During work on and with the device the required personal protection equipment must always be worn. 2.2 Appropriate use VEGAPULS 67 is a sensor for continuous level measurement. You can nd detailed information on the application range in chapter "Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions. For safety and warranty reasons, any invasive work on the device beyond that described in the operating instructions manual may be carried out only by personnel authorised by the manufacturer. Arbitrary conversions or modications are explicitly forbidden. 2.3 Warning about misuse Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to application-specic hazards, e.g. vessel overll or damage to system components through incorrect mounting or adjustment. 2.4 General safety instructions This is a high-tech instrument requiring the strict observance of standard regulations and guidelines. The user must take note of the safety instructions in this operating instructions manual, the country-specic installation standards as well as all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules. The emitting frequency of VEGAPULS 67 is in the K band range. The low transmitting power lies far below the interna-
tionally permitted limit values. When the instrument used correctly, it presents no danger to human health. It may be operated without restriction outside of closed metallic vessels. VEGAPULS 67 4 20 mA/HART 5 0 1 6 0 8 0

8 3 9 2 3 For your safety The instrument must only be operated in a technically awless and reliable condition. The operator is responsible for trouble-
free operation of the instrument. During the entire duration of use, the user is obliged to determine the compliance of the required occupational safety measures with the current valid rules and regulations and also take note of new regulations. 2.5 Safety approval markings and safety tips The safety approval markings and safety tips on the device must be observed. 2.6 CE conformity VEGAPULS 67 is in CE conformity with EMC (89/336/EWG) and LVD (73/23/EWG). Conformity has been judged according to the following standards:
l EMC:
- Emission EN 61326: 1997 (class B)
- Susceptibility EN 61326: 1997/A1:1998 l R & TTE directive: I-ETS 300-440 Expert Opinion No. 05-111723, Notied Body No. 0700 l LVD: EN 61010-1: 2001 2.7 Fullling of NAMUR recommendations With respect to interference resistance and emitted interfer-
ence, the NAMUR recommendation NE 21 is fullled. With respect to compatibility, the NAMUR recommendation NE 53 is fullled. This applies also to the corresponding indicating and adjustment components. VEGA instruments are generally upward and downward compatible. l Sensor software for DTM VEGAPULS 67 HART, PA or FF l DTM VEGAPULS 67 for adjustment software PACTware l Indicating and adjustment module for sensor software The parameter adjustment of the basic sensor functions is independent of the software version. The range of available functions depends on the respective software version of the individual components. The software version of VEGAPULS 67 can be determined as follows:

Any other use is prohibited. Note about this manual: this manual is intended to be used internationally. There are gures and illustrations which depict the use of the device in open air and open-topped tank environments. These types of installations are not in com-
pliance with FCC/IC approvals. This VEGAPULS 67 sensor is FCC/IC approved with all of the antennas described in this operating instructions manual. Modications or changes to this device not expressly approved by VEGA could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
l The device may not cause harmful interference, and l This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the users will be required to correct the inference at their own expense. 0 1 6 0 8 0

27 K (individual components in the instrument) With an ambient temperature of 70 C (158 F) on the housing and a process temperature of 70 C (158 F), the max. ambient temperature during operation is 97 C (207 F). Measures to maintain explosion protection during operation:
l Operate the instrument in the range of the specied electrical limit values. Permissible supply voltage: see
"Technical data"
l Mount and operate the instrument in such a way that no danger of ignition from electrostatic charges is to be expected. The antenna, the process tting or the housing
(as the case may be depending on instrument version) are made of electrically non-conductive plastic. l Make sure that the seal is mounted correctly between lower part of the housing and cover. Screw the cover on tightly. l Make sure there is no explosive atmosphere present if you intend to operate the instrument with opened cover l Make sure that the cable gland is tight and strain-relieved. The outer diameter of the connection cable must be adapted to the cable gland. Tighten the pressure screw of the cable gland carefully. l Cover unused openings for cable glands tightly l Mount the instrument in such a way that the sensor cannot touch the vessel wall or vessel installations. Keep in mind the inuence of product movement in the vessel. 3 2 9 3 8

Functional principle The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reected 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. Voltage supply Two-wire electronics 4 20 mA/HART for power supply and measured value transmission over the same cable. The supply voltage range can dier depending on the instrument version. Data for power supply are specied in chapter "Technical data". The backlight of the indicating and adjustment module is powered by the sensor. The prerequisite for this is a supply voltage at a certain level. The exact voltage specications are stated in chapter "Technical data". VEGAPULS 67 4 20 mA/HART 11 0 1 6 0 8 0

ment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised recycling companies. Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes on the transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instruc-
tions can cause damage to the device. The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or concealed defects must be appropriately dealt with. Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the outside.
