VEGAPULS 6X Continuous VEGA Radar Level Sensor For Measurement Of Liquids

VEGAPULS 6X VEGA Radar Sensor For Continuous Level Measurement Of Liquids And Bulk Solids

Application area

VEGAPULS 6X is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids and bulk solids.

The small process fittings offer particular advantages for liquids in small tanks or tight mounting spaces. The very good signal focusing ensures the use in vessels with many installations such as stirrers and heating spirals.

For bulk solids under most different process conditions, the device is ideal for level measurement in very high silos, large bunkers and segmented vessels. The VEGAPULS 6X is equipped with an encapsulated plastic antenna or a lens antenna integrated into the metal flange for this. 

Applications

The VEGAPULS 6X can be used in almost all industrial areas and applications. It is selected and adapted simply by an application-orientated configuration and setup.

Your benefit

• Maintenance-free operation thanks to non-contact measuring principle

• High plant availability, because wear and maintenance free

• Exact measuring results independent of process conditions

Function

The device sends a continuous radar signal or extremely short microwave pulses, depending on its measuring frequency, via its antenna. The transmitted signal is reflected by the medium and received as an echo by the antenna.

The frequency difference between the transmitted and the received signal or the time from transmitting to receiving the signals is proportional to the distance and depends on the filling height.

The thus determined filling height is transformed into an appropriate output signal and output as a measured value.
