3.2 Principle of operation

Application area VEGAPULS 66 is a radar sensor in C-band (emitting frequency approx. 6 GHz) for continuous level measurement. A special version of VEGAPULS 66 is available for each area of application. The version with ange and horn antenna is particularly suitable for measurement of liquids and solids under extremely dicult process conditions such as buildup, condensate and foam generation as well as vigorous product movement.
28438-EN-090305
3 Product description With the version without antenna horn, the antenna system is formed in conjunction with a measuring tube (surge or bypass tube). This version is particularly suitable for measurement of solvents and liquid gases. For pressures up to 160 bar (2320 psi) and temperatures up to 400 C (752 F) there are graphite seals and ceramic antenna cones available. Functional principle The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reected by the product and received by the antenna as echoes. The running 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 appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value. Two-wire electronics 4 20 mA/HART for power supply and measured value transmission over the same cable. The supply voltage range can dier depending on the instrument version. The data for power supply are specied in chapter "Technical data". The backlight of the indicating and adjustment module is powered by the sensor. The prerequisite for this is a supply voltage at a certain level. The exact voltage specications are stated in chapter "Technical data". The optional heating requires its own operating voltage. You can nd detailed information in the supplementary instructions manual "Heating for indicating and adjustment module". This function is generally not available for approved instruments.

4.1 General instructions
Mounting position Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and connecting as well as later retrotting of an indicating and adjustment module. The housing can be rotated by 330 without the use of any tools. You can also install the indicating and adjustment module in four dierent positions (each displaced by 90). Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain o. This applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.

Suitability for process conditions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument in contact with the measured product, especially the sensor element, process seal and process tting, are suitable for the existing process conditions such as process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical properties of the medium. You can nd the specications in chapter "Technical data" in the or on the type label.
4.2 Mounting instructions

Mounting position When mounting VEGAPULS 66, keep a distance of at least 500 mm (19.69 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the 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 keep this distance you should carry out a false echo storage before setup. This applies mainly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In this case, we recommend repeating a false echo storage later with existing buildup.

Tip: VEGAPULS 66 is optionally also available with antenna extension. Hence the antenna length can be selected such that the antenna end protrudes 10 mm (0.4 in) out of the socket. Sensor orientation Align the sensor in liquids as vertical as possible to the product surface to achieve optimum measurement.
Fig. 10: Alignment in liquids
Vessel installations
The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no other equipment or xtures cross the path of the microwave signals. Vessel installations such as, for example, ladders, limit switches, heating spirals, struts, etc. can cause false echoes that get superimposed on the useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring site that the radar sensor has a "clear view" to the measured product.
28438-EN-090305
In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage should be carried out during setup.
ca. 10 mm
17
4 Mounting If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures. Small, inclined sheet metal baes above the installations scatter the radar signals and prevent direct interfering reections.
Fig. 11: Cover smooth proles with deectors
Agitators
If there are agitators in the vessel, a false echo storage should be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfering reections from the agitators are saved with the blades in dierent positions.
Fig. 12: Agitators
Foam generation
Through the action of lling, stirring and other processes in the vessel, dense foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may form on the product surface. If foams are causing measurement errors, the biggest possible radar antenna should be used.
28438-EN-090305
As an alternative, sensors with guided microwave can be used. These are unaected by foam generation and are best suited for such applications.

4 Mounting Measurement in the standpipe (surge or bypass tube) By using a standpipe, the inuence of vessel installations and turbulence can be excluded. Under these prerequisites, the measurement of products with low dielectric values (from DK value 1.6) is possible. Note: Measurement in a standpipe is not recommended for very adhesive products. Surge or bypass tubes must extend all the way down to the requested min. level, as measurement is only possible within the tube. Surge pipe Make sure you provide the necessary upper vent hole in the surge pipe. The hole must be aligned so that it and the polarisation marking on the sensor ange are in the same plane (see illustration: "Pipe antenna system in a tank").

If possible, the diameter of the sensor antenna should correspond to the inner diameter of the tube. With VEGAPULS 66 this is approx. 50 mm (1.969 in) depending on the antenna. The sensor can be used with tube diameters between 50 250 mm (1.969 9.843 in). Bypass tube As an alternative to the surge pipe in the vessel, a tube system outside of the vessel is possible as a bypass tube. Select during setup the function "Bypass tube".

When the sensor is mounted on a bypass tube, the distance from VEGAPULS 66 to the upper tube connection should be approx. 500 mm (19.69 in) or more. In case of extremely rough tube inner walls, you should use an inserted tube (tube in tube) or a radar sensor with tube antenna.

5.1 Preparing the connection
Note safety instructions Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
l l
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should be installed
Tip: We recommend using VEGA overvoltage arresters B63-48 and SB 62-36G.X. Take note of safety instructions for Ex applications Select power supply In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate regulations, conformity and type approval certicates of the sensors and power supply units. Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire cable. The voltage supply range can dier depending on the instrument version. The data for power supply are specied in chapter "Technical data". Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the mains circuits according to DIN VDE 0106 part 101. The VEGA power supply units VEGATRENN 149A Ex, VEGASTAB 690 as well as all VEGAMETs meet this requirement. Keep in mind the following additional inuences on the operating voltage:
l
Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under nominal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault message) Inuence of additional instruments in the circuit (see load values in chapter "Technical data")
Selecting connection cable
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should be used. Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 9 mm (0.2 0.35 in) ensures the seal eect of the cable gland. If you are using cable with a dierent diameter or cross-section, exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland. We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART multidrop mode.
28438-EN-090305
Cable gland NPT
On the instrument with cable entry NPT and plastic housing there is a metallic " threaded insert moulded into the plastic housing.
22
5 Connecting to power supply Caution: No grease should be used when screwing the NPT cable gland or steel tube into the threaded insert. Standard grease can contain additives that corrode the connection between threaded insert and housing. This would inuence the stability of the connection and the tightness of the housing. If screened cable is necessary, connect the cable screen on both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the screen must be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the outside of the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low impedance). If potential equalisation currents are expected, the connection on the processing side must be made via a ceramic capacitor (e. g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective eect against high frequency interference signals remains. Select connection cable for Ex applications Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex applications. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisation currents ow over the cable screen. In case of grounding on both sides this can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential equalisation.

6.4 Setup procedure

Address setting HARTMultidrop In HART-Multidrop mode (several sensors on one input) the address must be set before continuing with the parameter adjustment. You will nd a detailed description in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and adjustment module" or in the online help of PACTware or DTM.
HART mode Standard Address 0
Parameter adjustment
As VEGAPULS 66 is a distance measuring instrument, the distance from the sensor to the product surface is measured. To have the real product level displayed, an allocation of the measured distance to the percentage height must be made. To carry out this adjustment, the distance is entered with full and empty vessel. If these values are not known, an adjustment with the distance values, e.g. 10 % and 90 % is also possible. Starting point for these distance specications is always the seal surface of the thread or ange. With these settings, the real level is calculated. Furthermore the operating range of the sensor is limited from maximum to the required range. The real 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. Caution: If there is a separation of liquids with dierent dielectric values in the vessel, e.g. from condensation, VEGAPULS 66 can detect under certain circumstances only the medium with the higher dielectric value. Keep in mind that interfaces can cause faulty measurements. If you want to measure the total height of both liquids reliably, please contact our service department or use an instrument specially designed for interface measurement. In the main menu item "Basic adjustment", the individual submenu items should be selected one after the other and provided with the correct parameter values. Start your parameter adjustment with the following menu items of the basic adjustment:
Carrying out min. adjustment
Proceed as follows: 1 Move from the measured value display to the main menu by pushing [OK].
28438-EN-090305

Basic adjustment Display Diagnostics Service Info
Select the menu item "Basic adjustment" with [->] and conrm with [OK]. Now the menu item "Min. adjustment" is displayed.
Min. adjustment 0.00 % = 5.000 m(d) 4.000 m(d)
Prepare the % value for editing with [OK] and set the cursor to the requested position with [->]. Set the requested percentage value with [+] and save with [OK]. The cursor jumps now to the distance value. Enter the suitable distance value in m for the empty vessel (e.g. distance from the sensor to the vessel bottom) corresponding to the percentage value. Save the settings with [OK] and move to "Max. adjustment" with [>].
5 Carrying out max. adjustment
Proceed as follows:
Max. adjustment 100.00 % = 1.000 m(d) 2.000 m(d)
Prepare the % value for editing with [OK] and set the cursor to the requested position with [->]. Set the requested percentage value with [+] and save with [OK]. The cursor jumps now to the distance value. Enter the appropriate distance value in m (corresponding to the percentage value) for the full vessel. Keep in mind that the max. level must lie below the dead band. Save the settings with [OK] and move to "Medium selection" with [->].
3 Medium selection
28438-EN-090305
Each product has dierent reective properties. In addition, there are various interfering factors which have to be taken into account: agitated product surfaces and foam generation (with liquids); dust generation, material cones and echoes from the vessel wall (with solids). To adapt the sensor to these dierent conditions, you should rst select "Liquid" or "Solid".
35
Liquid
According to the conductivity and the dielectric value of liquids, the reection properties can dier considerably. Therefore additional options such as "Solvent", "Chem. mixture" and "Water based" are oered below the menu item Liquid. With solids, you can also choose between "Powder/Dust", "Granular/ Pellets" or "Ballast/Pebbels". Through this additional selection, the sensor is adapted perfectly to the product and measurement reliability, particularly in products with bad reective properties, is considerably increased. Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys, save your settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key. Vessel form Apart from the medium, the vessel shape can also inuence the measurement. To adapt the sensor to these measuring conditions, this menu item oers dierent options depending on whether liquid or solid is selected. With "Liquids" these are "Storage tank", "Stilling tube", "Open vessel" or "Stirred vessel", with "Solid", "Silo" or "Bunker".
Vessel form Storage tank
Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys, save your settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key. Linearisation curve A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume does not increase linearly with the level - e. g. with a cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed for these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level percentage and vessel volume. By activating the appropriate curve, the volume percentage of the vessel is displayed correctly. If the volume should not be displayed in percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling can be also set in the menu item "Display".
Linearisation curve linear
28438-EN-090305
Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys, save your settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key.
36
6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM Caution: Note the following, if VEGAPULS 66 is used as part of an overll protection system according to WHG: If a linearisation curve is selected, the measuring signal is no longer compulsorily linear proportional to the level. This must be taken into consideration by the user, particularly when adjusting the switching point on the level switch. In this menu item you can enter an unambiguous designation for the sensor, e.g. the measurement loop name or the tank or product designation. In digital systems and in the documentation of larger plants, a singular designation should be entered for exact identication of individual measuring sites.
Sensor-TAG Sensor

With this menu item, the Basic adjustment is nished and you can now jump to the main menu with the [ESC] key. Gating out of false signals High sockets or vessel installations, such as e. g. struts or agitators as well as buildup and weld joints on the vessel walls cause interfering reections which can impair the measurement. A false echo storage detects and marks these false echoes, so that they are no longer taken into account for the level measurement. A false echo memory should be created with low level so that all potential interfering reections will be detected.
Gating out of false signals
Change now?
Proceed as follows: 1 2 3 Move from the measured value display to the main menu by pushing [OK]. Select the menu item "Service" with [->] and conrm with [OK]. Now the menu item "False signal suppression" is displayed. Conrm "False signal suppression - Change now" with [OK] and select in the below menu "Create new". Enter the actual distance from the sensor to the product surface. All false signals in this area are detected by the sensor and saved after conrming with [OK].
28438-EN-090305
Note: Check the distance to the product surface, because if an incorrect (too large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as false signal. The lling level would then no longer be detectable in this area. VEGAPULS 66 4 20 mA/HART two-wire 37
6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM Extended setting/Quick level change The menu item "Extended setting" oers the possibility to optimise VEGAPULS 66 for applications in which the level changes very quickly. For this reason, select the function "Quick level change > 1 m/ min.".
Extended setting
quick level change > 1 m/min.
Note: Since with the function "Quick level change > 1 m/min." the generation of an average value of the signal processing is considerably reduced, false reections by agitators or vessel installations can cause measured value uctuations. A false echo memory is thus recommended. Copy sensor data This function enables reading out parameter adjustment data as well as writing parameter adjustment data into the sensor via the indicating and adjustment module. A description of the function is available in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and adjustment module". The following data are read out or written with this function:

6.6 Saving the parameter adjustment data

It is recommended noting the adjusted data, e.g. in this operating instructions manual and archive them afterwards. They are hence available for multiple use or service purposes. If VEGAPULS 66 is equipped with an indicating and adjustment module, the most important data can be read out of the sensor into indicating and adjustment module. The procedure is described in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and adjustment module" in the menu item "Copy sensor data". The data remain there permanently even if the sensor power supply fails. If it is necessary to exchange the sensor, the indicating and adjustment module is inserted into the replacement instrument and the data are written into the sensor under the menu item "Copy sensor data".

Inuence of the superimposed gas and pressure to the accuracy The spreading speed of the radar impulses in gas or vapour above the product is reduced by high pressures. This eect depends on the superimposed gas or vapour and increases with low temperatures. The following chart shows the deviation caused by some typical gases or vapours. The stated values refer to the distance. Positive values mean that the measured distance is too high, negative values that the measured distance is too small.
