VEGAPULS 66 - Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids -PS66.XXJAM2HANAX

(In extreme temperatures and pressures)

The VEGAPULS 66 works by emitting a short microwave pulse from its antenna, which reflects off the surface of the liquid or solid being measured. The sensor then receives this reflected signal and calculates the time it took for the pulse to travel to the product surface and back. This "time of flight" is directly proportional to the distance to the product's surface, allowing the sensor to determine and output the continuous level of the medium.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of its working principle:

1. Microwave Emission: The VEGAPULS 66's antenna emits a very short radar (microwave) pulse.
2. Signal Reflection: This pulse travels towards the product's surface, which then reflects the signal back towards the sensor.
3. Echo Reception: The antenna system receives the reflected signal (echo).
4. Time-of-Flight Measurement: The sensor precisely measures the time it takes for the signal to travel from the antenna to the product and return.
5. Level Calculation: The measured time is converted into a distance, which is then used to calculate and determine the continuous level of the product in the vessel.
6. Output Signal: The calculated level is converted into an appropriate output signal (e.g., 4-20mA, HART, or digital protocols) and sent to a monitoring system

Application area

The extended selection of process fittings and materials allows use in extreme temperature and pressure ranges.
The VEGAPULS 66 is a sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids under arduous process conditions. It is suitable for applications in storage tanks, process vessels or standpipes. The VEGAPULS 66 can be used universally thanks to different antenna versions.
