VEGAPULS 63 - Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids - 

PS63.UXNAIHKNAX

(For aggressive liquids or under hygienic requirements)

The VEGAPULS 63 uses a non-contact radar (TDR - Time Domain Reflectometry) principle to measure the level of aggressive liquids or in hygienic applications. The sensor emits microwave pulses, which are reflected by the liquid's surface, and the time it takes for these pulses to be received back by the antenna system is used to calculate the distance to the surface, and therefore the liquid level. This method is unaffected by process conditions like pressure, temperature, or product properties.

How it Works

1. Microwave Emission: The sensor's antenna system sends extremely short microwave pulses in the direction of the product surface.
2. Reflection: The surface of the measured product reflects these pulses back towards the sensor.
3. Signal Reception: The antenna system receives the reflected signals.  
4. Time Measurement: A special time-stretching procedure allows for precise measurement of the very short time taken for the signal to travel from the sensor to the product surface and back.
5.  Level Calculation: The sensor uses the time-of-flight to determine the distance to the product surface and then calculates the actual level in the vessel.

Key Characteristics

• Application: Ideal for measuring aggressive liquids or in applications with high hygienic demands, such as storage tanks, process vessels, and reactors.
• Encapsulated Antenna: The antenna system is sealed and protected from contamination, ensuring maintenance-free and long-term operation.
• Front-Flush Mounting: The sensor's front-flush mounting allows for optimal cleanability, which is important in hygienic applications.
• Non-Contact Measurement: The process is entirely non-contact, meaning the readings are not influenced by factors like product properties, pressure, or temperature.

Application area 

The front-flush mounting of the encapsulated antenna system ensures optimum cleaning even with strict hygienic requirements.
The VEGAPULS 63 is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of aggressive liquids or with hygienic requirements. It is suitable for applications in storage tanks, process vessels, dosing vessels and reactors. The encapsulated antenna system of VEGAPULS 63 protects the VEGAPULS 63 against pollution and ensures a maintenance-free permanent operation. The front-flush mounting ensures an optimum cleanability even with high hygienic requirements.

VEGAPULS 66 - Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids - PS66.RXEAO2HVMAX

(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

VEGAPULS 62 - Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids - PS62.CXEAO4H8MAX

(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.
