VEGAPULS 62 - Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids - PS62.DKEAO4HDMAX

(In extreme temperatures and pressures)

The VEGAPULS 62 is a non-contact radar level sensor that works by transmitting short microwave pulses from its antenna to the product's surface, which then reflects the signal back to the sensor. The sensor measures the time taken for the signal to travel to the product and back, a duration directly proportional to the level of the liquid. This time-of-flight measurement, also known as Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) in radar technology, allows for continuous and accurate level detection in a variety of vessels, even under difficult conditions like high pressure, temperature, or vacuum.

How it works:

1. Microwave Transmission: The VEGAPULS 62's antenna sends very short, low-power microwave pulses into the tank or vessel.
2. Reflection: When these pulses hit the surface of the liquid or solid material, they are reflected back towards the sensor.
3. Time Measurement: The sensor precisely records the time it takes for the microwave pulse to travel from the antenna to the product surface and return.
4. Level Calculation: The measured time is then converted into a distance or level reading by the sensor's internal electronics.

Key features and applications

• Non-Contact Measurement: It does not physically touch the product, eliminating wear and the need for maintenance related to contact.
• Versatility: It can measure liquids and solids in various applications, including storage tanks, reactors, and process vessels.
• Difficult Conditions: The radar technology makes it effective in harsh environments with extreme temperatures, high pressures, or the presence of steam or vacuum.
• Continuous Readings: The sensor provides constant, reliable, and highly accurate level readings.
