Частые вопросы
- На каком принципе работает VEGAPULS 6X?
- Датчик излучает частотно-модулированный непрерывный радарный сигнал (FMCW). Отражённый от продукта сигнал принимается антенной как эхо со сдвинутой частотой; изменение частоты пропорционально расстоянию и преобразуется в уровень.
- Какое минимальное расстояние от стенки резервуара нужно при монтаже?
- Не менее 200 мм (7.87") от стенки сосуда — как для жидкостей, так и для сыпучих сред. Если выдержать нельзя, следует выполнить подавление ложных сигналов при настройке.
- Как настроить прибор без дисплея?
- Через встроенный Bluetooth LE со смартфона/планшета (iOS/Android) или ПК (Windows) через приложение VEGA Tools, либо по сигнальному кабелю 4…20 мА/HART через интерфейсный адаптер VEGACONNECT и PACTware/DTM.
- Можно ли мыть корпус аппаратом высокого давления?
- Для корпусов стандартного исполнения — нет: может быть повреждён фильтрующий элемент вентиляции и влага попадёт внутрь. Для таких применений доступны версии с защитой IP69.
- Что делать при монтаже на утеплённом сосуде с высокой температурой?
- Приборы для температур от 200 °C имеют распорную втулку для температурной развязки между процессным присоединением и корпусом электроники. Втулка должна входить в изоляцию максимум на 40 мм, иначе развязка неэффективна и возможны повреждения электроники.
- Какой класс источника питания требуется в США и Канаде?
- При установке в США и Канаде должен использоваться источник питания Class 2; монтаж должен соответствовать NEC (NFPA 70) в США и CEC Part I в Канаде.

5.1 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
• Align the housing so that the cable gland points downwards or to
the side
• 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
Permissible process The permissible process pressure range is specified on the type
pressure (MWP) - Device label with "MWP" (Maximum Working Pressure). The MWP takes into
account the component with the lowest pressure and may be applied
permenently. This specification refers to a reference temperature of
+20 °C (+68 °F).
66190-EN-260813
In addition, a temperature derating of the process fitting, e. g. with
flanges, can limit the permissible process pressure range according
to the respective standard.
VEGAPULS 6X • Two-wire: 4 … 20 mA/HART 15
5 Mounting
Note:
To prevent damage to the device, a test pressure may only briefly
exceed the specified MWP by 1.5 times at reference temperature.
Permissible process The permissible process pressure range is stated on the type label.
pressure (MWP) - Mount- The instrument should only be operated with these pressures if the
ing accessory mounting accessory used also fulfils these values. This should be en-
sured by suitable flanges, welded sockets, tension rings with Clamp
connections, sealings, etc.
Second Line of Defense As a standard feature, the VEGAPULS 6X 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.
5.2 Housing features
Filter element The filter element in the housing is used for ventilation of the housing.
For effective ventilation, the filter element must always be free of
deposits. Therefore, mount the device so that the filter element is
protected against deposits.
Note:
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to clean housings in standard
types of protection. The filter element could be damaged and mois-
ture could penetrate the housing.
For applications with high-pressure cleaners, the device is available
with the appropriate IP69 protection.

Information:
For devices in protection class IP66/IP68 (1 bar), ventilation is pro-
vided by a capillary in the fixed cable. In these devices, a blind plug is
installed in the housing instead of the filter element.
Housing orientation The housing of VEGAPULS 6X can be rotated completely by 360°.
This enables optimal reading of the display and easy cable entry.
For housings made of plastic or electropolished stainless steel, this is
done without tools.
For housings made of aluminium or stainless steel (precision cast-
ing), a locking screw must be loosened for turning, see the following

Proceed as follows:
1. Loosen locking screw (hexagon size 2.5)
2. Turn housing into requested position
3. Re-tighten the locking screw (torque see chapter "Technical
data").
Note:
By rotating the housing, polarisation changes. For this reason,
please also observe the notes on polarisation in chapter "Mounting
instructions".
Cover catch With the aluminium and stainless steel housing (precision casting),
the housing cover can be secured with a screw. This protects the
device against unauthorised opening of the cover.

The housing cover is unlocked in the opposite way.
Note:
The locking screw has two holes drilled through the head. Thus it can
also be sealed.
5.3 Mounting preparations - Horn antenna
Depending on the device version, the horn antenna may have a
larger diameter than the process fitting (e.g. flange). In this case, the
antenna must be removed before installation.

5.5 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
Note:
For safe operation of the device, stable, permanent mounting on a
load-bearing surface (concrete, wood, steel, etc.) is requireПоказано початок документа. Повний текст — у PDF за посиланням вище.
