Product description
1.2 Application features
Applications
• Level measurement of all liquids
• Level measurement of solids (only short
measuring distances) such as e.g. coal,
ore, stones, crushed rocks, cement,
gravel, sand, sugar, salt, cereals, flour,
granules, powder, dusts, sawdust,
sawings.
• Flow measurement on various flumes
• Gauge measurement, distance measure-
ment, object monitoring and conveyor belt
monitoring
Two-wire technology
• Supply and output signal on one two-wire
cable (loop powered).
• Output signal and signal processing com-
pletely digital.
Rugged and precise
• Measurement unaffected by substance
properties such as density, conductivity,
dielectric constant…
• Suitable for corrosive substances
• Measuring range 0.25 m … 70 m.
• Precise through digital processing and
transmission of measured values.
Means of adjustment
• With adjustment software VEGA Visual
Operating (VVO) on the PC

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. an empty vessel profile 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
VEGASCAN 850 and ultrasonic sensors are
carried out with the PC and the adjustment
program VVO (VEGA Visual Operating).
Only sensor-relevant settings can be carried
out with the adjustment module MINICOM.
Adjustment with PC
The program leads quickly through the ad-
justment and parameter setting by means of
pictures, graphics and process
visualisations.
The PC is connected with a standard cable
(RS 232) directly to VEGASCAN 850.
The adjustment and parameter data of the
connected sensors and the configuration of
VEGASCAN can be saved with the adjust-
ment software on the PC and can be pro-
tected by passwords. On request, the
sensor adjustments can be quickly trans-
ferred to other sensors.
