1.5 Type survey
VEGASON 54 … 56 sensors are a newly
developed generation of very compact ultra-
sonic sensors for large measuring ranges.
For shorter measuring ranges, VEGASON
51 … 53 sensors are used.
Thanks to the small housing dimensions and
process fittings, the compact sensors are a
very cost-effective solution for your level
measurement applications. Swivelling holders
enable quick orientation of the transducers to
the liquid or solid surface. Because the sen-
sor electronics and transducer can be sepa-
rated, installation is very simple. It is possible
to separate the sensor electronics up to
300 m from the transducer. As a result, the
transducer can handle ambient temperatures
up to 150°C (VEGASON 56).
General features
• Application in solids and liquids.
• Measuring range 0.8 m … 70 m.
• Ex-approved in Zone 10 (IEC) or Zone 11
(ATEX) classification mark EEx ia [ia] IIC T6
or Zone 20/21/22, VEGASON 56 also
Zone 1.
• Integrated measured value display in the
sensor or in the external indicating instru-
ment which can be mounted up to 25 m
away from the sensor.
