Product description
Functional principle 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 running
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.

4.1 General instructions
Installation position Select an installation position you can easily reach for
mounting and connecting as well as later retrofitting of an
indicating and adjustment module. The housing can be rotated
by 330° without the use of any tools. You can also install the
indicating and adjustment module in four different positions
(each displaced by 90°).
Measuring range The reference plane for the measuring range of the sensors is
the contact surface on the side of the antenna cover.

Information:
If the medium reaches the antenna, buildup can form on it and
cause faulty measurements later on.
Wetted materials Make sure that the wetted parts of VEGAPULS 67, especially
the seal and process fitting, are suitable for the existing
process conditions such as pressure, temperature etc. as well
as the chemical properties of the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" in

Tip:
In new plants, it is useful to incline the vessel socket in the
direction of emptying. False reflections from the vessel wall are
thus reduced and measurement all the way down to the
conical outlet is possible.
32938-EN-070418
VEGAPULS 67 - 4 … 20 mA/HART 19
Mounting
Mounting in multiple channel The silo walls of multiple chamber silos are often made of
silo profile walls, such as e.g. profile sheetings, to ensure the
required stability. If the radar sensor is mounted very close to a
heavily structured vessel wall, substantial false reflections can
be caused. Hence the sensor should be mounted at a large
distance from the separating wall.
The optimum mounting position is on the outer wall of the silo
with the sensor oriented towards the outlet in the silo center.
20 VEGAPULS 67 - 4 … 20 mA/HART
Mounting
Vessel installations Silo installations such as e.g. ladders, level switches, struts,
and also structured vessel walls, can cause false echoes that
get superimposed on the useful echo. The mounting location
of the radar sensor should be a place where no installations
cross the microwave signals. Make sure when planning your
measurement loop that the radar signals have a "clear view" to
the product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage
should be carried out during setup.
If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause
false echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary
measures. Small, inclined sheet metal baffles above the
installations scatter the radar signals and prevent direct
interfering reflections.

VEGAPULS 67 - 4 … 20 mA/HART 21
Mounting
Air purging An air purging is useful for avoiding buildup, particularly when
there is strong condensation. Since VEGAPULS 67 has no
direct purging air connection, a separate purging air con-
nection must be provided in the mounting socket. Due to the
inclination of this connection towards the top, the cleaning of
the antenna cover is particularly effective.
Material heaps Large material heaps are best measured with several instru-
ments, which can be mounted on e.g. traverse cranes. For this
type of application it is advantageous to orient the sensor
perpendicular to the bulk solid surface.
The sensors cannot influence each other.
Information:
Keep in mind that for these applications, the sensors are
designed for relatively slow level changes. If the sensor is used
on a movable boom, the max. measuring rate must be
observed (see chapter "Technical data").

Connecting to power supply
Take note of safety In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
instructions for Ex regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the
applications sensors and power supply units.
Select power supply Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-
wire cable. The voltage supply range can differ depending on
the instrument version.
The data for power supply are stated in chapter "Technical
data" in the "Supplement".
Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and
the mains circuits according to DIN VDE 0106 part 101. The
VEGA power supply units VEGATRENN 149A Ex, VEGAS-
TAB 690 as well as all VEGAMETs meet this requirement.
Bear in mind the following factors regarding supply voltage:
l Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under
nominal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in
case of fault message)
l Influence of additional instruments in the circuit (see load
values in chapter "Technical data")
Selecting connection cable VEGAPULS 67 is connected with standard two-wire cable
without screen. An outer cable diameter of 5 … 9 mm ensures
the seal effect of the cable gland. If electromagnetic
interference is expected which is above the test values of
EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should be used.
For HART multidrop operation we recommend as standard
practice the use of screened cable.
32938-EN-070418
Cable gland ½ NPT On VEGAPULS 67 with cable gland ½ NPT and plastic
housing, a metal ½" threaded insert is moulded in the plastic
housing.
VEGAPULS 67 - 4 … 20 mA/HART 23
Connecting to power supply
Caution:
No grease should be used when screwing the NPT cable
gland or steel tube into the threaded insert. Standard grease
can contain additives that corrode the connection between
threaded insert and housing. This would influence the stability
of the connection and the tightness of the housing.
Cable screening and ground- If screened cable is necessary, connect the cable screen on
ing both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the screen must
be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The
ground terminal on the outside of the housing must be
connected to the potential equalisation (low impedance).
If potential equalisation currents are expected, the connection
on the processing side must be made via a ceramic capacitor
(e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation
currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against
high frequency interference signals remains.

Medium selection Each product has different reflective properties. In solids,
these are dust generation, material cones and additional
echoes caused by the vessel wall. Due to the medium
selection, the sensor is adapted in an optimum way to the
product and the accuracy, particularly for products with bad
reflective properties, is increased considerably.

Vessel form Apart from the medium, the vessel shape can also influence
the measurement. To adapt the sensor to these measuring
conditions, this menu item offers different options depending
on whether liquid or solid is selected. With "Solid" these are
"Silo" or "Bunker", with "Liquid", "Storage tank", "Stilling tube",
"Open vessel" or "Stirred vessel".
Vessel form

Linearisation curve A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel
volume does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. with a
cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the
volume is required. Corresponding linearization curves are
preprogrammed for these vessels. They represent the
correlation between the level percentage and vessel volume.
By activating the appropriate curve, the volume percentage of
the vessel is displayed correctly. If the volume should not be
displayed in percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling can be also
set in the menu item "Display".

Gating out of false signals False reflections by vessel installation can impair the
measurement as described in chapter "Mounting". A false
echo storage detects and marks these false echoes, so that
they are no longer taken into account for the level measure-
ment. To detect these interfering reflections over the complete
measuring range, the gating out of false echoes should be
carried out with empty vessel.
Information:
However, the measuring signals are not damped by the
product in completely empty, closed metal vessels. Due to
this, considerable multiple reflections can be caused by which
the noise level can increase. In such vessels, it is recom-
mended to carry out the gating out of false echoes with part
filling.
Change now?
Proceed as follows:
1 Move from the measured value display to the main menu
by pushing [OK].
2 Select the menu item "Service" with [->] and confirm with
[OK]. Now the menu item "False signal suppression" is
displayed.
3 Confirm "False signal suppression - Change now" with
[OK] and select in the below menu "Create new". Enter the
actual distance from the sensor to the product surface. All
false signals in this area are detected by the sensor and
saved after confirming with [OK].
Note:
Check the distance to the product surface, because if an
incorrect (too large) value is entered, the existing level will be
saved as false signal. The filling level would then no longer be
detectable in this area.

Note:
Since with the function "Quick level change >1 m/min." the
generation of an averafy value of the signal processing is
considerably reduced, false reflections by agitators or vessel
installations can cause measured value fluctuations. A false
echo memory is thus recommended.
