Radar sensor with integrated Bluetooth module Documentation This operating instructions manual 3.2 Principle of operation Application area The radar sensor VEGAPULS WL S 61 is the ideal sensor for typical applications in the water and waste water industry. It is particularly suitable for level measurement in water treat-
ment, in pump stations as well as storm water overflow tanks. The flood-proof IP 68 housing of VEGAPULS WL S 61 ensures a maintenance-
free permanent operation. An integrated Bluetooth module enables the wireless commu-
nication with smartphone, tablet or PC. 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 transit time of the radar pulses from emission to recep-
tion 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. 3.3 Adjustment Wireless adjustment The adjustment of VEGAPULS WL S 61 is carried out via standard adjustment instruments:

Procedure for fault rectification The first measures are:
Evaluation of fault messages via the adjust-
Checking the output signal Treatment of measurement errors Further comprehensive diagnostics options are available with a PC with PACTware and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the reasons can be determined in this way and faults rectified. Check the 4 20 mA signal Connect a multimeter in the suitable measuring range according to the wiring plan.

Radar sensor Compression flange (option) Mounting strap with fixing material (optional) Documentation this operating instructions manual Ex-specific "Safety instructions" (with Ex versions) if necessary, further certificates 3.2 Principle of operation The radar sensor VEGAPULS WL 61 is the ideal sensor for all appli-
cations in the water and waste water industry. It is particularly suitable for level measurement in water treatment, in pump stations as well as storm water overflow tanks, for flow measurement in open flumes and for gauge measurement. 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 transit 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 appropri-
ate output signal and outputted as measured value. 3.3 Packaging, transport and storage Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test according to DIN EN 24180. The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
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 instructions can cause damage to the device.

3.4 Accessories and replacement parts The interface adapter VEGACONNECT enables the connection of communication-capable instruments to the USB interface of a PC. For parameter adjustment of these instruments, an adjustment software such as PACTware with VEGA-DTM is required. You can find further information in the operating instructions "Interface adapter VEGACONNECT" (Document-ID 32628). VEGADIS 62 is suitable for measured value indication and adjustment of sensors with HART protocol. It is looped into the 4 20 mA/HART signal cable.

The polarisation plane is the direction of the electrical wave component. By turning the instrument in the connection flange or mounting strap, the polarisation can be used to reduce the effects of false echoes. The position of the polarisation level is marked by marking bars on the instrument. 14 VEGAPULS WL 61 4 20 mA/HART - two-wire 3 8 0 6 1

(7.874 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. These can, however, be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter
"Setup"). If you cannot keep this distance you should carry out a false echo storage before setup. This applies mainly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In this case, we recommend repeating a false echo stor-
age later with existing buildup.

Vessel installations Fig. 14: Orientation of the sensor The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no other equipment or fixtures cross the path of the microwave signals. Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spi-
rals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring site that the radar sensor has a "clear view" to the measured 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. 7 0 4 0 4 1

Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should be installed Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire cable. The voltage supply range can differ depending on the instru-
ment version. The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data". Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the mains circuits according to DIN VDE 0106 part 101. Keep in mind the following additional factors that influence the operat-
ing voltage:
Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under nomi-
nal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault message) Influence of additional instruments in the circuit (see load values in chapter "Technical data") The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, screened cable should be used. For instruments with housing and cable gland, use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 9 mm (0.2 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. If you are using cable with a different diameter, exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland. We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART multi-
drop mode. 5.2 Wiring plan 1 2 Fig. 18: Wire assignment fix-connected connection cable 1 brown (+) and blue (-) to power supply or to the processing system 2 Shielding 5.3 Switch-on phase After connecting the instrument to power supply or after a voltage recurrence, the instrument carries out a self-check for approx. 30 s:

Starting point for these distance specifications is always the seal surface of the thread or flange. By means of these settings, the real level will be calculated. The real product level during this adjustment is not important, be-
cause the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without chang-
ing the product level. These settings can be made ahead of time without the instrument having to be installed. All device DTMs are available as a free-of-charge standard version and as a full version that must be purchased. In the standard version, all functions for complete setup are already included. An assistant for simple project configuration simplifies the adjustment considerably. Saving/printing the project as well as import/export functions are also part of the standard version. In the full version there is also an extended print function for complete project documentation as well as a save function for measured value and echo curves. In addition, there is a tank calculation program as well as a multiviewer for display and analysis of the saved measured value and echo curves.

sis purposes. The data remain even with voltage interruption. Up to 60,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the respective measured value. Storable values are for example:
Distance Filling height Percentage value Lin. percent Scaled Current value Meas. reliability Electronics temperature When the instrument is shipped, the measured value memory is active and stores distance, measurement certainty and electronics temperature every 3 minutes. The requested values and recording conditions are set via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. Data are thus read out and also reset. Up to 500 events are automatically stored with a time stamp in the sensor (non-deletable). Each entry contains date/time, event type, event description and value. Event types are for example:
Modification of a parameter Switching on and off times Status messages (according to NE 107) Error messages (according to NE 107) The data are read out via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. The echo curves are stored with date and time and the corresponding echo data. The memory is divided into two sections:

This status message is always active. It cannot be deactivated by the user. Function check: The instrument is in operation, the measured value is temporarily invalid (for example during simulation). This status message is inactive by default. It can be activated by the user via PACTware/DTM or EDD. Out of specification: The measured value is unstable because the instrument specification is exceeded (e.g. electronics temperature). This status message is inactive by default. It can be activated by the user via PACTware/DTM or EDD. Maintenance: Due to external influences, the instrument function is limited. The measurement is affected, but the measured value is still valid. Plan in maintenance for the instrument because a failure is expected in the near future (e.g. due to buildup). 3 8 0 6 1

Constant level Filling Emptying The images in column "Error pattern" show the real level with a bro-
ken line and the level displayed by the sensor as a continuous line. Treatment of measure-
ment errors with liquids l e v e L 0 1 2 time 1 Real level 2 Level displayed by the sensor Instructions:
Wherever the sensor displays a constant value, the reason could also be the fault setting of the current output to "Hold value"
In case of a too low level indication, the reason could be a line resistance that is too high 3 8 0 6 1
