Quick start
VEGAPULS WL 61 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire
38061-EN-121011
Quick start
The quick start enables a quick setup with many applications. You
can nd further information in the respective chapters of the operating
instructions manual.
1. Distance antenna to vessel wall > 200 mm
2. Orientation with mounting strap
> 200 mm
(7.87
")
Fig. 1: Distance antenna to vessel wall, orientation with mounting strap
For further information see chapter "Mounting".
1. Make sure that the power supply corresponds to the specica-
tions on the type label.
2. Connect the instrument according to the following illustration:

For further information see chapter "Connecting to power supply".
1. Connect interface adapter
2. Start PACTware and then start the "VEGA project assistant".
3. Start the setup assistant in the DTM window and carry out the
predetermined steps.
The radar sensor measures the distance from the sensor to the
product surface. For indication of the real level, an allocation of the
measured distance to the percentage height must be carried out.

Fig. 3: Parameterization example
1 Min. level = max. meas. distance
2 Max. level = min. meas. distance
For this adjustment, the distance is entered for min. and max. level.
If these values are not known, an adjustment with distances, for
example, of 10 % and 90 % is also possible. Starting point for these
distance specications is always the seal surface of the ange.
1. In the menu "Additional settings", menu item "Damping" you have
to adjust the requested damping of the output signal.
2. Select the output characteristics in the menu item "Current out-
put".
The quick start is then nished. For further information see chapter
"Set up with PACTware".

Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly
used according to the specications in the operating instructions
manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
2.3 Warning about incorrect use
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to
application-specic hazards, e.g. vessel overll or damage to system
components through incorrect mounting or adjustment.
2.4 General safety instructions
This is a state-of-the-art instrument complying with all prevailing
regulations and guidelines. The instrument must only be operated in a
technically awless and reliable condition. The operator is responsible

menting this radio standard at a later date: Finland and Hungary.
For operation outside of closed vessels, the following conditions must
be fullled:
• The installation must be carried out by trained qualied personnel
• The instrument must be stationary mounted and the antenna
directed vertically downward
• The mounting location must be at least 4 km away from the radio
astronomy stations listed in the supplement, unless special per-
mission was granted by the responsible national approval authority
• When installed within 4 to 40 km of one of the radio astronomy sta-
tions listed in the supplyment, the instrument must not be mounted
higher than 15 m above the ground.
2.8 Environmental instructions
Protection of the environment is one of our most important duties.
That is why we have introduced an environment management system
with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro-
