VEGAPULS 67 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol
41369-EN-121011
– Exact measurement result required
– Distance to the water surface normally relatively high
Rain water overfall (weir):
•
Gauge rate of change: slow gauge change
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Ice and condensation on the antenna possible
– Spiders and insect nestle in the antennas
– Turbulent water surface
– Sensor flooding possible
Demonstration:
•
Adjustment for all applications which are not typically level meas-
urement
•
Sensor accepts all measured value changes within the measuring
range immediately
•
Typical applications:
– Instrument demonstration
– Object recognition/monitoring (additional settings required)
Caution:
If a separation of liquids with different dielectric figure occurs in the
vessel, for example through condensation, the radar sensor can
detect under certain circumstances only the medium with the higher
dielectric figure. Keep in mind that layer interfaces can cause faulty
measurements.
If you want to measure the total height of both liquids reliably, please
contact our service department or use an instrument specially de-
signed for interface measurement.
The following options are available when "Bulk solid" is selected:
The following features form the basis of the applications:
Silo (slim and high):
•
Vessel of metal: weld joints
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Filling too close to the sensor
– System noise with completely empty silo increased
– Automatic false signal suppression with partly filled vessel
Bunker (large-volumed):
•
Vessel of concrete or metal:
– Structured vessel walls
– Installations present
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Large distance to the medium
– Large angles of repose
Bunker with fast filling:
