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.
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.

1.6 NAMUR recommendations
NAMUR is the automation technology user association in the process
industry in Germany.The published NAMUR recommendations are
acceptedasthestandardineldinstrumentation.
ThedevicefullstherequirementsofthefollowingNAMURrecom-
mendations:
• NE 43 – Signal level for fault information from measuring transduc-
ers
• NE53–Compatibilityofelddevicesanddisplay/adjustment
components
• NE107-Self-monitoringanddiagnosisofelddevices
For further information see www.namur.de.
1.7 Radio licenses for Europe
VEGAPULS WL 61
The instrument was tested according to the latest issues of the har-
monizedstandards:
• EN 302372 - Tank Level Probing Radar
• EN 302729 - Level Probing Radar
It is hence approved for use inside and outside closed vessels in
countries of the EU.
Use is also approved in EFTA countries, provided these standards
have been implemented.
For operation inside of closed vessels, the following conditions must
befullled:
• The instrument must be permanently mounted on a closed vessel
made of metal, reinforced concrete, or comparable attenuating
materials
• Flanges,processttingsandmountingaccessoriesmustensure
the microwave impermeability of the vessel and not let the radar
signal escape to the outside
• Ifnecessary,existingviewingwindowsinthevesselmustbe
coated with a microwave impermeable material (e.g. electrically
conductive coating)
• Manholesandangesonthevesselmustbeclosedandsealedto
avoid penetration of the radar signal
• The instrument should be preferably mounted on top of the vessel
with antenna orientation downward
• The instrument must only be installed and maintained by appropri-
atelyqualiedsta

For operation outside of closed vessels, the following conditions must
befullled:
• Theinstallationmustbecarriedoutbytrainedqualiedpersonnel
• The instrument must be stationary mounted and the antenna
directed vertically downward
• The mounting location must be at least 4 km away from radio
astronomy stations, unless special permission was granted by the
responsible national approval authority
• When installed within 4 to 40 km of a radio astronomy station,
the instrument must not be mounted higher than 15 m above the
ground.

Bluetooth radio module
The radio module used in the instrument for wireless Bluetooth com-
munication was tested by the manufacturer according to the latest
edition of the following standard:
• EN 300328 – Wideband transmission systems
It is hence for use inside closed vessels in countries of the EU and
EFTA.
1.8 Restrictions for the USA and Canada
The VEGAPULS WL 61 with wireless Bluetooth communication must
neitherbeoperatedintheUSAorCanadanorimportedorexported.
1.9 Radio license for USA/Canada
This approval is only valid for USA and Canada. Hence the following
textsareonlyavailableinEnglish/Frenchlanguage.
The instrument is in conformity with part 15 of the FCC regulations.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• this device may not cause harmful interference, and
• this device must accept any interference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired operation.
• the antenna must be directed vertically downward

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. 4: 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.

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 vertically with a bracket on the
ceiling.
This ensures swivelling of the sensor up to 180° for optimum orienta-
tion.

Start the "VEGA Tools" app and select the function "Setup".The
smartphone/tablet searches automatically for Bluetooth-capable
instruments in the area.
The message "Searching …" is displayed.
The found instruments will be listed on the left side of the adjustment
window. The search is continued automatically.
Select the requested instrument in the device list.

• A supplementary sheet in the sensor packaging
Note:
If an incorrect sensor PIN is entered, the PIN can only be entered
again after a delay time. This time gets longer after each incorrect
entry.
The message "Waiting for authentication" is displayed on the smart-
phone/tablet.
After connection, the sensor adjustment menu is displayed on the
respective adjustment instrument.
If the connection is interrupted, e.g. due to a too large distance be-
tween sensor and operating device, this is displayed on the operating
device.The message disappears when the connection is restored.
It is recommended to change the default setting of the sensor PIN to
your own sensor PIN. To do this, go to the menu item "Lock adjust-

5.3 Adjustment
Since a radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, the distance
from the sensor to the product surface is measured. For indication of
the real level, an allocation of the measured distance to the percent-
age height must be carried out.To perform the adjustment, enter the
