2For your safety
2.1Authorised personnel
All operations described in this operating instructions manual
must be carried out only by trained specialist personnel
authorised by the plant operator.
During work on and with the device the required personal
protection equipment must always be worn.
2.2Appropriate use
VEGAFLEX 62 is a sensor for continuous level measurement.
You can find detailed information on the application range in
chapter "Product description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is
properly used according to the specifications in the operating
instructions manual as well as possible supplementary
instructions.
For safety and warranty reasons,any invasive work on the
device beyond that described in the operating instructions
manual may be carried out only by personnel authorised by the
manufacturer.Arbitrary conversions or modifications are
explicitly forbidden.
2.3Warning about misuse
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to
application-specific hazards,e.g.vessel overfill or damage to
system components through incorrect mounting or adjustment.
2.4General safety instructions
This is a high-tech instrument requiring the strict observance of
standard regulations and guidelines.The user must take note
of the safety instructions in this operating instructions manual,
the country-specific installation standards as well as all
prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules.
The instrument must only be operated in a technically flawless
and reliable condition.The operator is responsible for trouble-
free operation of the instrument.

2For your safety
31838-EN-080826

During the entire duration of use,the user is obliged to
determine the compliance of the required occupational safety
measures with the current valid rules and regulations and also
take note of new regulations.
2.5Safety approval markings and safety tips
The safety approval markings and safety tips on the device
must be observed.
2.6CE conformity
The protection goals of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC (EMC)
and the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC (LVD)are fulfilled.
Conformity has been judged according to the following
standards:
EMC:EN 61326-1:2006
(electrical instruments for control technology and laboratory
use -EMC requirements)
lEmission:Class A
lSusceptibility:Industrial areas
LVD:EN 61010-1:2001
(safety regulations for electrical measurement,control and
laboratory instruments -part 1:General requirements)
The instrument is designed for use in an industrial environ-
ment.Nevertheless,electromagnetic interference from elec-
trical conductors and radiated emissions must be taken into
account,as is usual with a class Ainstrument according to
EN 61326.If the instrument is used in a different environment,
the electromagnetic compatibility to other instruments must be
ensured by suitable measures.
2.7Fulfilling of NAMUR recommendations
With respect to interference resistance and emitted interfer-
ence,the NAMUR recommendation NE 21 is fulfilled.
With respect to compatibility,the NAMUR recommendation
NE 53 is fulfilled.This applies also to the corresponding
indicating and adjustment components.VEGA instruments are
generally upward and downward compatible.
lSensor software for DTM VEGAFLEX 62 HART,PA or FF
lDTM VEGAFLEX 62 for adjustment software PACTware
lIndicating and adjustment module for sensor software

2For your safety
31838-EN-080826

The parameter adjustment of the basic sensor functions is
independent of the software version.The range of available
functions depends on the respective software version of the
individual components.
The software version of VEGAFLEX 62 can be determined as
follows:
lvia PACTware
lon the type label of the electronics
lvia the indicating and adjustment module

2.8Safety instructions for Ex areas
Please note the Ex-specific safety information for installation
and operation in Ex areas.These safety instructions are part of
the operating instructions manual and come with the Ex-
approved instruments.
2.9Environmental instructions
Protection of the environment is one of our most important
duties.That is why we have introduced an environment
management system with the goal of continuously improving
company environmental protection.The environment man-
agement system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001.
Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environ-
mental instructions in this manual:

also find the serial number on the inside of the instrument.
3.2Principle of operation
VEGAFLEX 62 is a level sensor with cable or rod probe for
continuous level measurement.
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process
technology and can be used equally well in liquids or solids.
High frequency microwave pulses are guided along a steel
rope or a rod.Upon reaching the product surface,the
microwave pulses are reflected.The running time is evaluated
by the instrument and outputted as distance.
Four-wire electronics with separate power supply.
The supply voltage range can differ depending on the
instrument version.
Data for power supply is specified in chapter "Technical data".
Measured value transmission is carried out via the 4…20 mA/
HART output separate from power supply.
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 specifications are
stated in chapter "Technical data".
3.3Operation
VEGAFLEX 62 can be adjusted with different adjustment
media:
lwith indicating and adjustment module
lwith the suitable VEGA DTM in conjunction with an
adjustment software according to the FDT/DTM standard,
e.g.PACTware and PC
lwith manufacturer-specific adjustment programs AMS™or
PDM
lWith a HART handheld

The entered parameters are generally saved in VEGAFLEX
62,optionally also in the indicating and adjustment module or
in PACTware.
3.4Packaging,transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.
Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured
by a test according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environ-
ment-friendly,recyclable cardboard.For special versions,PE
foam or PE foil is also used.Dispose of the packaging material
via specialised recycling companies.

and stored according to the orientation and storage markings
on the outside.
Unless otherwise indicated,the packages must be stored only
under the following conditions:
lNot in the open
lDry and dust free
lNot exposed to corrosive media
lProtected against solar radiation
lAvoiding mechanical shock and vibration
lStorage and transport temperature see "Supplement -
