38
6 Set up the sensor with the display and adjustment module
VEGAPULS 63 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol
41364-EN-170711
The selection "Standpipe" opens a new window in which the inner
diameter of the applied standpipe is entered.
Following the characteristics of the applications and the metrological
features of the sensor are described.
Note:
Probably the operation of the instrument in these applications is sub-
ject to national restrictions in respect to the radio license (see chapter
"For your safety"):
•

Storage tank:
•
Setup: large-volumed, upright cylindrical, spherical
•
Mediumspeed:slowllingandemptying
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Condensation
– Smooth product surface
– High requirements on measurement accuracy
•
Properties, sensor:
– Low sensitivity to sporadic false echoes
– Stable and reliable measured values through averaging
– High accuracy
– Short reaction time of the sensor not required
Storage tank with product circulation:
•
Setup: large-volumed, upright cylindrical, spherical
•
Mediumspeed:slowllingandemptying
•
Installations: small, laterally mounted or large, top mounted stirrer
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Relatively smooth product surface
– High requirements on measurement accuracy
– Condensation
– Slight foam generation
– Overllingpossible
•
Properties, sensor:
– Low sensitivity to sporadic false echoes
– Stable and reliable measured values through averaging
– High accuracy, because not set for max. speed
– False signal suppression recommended
