3.2 Principle of operation
VEGASON 61 is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measure-
ment. It is suitable for liquids and solids in virtually all industries,
particularly in the water and waste water industry.
The transducer of the ultrasonic sensor transmits short ultrasonic
pulsestothemeasuredproduct.Thesepulsesarereectedby
medium surface and received back by the transducer as echoes.
The running time of the ultrasonic pulses from emission to reception
is proportional to the distance and hence the level. The determined
level is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as
measured value.
Four-wire electronics with separate power supply.
Thesupplyvoltagerangecandierdependingontheinstrument
version.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
Measuredvaluetransmissioniscarriedoutviathe4…20mA/HART
output separate from power supply.
The backlight of the display and adjustment module is powered by the
sensor. The prerequisite for this is a supply voltage at a certain level.
Theexactvoltagespecicationsarestatedinchapter"Technical
data".
3.3 Adjustment
The instrument can be adjusted with the following adjustment media:
• With the display and adjustment module
• withthesuitableVEGADTMinconjunctionwithanadjustment
softwareaccordingtotheFDT/DTMstandard,e.g.PACTwareand

4.1 General instructions
Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissibleprocessconditions.Youcannddetailedinformationon
the process conditions in chapter " Technical data" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Processtting
• Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasionandmechanicalinuences
The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient condi-
tions acc. to DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. It can be used
indoors as well as outdoors.
Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and
connectingaswellaslaterretrottingofadisplayandadjustment
module.The housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of any
tools.You can also install the display and adjustment module in four
dierentpositions(eachdisplacedby90°).
Use the recommended cables (see chapter " Connecting to power
supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cablegland.Rainandcondensationwatercanthusdraino.This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or
on cooled or heated vessels.
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.

Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory.The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
The reference plane for the measuring range is the lower edge of the
transducer.
Makesurethatablockingdistancebelowthereferenceplaneismain-
tained in which a measurement is not possible.The exact value of the
blocking distance is stated in chapter " Technical data".

chapter " Technical data".
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
When mounting the sensor, keep a distance of at least 200 mm
(7.874 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of
dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise.These can,
however, be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter
" Setup").

If this distance cannot be maintained, a false signal suppression
should be carried out during setup. This applies particularly if buildup
on the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeat-
ing the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup.
In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the bottom.

The ultrasonic sensor should be installed at a location where no
installations cross the ultrasonic beam.
Vessel installations such as for example, ladders, limit switches, heat-
ing spirals, struts etc. can cause false echoes that interfere with the
usefulecho.Makesurewhenplanningyourmeasuringsitethatthe
ultrasonic signals have a "clear view" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false signal suppression
should be carried out during setup.
If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false
echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures.

Throughtheactionoflling,stirringandotherprocessesinthevessel,
dense foams which considerably damp the emitted signals may form
on the medium surface.
If foams are causing measurement errors, the sensor should be used
in a standpipe or, alternatively, the more suitable guided radar sen-
sors (TDR) should be used.

5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Warning:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage.
• The electrical connection must only be carried out by trained,
qualiedpersonnelauthorisedbytheplantoperator.
• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed.
Supply voltage and current output are carried on separate two-wire
connection cables if reliable separation is required. The supply volt-
agerangecandierdependingontheinstrumentversion.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
The standard version can be operated with an earth-connected cur-
rentoutput,theExdversionmustbeoperatedwithaoatingoutput.
This instrument is designed in protection class I.To maintain this
protection class, it is absolutely necessary that the ground conductor
be connected to the internal ground terminal.Take note of the general
installation regulations.
Always connect the instrument to vessel ground (potential equalisa-
tion) or in case of plastic vessels to the next ground potential. For
this purpose there is a ground terminal on the side of the instrument
housing.
For voltage supply, an approved installation cable with PE conductor
is required.
The 4 … 20 mA current output is connected with standard two-wire
cable without shielding. If electromagnetic interference is expected
which is above the test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas,
shielded cable should be used.
Makesurethatthecableusedhastherequiredtemperatureresist-
anceandresafetyformax.occurringambienttemperature
Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and
cablegland.Toensurethesealeectofthecablegland(IPprotection
rating),ndoutwhichcableouterdiameterthecableglandissuitable
for.
Useacableglandttingthecablediameter.
If shielded cable is required, we recommend connecting the cable
screening on both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the cable
screening must be connected directly to the internal ground terminal.
The ground terminal on the outside of the housing must be connected
to the ground potential (low impedance).
In Ex systems, the grounding is carried out according to the installa-
tion regulations.
