3 .2 Principle of operation
The VEGAPULS 62 radar sensor can be used in a wide variety of
applications for continuous level measurement of liquids. It is suitable
for applications in storage vessels, reactors and process vessels, even
under extremely difficult process conditions.
The instrument is ideal also for all applications in the water and waste
water industry. It is particularly suitable for level measurement in water
treatment, in pump stations as well as storm water overflow tanks, for
flow measurement in open flumes and for gauge measurement.
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the product
and received by the antenna as echoes. The transit 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 .3 Packaging, 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.
