Max. torque, see chapter "Technical data".�Required�tools:�Allen�wrench�size�4. There�are�two�different�variants�of�screwing�the�strap�to�the�sensor,� see following illustration: 1 2 Fig. 2: Mounting strap for screwing to the sensor 1 For angle of inclination in steps 2� For�angle�of�inclination,�infinitely�variable Depending on the selected variant, the sensor can be rotated in the strap: • Single chamber housing – Angle of inclination in three steps 0°, 90° and 180° – Angle�of�inclination�180°,�infinitely�variable • Double chamber housing – Angle�of�inclination�90°,�infinitely�variable – Angle of inclination in two steps 0° and 90° 3.2 Mounting instructions Radar sensors for level measurement emit electromagnetic waves. The�polarization�is�the�direction�of�the�electrical�component�of�these� waves. The�polarization�direction�is�marked�by�a�nose�on�the�housing,�see� following drawing: 1 Fig. 3: Position of the polarisation 1 Nose for marking the direction of polarisation Polarisation

51462-EN-160111 Information: When�the�housing�is�rotated,�the�direction�of�polarization�changes� and�hence�the�influence�of�the�false�echo�on�the�measured�value.� Please keep this in mind when mounting or making changes later. When mounting the sensor, keep a distance of at least 200 mm (7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However, these can be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter "Setup"). If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false signal storage during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating the false signal storage at a later date with existing buildup. > 200 mm (7.87") Fig. 4: Mounting of the radar sensor on round vessel tops In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible down to the lowest point of the vessel bottom.

Im- portant�functions�are�described�in�the�following�chapter.�You�can�find�a� complete description of all functions of the "Extended adjustment" in the operating instructions manual of VEGAPULS 64. 5.3 Parameter adjustment - Extended adjustment The�main�menu�is�divided�into�five�sections�with�the�following�func- tions: Setup: Settings, e.g., for measurement loop name, units, application, adjustment, signal output Display: Settings, e.g., for language, measured value display, lighting Diagnosis: Information, for example, on device status, peak value, simulation, echo curve Additional adjustments: Date/Time, reset, copy function, scaling, current�output,�false�signal�suppression,�linearization,�HART�mode,� special parameters Info: Instrument name, hardware and software version, calibration date, instrument features In the main menu item "Setup", the individual submenu items should be selected one after the other and provided with the correct parameters to ensure optimum adjustment of the measurement. The procedure is described in the following. Since the radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, the distance from the sensor to the product surface is measured. To indicate the actual level, an allocation of the measured distance to the percentage height must be carried out. To perform the adjustment, enter the distance with full and empty ves- sel, see the following example: Extended adjustment Main menu Setup - Adjustment

The actual level is calculated on the basis of these settings. The actual product level during this adjustment is not important, because the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without changing the product level. These settings can be made ahead of time without the instrument having to be installed. The function "Setup" allows the echo curve to be saved at the time of setup. Information: This is generally recommended, however, for use of the Asset Management functions it is absolutely necessary. Saving should be carried out with a very low level. The function "Echo curve memory" allows up to ten individual echo curves to be stored, for example to detect the measurement behav- iour�of�the�sensor�in�different�operating�conditions. With the adjustment software PACTware and the PC, the stored echo curves�can�be�displayed�with�high�resolution�and�used�to�recognize� signal changes over time. In addition, the echo curve saved during setup can also be displayed in the echo curve window and compared with the current echo curve. Diagnostics - Echo curve memory

This should be done with a low level so that all potential interfering reflections�can�be�detected. Proceed as follows: 1. Select with [->] the menu item "False signal suppression" and confirm�with�[OK]. 2.� Confirm�again�with�[OK]. 3.� Confirm�again�with�[OK]. 4.� Confirm�again�with�[OK] and enter the actual distance from the sensor to the product surface. 5. All interfering signals in this section are detected by the sensor and�stored�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 a false signal. The level would then no longer be detectable in this area. If a false signal suppression has already been saved in the sensor, the following menu window appears when selecting "False signal suppression": Additional adjustments - False signal suppression

VEGAPULS 64 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire 51462-EN-160111 Delete: An already created false signal suppression will be com- pletely deleted. This is useful if the saved false signal suppression no longer matches the metrological conditions in the vessel. Extend: is used to extend an already created false signal suppres- sion. This is useful if a false signal suppression was carried out with too high a level and not all false signals could be detected. When selecting "Extend", the distance to the product surface of the created false signal suppression is displayed. This value can now be changed and the false signal suppression can be extended to this range.
