавление ложных сигналов.
  3. Для фланцевого исполнения используйте тарельчатые пружины под винты фланца и затяните их требуемым моментом (см. «Технические данные»).
  4. Подключите двухпроводный кабель питания/сигнала (подключение только в обесточенном состоянии); при ожидаемых перенапряжениях установите ограничители перенапряжения.
  5. Настройте прибор через модуль индикации и настройки (Quick setup / Extended setup) либо через PACTware с адаптером VEGACONNECT.
  6. При наличии мешалок выполните подавление ложных сигналов при работающих мешалках.

Частые вопросы

Какой выходной сигнал у VEGAPULS 64?
Двухпроводный аналоговый сигнал `4…20 мА` с цифровой связью по HART; питание и сигнал передаются по одному двухпроводному кабелю.
Можно ли ставить VEGAPULS 64 вне закрытого сосуда?
Да, но только в исполнении с резьбой G1½ или 1½ NPT с интегрированной рупорной антенной, стационарно, с антенной, направленной строго вертикально вниз; в ЕС место установки должно быть не ближе 4 км от станций радиоастрономии.
Какое минимальное расстояние от стенки сосуда при монтаже?
Не менее 200 мм (7.874 in). Если соблюсти его невозможно, необходимо выполнить подавление ложных сигналов при настройке.
Какие аксессуары поддерживаются для настройки?
Модуль индикации и настройки PLICSCOM (опционально с Bluetooth), интерфейсный адаптер VEGACONNECT для USB ПК, внешние блоки индикации VEGADIS 81 и VEGADIS 82 (врезается в линию 4…20 мА/HART), радиомодули PLICSMOBILE T81/81.
Что делать при наличии мешалок или внутренних конструкций в сосуде?
Выполнить подавление ложных сигналов при настройке; для мешалок — при вращающихся лопатках, чтобы помехи были записаны в разных положениях. Крупные конструкции можно экранировать наклонными металлическими отражателями.
Как уплотняется фланцевое исполнение с герметизированной антенной системой?
Прокладка PTFE самой антенной герметизации служит процессным уплотнением; под винты фланца ставятся входящие в комплект тарельчатые пружины для компенсации потери предварительного натяга при перепадах температуры, момент затяжки — по главе «Технические данные».

                                              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:

                                              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.

                           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.

                                                                                                      51141-EN-210219

                                              • 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.

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.

                                                                  1

                                              The mounting strap is supplied unassembled (optionally) and must be
                                              screwed to the sensor before setup with three hexagon socket screws

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

                        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,

                                                                                                                 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.

                                              In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
