1.1 Authorised 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 protective
equipment must always be worn.
1.2 Appropriate use
VEGAPULS 62 is a sensor for continuous level measurement.
Youcannddetailedinformationabouttheareaofapplicationin
chapter "Product description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly
usedaccordingtothespecicationsintheoperatinginstructions
manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
1.3 Warning about incorrect use
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to
application-specichazards,e.g.vesseloverllordamagetosystem
components through incorrect mounting or adjustment. Also the pro-
tectivecharacteristicsoftheinstrumentcanbeinuenced.
1.4 General safety instructions
This is a state-of-the-art instrument complying with all prevailing
regulations and guidelines. The instrument must only be operated in a
technicallyawlessandreliablecondition.Theoperatorisresponsible
for the trouble-free operation of the instrument.
During the entire duration of use, the user is obliged to determine the
compliance of the necessary occupational safety measures with the
current valid rules and regulations and also take note of new regula-
tions.
The safety instructions in this operating instructions manual, the na-
tional installation standards as well as the valid safety regulations and
accident prevention rules must be observed by the user.
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. Arbi-
traryconversionsormodicationsareexplicitlyforbidden.
The safety approval markings and safety tips on the device must also
be observed.
Depending on the instrument version, the emitting frequencies are in
the C, K or W band range. The low emitting frequencies are far below
the internationally approved limit values. When used correctly, the
device poses no danger to health.

4.1 Connection
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface
adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Information:
The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the
electronics. To do this, lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver
and pull it out. When reinserting the terminal block, you should hear it
snap in.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug
3. Removeapprox.10cm(4in)ofthecablemantle(signaloutput),

them
7. Connect the screen to the internal ground terminal, connect the
outer ground terminal to potential equalisation in case of power
supply via low voltage
8. Connect the lead cable for power supply in the same way accord-
ing to the wiring plan, in addition connect the ground conductor to
the inner ground terminal when powered with mains voltage.
9. Tighten the compression nut of the cable glands.The seal ring
must completely encircle the cables

ent positions - each displaced by 90°. It is not necessary to interrupt
the power supply.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. Place the display and adjustment module on the electronics in the
desired position and turn it to the right until it snaps in.
3. Screw housing lid with inspection window tightly back on
Disassembly is carried out in reverse order.
The display and adjustment module is powered by the sensor, an ad-
ditional connection is not necessary.

The radar sensor measures the distance from the sensor to the
product surface. For indication of the real level, an allocation of the
measured distance to the percentage height must be carried out.

• High sockets
• Vessel internals such as struts
• Agitators
• Buildup or welded joints on vessel walls
Note:
A false signal suppression detects, marks and saves these false
signals so that they are no longer taken into account in the level
measurement.
This should be done with a low level so that all potential interfering
