4.3 mounting instructions when mounting vegason 64, keep a distance of at least 500 mm (19.69 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 " setu...
Page 19
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. Fig. 11: vessel with conical bottom preferably the transducer should be mounted without socket flush to the vessel top....
Page 20
Vessel installations such as for example, ladders, limit switches, heating spirals, struts etc. Can cause false echoes that interfere with the useful echo. Make sure when planning your measuring site that the ultrasonic signals have a "clear view" to the measured product. In case of existing vessel ...
Page 21
Large material heaps are best measured with several instruments, which can be mounted on e.G. Traverse cranes. For this type of application it is advantageous to orient the sensor perpendicular to the bulk solid surface. Fig. 15: transducers on traverse crane do not mount the instruments in or above...
Page 22
If there are strong air currents in the vessel, e.G. Due to strong winds in outdoor installations or air turbulence, e.G. By cyclone extraction you should mount vegason 64 in a standpipe or use a different measuring principle, e.G. Radar or guided radar (tdr). Strong heat fluctuations, e.G. Caused by ...

Apart from the medium, the vessel shape can also influence the measurement. To adapt the sensor to these measuring conditions, this menu item offers different options depending on whether liquid or solid is selected. With "liquids" these are "storage tank", "stilling tube", " open vessel" or "stirred v...

In this menu item you can enter an unambiguous designation for the sensor, e.G. The measurement loop name or the tank or product designation. In digital systems and in the documentation of larger plants, a singular designation should be entered for exact identification of individual measuring sites. ...
Page 36
Note: since with the function "quick level change > 1 m/min." the generation of an average value of the signal processing is considerably reduced, false reflections by agitators or vessel installations can cause measured value fluctuations. A false echo memory is thus recom- mended. This function enab...
