4.1 Mounting instructions
Polarisation Radar sensors for level measurement emit electromagnetic waves.
The polarisation is the direction of the electrical share of these waves.
It is identifiable by a mark on the housing, see the following drawing:
1
Fig. 1: Position of the polarisation
1 Nose for marking the direction of polarisation
Turning the housing changes the polarisation and thus also the effect
of false echoes on the measured value.
Note:
Therefore, pay attention to the position of the polarisation when
mounting or when making subsequent changes. Fix the housing to
prevent a change in the metrological properties.
Mounting position - When mounting the device, keep a distance of at least 200 mm
liquids (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,
these can be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter
"Setup").
Note:
If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false
signal suppression during setup. This applies especially if buildup on
the vessel wall is to be expected.2)
> 200 mm
(7.87")
Fig. 2: 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
66375-EN-260813
down to the bottom.
2)
In this case, it is recommended to repeat the false signal suppression at a
later time with existing buildup.

6.2 Parameter adjustment
6.2.1 Lock/Unlock adjustment
Lock/Unlock adjustment In this menu item you safeguard the sensor parameters against unau-
(non-SIL) thorized or unintentional modifications.
Information:
The non-SIL version of the device is delivered without activated ac-
cess protection. If necessary, the access protection can be activated
and the device locked.
When the adjustment is blocked, only the following adjustment func-
tions are possible without entering the device code:
• Select menu items and show data
66375-EN-260813
• Read data from the sensor into the display and adjustment module
Caution:
When the adjustment is blocked, the adjustment via other systems is
also blocked.
VEGAPULS 6X • Two-wire: 4 … 20 mA/HART 13
6 Set up with the display and adjustment module
Releasing the sensor adjustment is also possible in any menu item by
entering the device code.
Lock/Unlock adjustment In this menu item you safeguard the sensor parameters against unau-
(SIL) thorized or unintentional modifications.
Information:
The SIL version of the device is delivered in locket state.
Safe parameterization:
To avoid possible errors during parameterization in a non-safe user
environment, a verification procedure is used that makes it possible
to detect parameterization errors reliably. For this, safety-relevant
parameters must be verified before they are stored in the device. In
normal operating condition, the instrument is also locked against
parameter changes through unauthorized access.
Information:
If the device code has been changed and forgotten, the enclosed
information sheet "Access Protection" provides an emergency device
code.
Character string comparison and serial number:
You first have to carry out the character string comparison. This is
used to check the character respresentation.
Confirm if the two character strings are identical. The verification texts
are provided in German and in the case of all other menu languages,
in English.
Afterwards you confirm that the serial number of your instrument was
carried over correctly. This is used to check device communication.
In the next step, the instrument checks the data of the measurement
and decides by means of the evaluation results if a functions test
is required. If a function test is necessary, the following message is
displayed.
66375-EN-260813
14 VEGAPULS 6X • Two-wire: 4 … 20 mA/HART
6 Set up with the display and adjustment module
In this case, you have to carry out a function test.
Function test:
During a function test, you have to test the safety function of the
instrument in the vessel with the original medium.
You can find the detailed sequence of the function test in chapter
"Functional safety (SIL)" of the operating instructions.
Verify parameter:
All safety-relevant parameters must be verified after a change. After
the function test, all modified, safety-relevant parameters will be
listed. Confirm the modified values one after the other.
If the described process of parameter adjustment was run through
completely and correctly, the instrument will be locked and hence
ready for operation.
Otherwise the instrument remains in the released and hence unsafe
condition.
Note:
When the adjustment is blocked, the adjustment via other systems is
also blocked.
6.2.2 Setup
Type of medium This menu item allows you to adapt the sensor to the different meas-
uring conditions of the media "Liquid" or "Bulk solid".
The corresponding application is selected in the following menu item
"Application".
Vessel height Through this selection the operating range of the sensor is adapted
to the vessel height. Hence the measurement reliability is increased
considerably under different basic conditions.

VEGAPULS 6X • Two-wire: 4 … 20 mA/HART 15
6 Set up with the display and adjustment module
Note:
Regardless of this, the min. adjustment must also be carried out (see
following section).
Adjustment Since the radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, it is the
distance from the sensor to the medium surface that is measured. To
indicate the actual level, the measured distance must be assigned to
a certain height percentage (min./max. adjustment).
During adjustment, enter the respective measuring distance when the
vessel is full and empty (see the following examples):

3 Reference plane
If these values are not known, and adjustment can for example be
carried out with the distances of 10 % and 90 %.
The starting point for these distance specifications is always the refer-
ence plane, e.g. the sealing surface of the thread or flange. Informa-
tion on the reference plane can be found in the chapters "Mounting
instructions" resp. "Technical data". The actual filling height is then
calculated on the basis of these entries.
The actual product level during this adjustment is not important,
because the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without
changing the product level. These settings can be made ahead of
time without the instrument having to be installed.
Distance A (max. value) Proceed as follows:
1. Select with [->] the menu item Distance A (max. value) and con-
firm with [OK].
2. Edit the distance value with [OK] and set the cursor to the re-
quested position with [->].
66375-EN-260813
3. Adjust the requested distance value for 100 % with [+] and store
with [OK].

4. Move with [ESC] and [->] to the min. adjustment
Distance B (min. value) Proceed as follows:
1. Select with [->] the menu item "Distance B (min. value)" and
confirm with [OK].
2. Edit the distance value with [OK] and set the cursor to the re-
quested position with [->].
3. Set the requested distance value for 0 % (e.g. distance from the
sensor up to the vessel bottom) with [+] and save with [OK]. The
cursor now jumps to the distance value.

system requirements:
• Operating system: iOS 13 or newer
• Operating system: Android 8.0 or newer
• Bluetooth 4.0 LE or newer
Download the VEGA Tools app from the "Apple App Store", "Goog-
le Play Store" or "Baidu Store" to your smartphone or tablet.
Make sure that the Bluetooth function of the display and adjustment
module is activated. For this, the switch on the bottom side must be
set to "On". The default setting is "On".

7.2 Connecting
Connecting Start the adjustment app and select the function "Setup". The smart-
phone/tablet searches automatically for Bluetooth-capable instru-
ments in the area.
The message "Connecting …" is displayed.
The devices found are listed and the search is automatically contin-
ued.
Select the requested instrument in the device list.
Authenticate When establishing the connection for the first time, the operating tool
and the sensor must authenticate each other. After the first correct
authentication, each subsequent connection is made without a new
66375-EN-260813
authentication query.
Enter Bluetooth access For authentication, enter the 6-digit Bluetooth access code in the next
code menu window. You can find the code on the information sheet "Pins
and Codes" in the device packaging.

Fig. 14: Enter Bluetooth access code
Note:
If an incorrect code is entered, the code can only be entered again
after a delay time. This time gets longer after each incorrect entry.
The message "Waiting for authentication" is displayed on the smart-
phone/tablet.
Connected After connection, the sensor adjustment menu is displayed on the
respective adjustment tool.
If the Bluetooth connection is interrupted, e.g. due to a too large
distance between the two devices, this is displayed on the adjustment
tool. The message disappears when the connection is restored.
Change device code Parameter adjustment of the device is only possible if the parameter
protection is deactivated or the adjustment released. When delivered,
parameter protection is deactivated by default and can be activated
at any time.
It is recommended to enter a personal 6-digit device code. To do this,
go to menu "Extended functions", "Access protection", menu item
"Protection of the parameter adjustment".
7.3 Parameter adjustment
Enter parameters The sensor adjustment menu is divided into two areas, which are
arranged next to each other or one below the other, depending on the
adjustment tool.
• Navigation section
• Menu item display
The selected menu item can be recognized by the colour change.
