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.
Youcannddetailedinformationabouttheareaofapplicationin
chapter "Product description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly
usedaccordingtothespecicationsintheoperatinginstructions
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-specichazards,e.g.vesseloverllordamagetosystem
components through incorrect mounting or adjustment. Also the pro-
tectivecharacteristicsoftheinstrumentcanbeinuenced.
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
technicallyawlessandreliablecondition.Theoperatorisresponsible
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-
traryconversionsormodicationsareexplicitlyforbidden.
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.

3.1 Mounting preparations
The instrument is also available in versions with an antenna whose
diameterislargerthantheprocesstting(thread,ange).Insuch
casestheantennamustbedisconnectedfromtheprocesstting
before mounting.
Proceed as follows:
1. Loosenthehexagonsocketscrews(3)ontheantennasocket
withanAllenwrench(size3)
2. Remove the antenna (4)
Note:
The plastic cone may not be pulled out of the antenna socket.
3. Insert the antenna from below into the vessel socket and secure it
againstfallingo
4. Retightentheantennawithhexagonscrewstotheantenna
socket;max.torqueseechapter"Technical data"
Note:
Theradarsensorwithrinsingairconnectionorwithantennaexten-
sionhasanotchontheantennasocketforpolarization.Thisnotch
mustbealignedwiththemarkingontheprocesstting.

4 Connecting to power supply
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. Removeapprox.10cm(4in)ofthecablemantle(signaloutput),
stripapprox.1cm(0.4in)insulationfromtheendsoftheindi-
vidual wires
4. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
Fig. 5: Connection steps 5 and 6
5. Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan
Information:
Solidcoresaswellasexiblecoreswithwireendsleevesareinsert-
eddirectlyintotheterminalopenings.Incaseofexiblecoreswithout
end sleeves, press the terminal from above with a small screwdriver,
the terminal opening is then free. When the screwdriver is released,
the terminal closes again.
