2For your safety
2.1Authorised 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.
2.2Appropriate use
VEGASON 61 is a sensor for continuous level measurement.
You can find detailed information on the application range in chapter
"Product description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used
according to the specifications 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.Arbitrary
conversions or modifications are explicitly forbidden.
2.3Warning about misuse
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to
application-specific hazards,e.g.vessel overfill or damage to system
components through incorrect mounting or adjustment.
2.4General safety instructions
This is a high-tech instrument requiring the strict observance of
standard regulations and guidelines.The user must take note of the
safety instructions in this operating instructions manual,the country-
specific installation standards as well as all prevailing safety
regulations and accident prevention rules.
The instrument must only be operated in a technically flawless and
reliable condition.The operator is responsible for trouble-free
operation of the instrument.
During the entire duration of use,the user is obliged to determine the

2.5Safety approval markings and safety tips
The safety approval markings and safety tips on the device must be
observed.
2.6CE conformity
This device fulfills the legal requirements of the applicable EC
guidelines.By attaching the CE mark,VEGA provides a confirmation
of successful testing.You can find the CE conformity declaration in the
download area of www.vega.com.
2.7Fulfillment of NAMUR recommendations
With respect to compatibility,the NAMUR recommendation NE 53 is
fulfilled.This applies also to the corresponding indicating and
adjustment components.VEGA instruments are generally upward and
downward compatible.
lSensor software for DTM VEGASON 61 HART,PA or FF
lDTM VEGASON 61 for adjustment software PACTware
lIndicating and adjustment module for sensor software
The parameter adjustment of the basic sensor functions is independ-
ent of the software version.The range of available functions depends
on the respective software version of the individual components.
The software version of VEGASON 61 can be determined as follows:
lvia PACTware
lon the type label of the electronics
lvia the indicating and adjustment module
You can view all software histories on our website www.vega.com.

2.8Safety instructions for Ex areas
Please note the Ex-specific safety information for installation and
operation in Ex areas.These safety instructions are part of the
operating instructions manual and come with the Ex-approved
instruments.
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.

3.2Principle 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 reflected by
product surface and received again 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 differ depending on the instrument
version.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
Measured value transmission is carried out via the 4…20 mA/HART
output separate from power supply.
The background lighting of the indicating and adjustment module is
powered by the sensor.Prerequiste is a certain heigt of the operating
voltage.You can find the exact voltage specifications in chapter
"Technical data".
3.3Operation
VEGASON 61 can be adjusted with different adjustment media:
lwith indicating and adjustment module
lwith the suitable VEGA DTM in conjunction with an adjustment
software according to the FDT/DTM standard,e.g.PACTware and
PC
lwith manufacturer-specific adjustment programs AMS™or PDM
lWith a HART handheld
The entered parameters are generally saved in VEGASON 61,
optionally also in the indicating and adjustment module or in
PACTware.
