1 For your safety
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 65 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.
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.
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.
1.4 General safety instructions
This is a high-tech instrument requiring the strict observance of stand-
ard regulations and guidelines.The user must take note of the safety
instructionsinthisoperatinginstructionsmanual,thecountry-specic
installation standards as well as all prevailing safety regulations and
accident prevention rules.
Depending on the model, the emitting frequencies of all radar sensors
are either in the C or K band range.The low transmitting power lies far
below the internationally permitted limit values. When the instrument
is used correctly, it presents no danger to human health. It may be
operated without restriction outside of closed metallic vessels.
Theinstrumentmustonlybeoperatedinatechnicallyawlessand
reliable condition.The operator is responsible for trouble-free opera-
tion 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.
1.5 Safety label on the instrument
The safety approval markings and safety tips on the device must be
observed.

1.6 CE conformity
ThedevicefullsthelegalrequirementsoftheapplicableECguide-
lines.ByaxingtheCEmarking,weconrmsuccessfultestingofthe
product.

Electromagnetic compatibility
The instruments are designed for use in an industrial environment.
Nevertheless, electromagnetic interference from electrical conductors
and radiated emissions must be taken into account, as is usual with a
class A instrument according to EN 61326-1. If the instrument is used
inadierentenvironment,itselectromagneticcompatibilitywithother
devices must be ensured by suitable measures.
1.7 FulllmentofNAMURrecommendations
NAMURistheautomationtechnologyuserassociationintheprocess
industryinGermany.ThepublishedNAMURrecommendationsare
acceptedasthestandardineldinstrumentation.
ThedevicefullstherequirementsofthefollowingNAMURrecom-
mendations:
• NE 21 – Electromagnetic compatibility of equipment
• NE 43 – Signal level for malfunction information from measuring
transducers
• NE53–Compatibilityofelddevicesanddisplay/adjustment
components
For further information see www.namur.de.
1.8 FCC and IC conformity (only for USA/Canada)
VEGAPULS 65 is FCC and IC approved:
• FCC ID: O6QPULS6566
• IC: 3892A-PS6566
ModicationsnotexpresslyapprovedbyVEGAwillleadtoexpiryof
the operating licence according to FCC.
VEGAPULS 65 is in conformity with part 15 of the FCC regulations.
Take note of the respective operating regulations:
• This device may not cause interference, and
• The device must be resistant to interference signals, including
such that may cause undesired operating states of the device
The instrument was tested and meets the limit values for a digital
instrument of class B, according to part 15 of the FCC regulations.
Thelimitvaluesarepredenedtoensureprotectionagainstinterfer-
ing emissions during operation in industrial environments.
The instrument can generate, use and emit high frequency energy
and can generate interfering emissions if not used as described in the
operator's manual. Because interfering emissions have to be reck-
oned with when the instrument is used in residential areas, the user
must make sure necessary countermeasures are implemented.
