industries in Germany.The published NAMUR recommendations are
accepted as the standard in field instrumentation.
The device fulfills the requirements of the following NAMUR
recommendations:
lNE 21 –Electromagnetic compatibility of equipment
lNE 43 –Standardization of the signal level for malfunction
information from digital transmitters
lNE 53 –Compatibility of field devices and indicating/adjustment
components
lNE 107 -Self-monitoring and diagnosis of field devices
For further information see www.namur.de.
2.7Radio license for Europe
The instrument is approved according to EN 302372-1/2(2006-04)for
use in closed vessels.
2.8Radio license for USA/Canada
The instrument is in conformity with part 15 of the FCC regulations.
Take note of the following two regulations:
lThe device must not generate interfering emissions,and
6VEGAPULS 62 standpipe version •Foundation Fieldbus
2For your safety
36510-EN-120301

lThe device must be non-sensitive to interfering immissions,
including those that may cause undesirable operating conditions.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer will lead to
expiry of the operating licence according to FCC/IC.
The instrument is in conformity with RSS-210 of the IC regulations.
The instrument may only be operated in closed vessels made of metal,
concrete,or fibre-reinforced plastic.
2.9Environmental instructions
Protection of the environment is one of our most important duties.That
is why we have introduced an environment management system with
the goal of continuously improving company environmental protection.
The environment management system is certified according to DIN
EN ISO 14001.
Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environmental
instructions in this manual:

3.2Principle of operation
The instrument is suitable for applications in liquids in storage tanks
and process vessels under difficult process conditions.Application
possibilities can be found in the chemical industry,in environmental
and recycling technology as well as in the petrochemical industry.
The version with standpipe antenna is particularly suitable for
measurement of solvents and liquid gases,for vessels with foam
generation or for measurement of products with low dielectric figures
(DK >1.6).
Measurement in a standpipe is not recommended for very adhesive
products.
The standard electronics enables the use of instruments in products
with an ε
r
-Wert ≥1.8.The electronics version with increased sensitivity
enables the use of the instrument also in applications with very poor
reflective properties or products with an ε
r
value ≥1.5.The values that
can be actually reached depend on the measurement conditions,the
antenna system or the standpipe or bypass tube.

36510-EN-120301

The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
duration of approx.1ns.These pulses are reflected by the product
and received by the antenna as echoes.The running time of the radar
pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and
hence to the level.The determined level is converted into an
appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.
3.3Packaging,transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly,recyclable cardboard.For special versions,PE foam or PE foil
is also used.Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging.Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt.Ascertained transit damage or
concealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Up to the time of installation,the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated,the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
lNot in the open
lDry and dust free
lNot exposed to corrosive media
lProtected against solar radiation
lAvoiding mechanical shock and vibration
lStorage and transport temperature see chapter "Supplement -
Technical data -Ambient conditions"
lRelative humidity 20 …85 %
3.4Accessories and replacement parts
The indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM is used for
measured value indication,adjustment and diagnosis.It can be
inserted into the sensor and removed at any time.
You can find further information in the operating instructions "Indicating
and adjustment module PLICSCOM"(Document-ID 27835).
