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 WL 61 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.
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 or K band range. The low emitting frequencies are far below the
internationally approved limit values. When used correctly, there is no
danger to health.

3 Mounting
3.1 Mounting versions
Most simply mount the instrument via the straining clamp. For this
purpose, the connection cable is provided with a strain relief wire of
Kevlar.
In order to avoid faulty measured values, make sure that the sensor
does not oscillate.
> 200 mm
(7.87")
Fig. 2: Mounting via a straining clamp
For a rigid mounting, a mounting bracket with opening for thread
G1½, e.g. from the VEGA product range, is recommended.The
mounting of the sensor in the bracket is carried out via a G1½ counter
nut of plastic.Take note of chapter "Mounting instructions" for the
distance to the wall.

Fig. 3: Mounting via a mounting bracket
The optional mounting strap enables sensor mounting on e.g. a ceil-
ing, wall or bracket. It is available in the following versions:
• Length 300 mm for ceiling mounting
• Length 170 mm for wall mounting
The instrument is normally mounted with a strap vertically on the
ceiling.
This ensures swivelling of the sensor up to 180° for optimum orienta-
tion.

5.1 Principle of operation and connection
TheVEGADIS82isanexternaldisplayandadjustmentunitwithout
additionalexternalenergy.
The instrument is suitable for measured value indication and adjust-
ment of sensors with HART protocol. It can be connected at any point
tothe4…20mAsignalcable.Aseparateexternalenergyisnot
required.

For parameter adjustment of the sensor via a Windows PC, the con-
gurationsoftwarePACTwareandasuitableinstrumentdriver(DTM)
according to FDT standard are required.The up-to-date PACTware
version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a DTM Collec-
tion.The DTMs can also be integrated into other frame applications
according to FDT standard.
Note:
To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you should
always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not all described
functionsareincludedinolderrmwareversions.Youcandownload
the latest instrument software from our homepage. A description of
the update procedure is also available in the Internet.
Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions manu-
al "DTMCollection/PACTware" attached to each DTM Collection and
which can also be downloaded from the Internet. Detailed descrip-
tions are available in the online help of PACTware and the DTMs.
