mendations:
• NE 43 – Signal level for fault information from measuring transduc-
ers

1.7 Radio licenses for Europe
VEGAPULS WL 61
The instrument was tested according to the latest issues of the har-
monizedstandards:
• EN 302372 - Tank Level Probing Radar
• EN 302729 - Level Probing Radar
It is hence approved for use inside and outside closed vessels in
countries of the EU.
Use is also approved in EFTA countries, provided these standards
have been implemented.
For operation inside of closed vessels, the following conditions must
befullled:
• The instrument must be permanently mounted on a closed vessel
made of metal, reinforced concrete, or comparable attenuating
materials
• Flanges,processttingsandmountingaccessoriesmustensure
the microwave impermeability of the vessel and not let the radar
signal escape to the outside
• Ifnecessary,existingviewingwindowsinthevesselmustbe
coated with a microwave impermeable material (e.g. electrically
conductive coating)
• Manholesandangesonthevesselmustbeclosedandsealedto
avoid penetration of the radar signal
• The instrument should be preferably mounted on top of the vessel
with antenna orientation downward
• The instrument must only be installed and maintained by appropri-
atelyqualiedsta

For operation outside of closed vessels, the following conditions must
befullled:
• Theinstallationmustbecarriedoutbytrainedqualiedpersonnel
• The instrument must be stationary mounted and the antenna
directed vertically downward
• The mounting location must be at least 4 km away from radio
astronomy stations, unless special permission was granted by the
responsible national approval authority
• When installed within 4 to 40 km of a radio astronomy station,
the instrument must not be mounted higher than 15 m above the
ground.

Bluetooth radio module
The radio module used in the instrument for wireless Bluetooth com-
munication was tested by the manufacturer according to the latest
edition of the following standard:
• EN 300328 – Wideband transmission systems
It is hence for use inside closed vessels in countries of the EU and
EFTA.
1.8 Restrictions for the USA and Canada
The VEGAPULS WL 61 with wireless Bluetooth communication must
neitherbeoperatedintheUSAorCanadanorimportedorexported.
1.9 Radio license for USA/Canada

3.1 Mounting versions
Most simply mount the instrument via the straining clamp. For this
purpose, the connection cable is provided with a strain relief wire of
Kevlar.
In order to avoid faulty measured values, make sure that the sensor
does not oscillate.
> 200 mm
(7.87")
Fig. 4: Mounting via a straining clamp
For a rigid mounting, a mounting bracket with opening for thread
G1½, e.g. from the VEGA product range, is recommended. The
mounting of the sensor in the bracket is carried out via a G1½ counter
nut of plastic.Take note of chapter "Mounting instructions" for the
distance to the wall.
