Radar

In continuous non-contact level measurement with radar, the sensor sends microwave signals towards the medium from above. The surface of the medium reflects the signals back in the direction of the sensor. Using the received microwave signals, the sensor determines the distance to the product surface and calculates the level from it.

Liquids and solids are commonly measured with this measuring technique.

Features

• Non-contact level measurement with radar is characterized by especially high measurement accuracy
• Measurement is not affected by temperature, pressure or dust
• User-friendly adjustment saves time

Application area

4 ... 20 mA/HART output, measuring range up to 15 m, accuracy ±2 mm, Ex approval, on-site display and 3-button operation

VEGAPULS 31 is the ideal sensor for non-contact level measurement of liquids and bulk solids in simple applications. It is particularly suitable for use in water treatment, storage tanks with acids, lyes and additives in all industrial areas, or for measuring levels in plastic tanks from the outside through the tank wall. In bulk solids the sensors are used in small bulk solids silos or open containers.

Your benefit

• Exact measurement results independent of medium properties and process conditions
• On-site display for easy level control
• Maintenance-free operation due to non-contact 80 GHz radar technology

Wired radar sensor for continuous level measurement

Axial cable outlet, measuring range up to 15 m, accuracy ±2 mm, 4 ... 20 mA, HART, SDI-12 or Modbus output, Ex-approval

VEGAPULS C 21 is the ideal sensor for non-contact level measurement in simple applications where a high degree of protection is required. It is particularly suitable for use in water treatment, pumping stations and rain overflow basins, for flow measurement in open channels and level monitoring. In bulk solids the sensors are used in small bulk solids silos or open containers.

Wired radar sensor for continuous level measurement

VEGAPULS C 11 is the ideal sensor for non-contact level measurement in simple applications where a high degree of protection is required. It is particularly suitable for use in water treatment, pumping stations, rain overflow basins and level monitoring. In bulk solids the sensors are used in small bulk solids silos or open containers.

Axial cable outlet, 4 ... 20 mA output, measuring range up to 8 m, accuracy ±5 mm, PVC cable with 10 m length

Robust controller and display instrument for level sensors

The VEGAMET 841/842 controllers feed the connected 4 ... 20 mA sensor, processes the measured values and displays them. A large display for data visualisation is integrated in the housing designed for rough field conditions. It enables a simple conversion of pump controls, flow measurements on open channels and weirs and totalizers. With VEGAMET 841, limit values can be reliably monitored and relays can be switched, e.g. for an overfill protection according to WHG.

1 x 4 ... 20 mA sensor input, 1 x 4 ... 20 mA current output, 3 x operating relay, 1 x fail safe relay (instead of operating relay), Ex approval, on-site display, 4-button and smartphone operation

VEGAMET 842
2 x 4 ... 20 mA sensor inputs, 2 x 4 ... 20 mA current outputs, 3 x operating relay, 1 x fail safe relay (instead of operating relay), Ex approval, on-site display, 4-button and smartphone operation

Your benefit

• Clearly arranged, readable from a distance and individually programmable display
• Complex programming of control tasks is no longer necessary
• Easy-to-read display from a distance, even in sunlight and darkness
