6 Set up the sensor with the display and adjustment module
VEGAPULS 63 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol
41364-EN-170711
– Extreme damping of output signal due to wave generation
– Ice and condensation on the antenna possible
– Spiders and insects build nests in the antennas
– Floating material and animals sporadically appear on water
surface
•
Properties, sensor:
– Stable and reliable measured values through frequent averag-
ing
– Insensitive in the close range
Openume(owmeasurement):
•
Rate of level change: slow level change
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Ice and condensation on the antenna possible
– Spiders and insects build nests in the antennas
– Smooth water surface
– Exact measurement result required
– Distance to the water surface normally relatively large
•
Properties, sensor:
– Stable and reliable measured values through frequent averag-
ing
– Insensitive in the close range
Rain water overfall (weir):
•
Rate of level change: slow level change
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Ice and condensation on the antenna possible
– Spiders and insects build nests in the antennas
– Turbulent water surface
– Sensoroodingpossible
•
Properties, sensor:
– Stable and reliable measured values through frequent averag-
ing
– Insensitive in the close range
Demonstration:
•
Adjustment for all applications which are not typically level meas-
urement
– Instrument demonstration
– Object recognition/monitoring (additional settings required)
•
Properties, sensor:
– Sensor accepts all measured value changes within the measur-
ing range immediately
– High sensitivity to interference, because virtually no averaging

example through condensation, the radar sensor can detect under
certain circumstances only the medium with the higher dielectric
constant. Keep in mind that layer interfaces can cause faulty meas-
urements.
