VEGASON 54K … 56K 5
Product description
Display of measured values
As an option, the series 50 ultrasonic sensors
can be equipped with an indicating instru-
ment for direct, local level survey. The indi-
cating instrument shows the precise level by
means of the analogue bar graph and the
digital number value. In addition to the indica-
tion in the sensor, you can have the level
displayed with the VEGADIS 50 external
indicating instrument at a distance of up to
25 m from the sensor. The external display of
measured values operates, like the inte-
grated display, independently of the
4 … 20 mA output signal, can be modified
through individual parameter settings, and is
powered by the sensor.

1.3 Adjustment
Each measuring situation is unique. For that
reason, every ultrasonic sensor needs some
basic information on the application and the
environment, e.g. a false echo storage is
important for a reliable measurement. Beside
this, many other settings and adjustments
are possible on VEGASON ultrasonic sen-
sors.
The adjustment and parameter setting of
ultrasonic sensors are carried out with
- the PC
- the detachable adjustment module
MINICOM.
Adjustment with PC
The setup and adjustment of the ultrasonic
sensors is generally done on the PC with the
adjustment software PACT
ware TM under Win-
dows ® . The program leads quickly through
the adjustment and parameter setting by
means of pictures, graphics and process
visualisations.
The PC can be connected to the sensor or to
any individual position of the system or the
signal cable. It is connected by means of the
two-wire PC interface converter
VEGACONNECT 2 to the sensor or the signal
cable. The adjustment and parameter data
can be saved with the adjustment software
on the PC and can be protected by pass-
words. On request, the adjustments can be
quickly transferred to other sensors.
