VEGAPULS 21 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART
58351-EN-210422
3.2 Principle of operation
VEGAPULS 21 is a radar sensor for non-contact, continuous level
measurement. It is suitable for liquids and solids in practically all
industries.
The instrument emits a continuous, frequency-modulated radar signal
throughitsantenna.Theemittedsignalisreectedbythemedium
andreceivedbytheantennaasanechowithmodiedfrequency.The
frequency change is proportional to the distance and is converted into
the level.
3.3 Adjustment
Devices with integrated Bluetooth module can be adjusted wirelessly
via standard adjustment tools:
Smartphone/tablet (iOS or Android operating system)
PC/notebook with Bluetooth USB adapter (Windows operating
system)

3.4 Packaging, transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
based on ISO 4180.
The packaging consists of environment-friendly, recyclable card-
board. For special versions, PE foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose
of the packaging material via specialised recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-
cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
Not in the open
Dry and dust free
Not exposed to corrosive media
Protected against solar radiation
Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration

4.1 General instructions
The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient condi-
tions acc. to DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. It can be used
indoors as well as outdoors.
Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissibleprocessconditions.Youcannddetailedinformationon
the process conditions in chapter " Technical data" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
Active measuring component
Processtting
Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
Process pressure
Process temperature
Chemical properties of the medium
Abrasionandmechanicalinuences
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
measures:
Use a suitable connection cable (see chapter " Connecting to
power supply")
Tighten the cable gland or plug connector
Lead the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry or
plug connector
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high
humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled
or heated vessels.
Note:
Make sure that during installation or maintenance no moisture or dirt
can get inside the instrument.
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.
4.2 Mounting instructions
Radar sensors for level measurement emit electromagnetic waves.
The polarization is the direction of the electrical component of these
waves.
The polarization direction is marked on the housing, see following
drawing:

ture

Note:
When the housing is rotated, the direction of polarization changes
andhencetheinuenceofthefalseechoonthemeasuredvalue.
Please keep this in mind when mounting or making changes later.
When mounting the device, keep a distance of at least 200 mm
(7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the device is installed in the center
of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However,
these can be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter
" Set up").
If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false
signal suppression during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on
the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating
the false signal suppression at a later date with existing buildup.

In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
device in the centre of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the bottom.

Note:
When mounting on longer nozzles, we recommend carrying out a
false signal suppression (see chapter " Parameter adjustment").
The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
otherequipmentorxturescrossthepathoftheradarsignals.
Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spi-
rals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo.
Make sure when planning your measuring point that the radar sensor
has a " clear view" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false signal suppression
should be carried out during setup.
If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false
echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures.

In liquids, direct the device as perpendicular as possible to the me-
dium surface to achieve optimum measurement results.

If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal suppression should
be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the
interferingreectionsfromtheagitatorsaresavedwiththebladesin

5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Carryoutelectricalconnectionbytrained,qualiedpersonnel
authorised by the plant operator
Warning:
Only connect or disconnect in de-energized state.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
Note:
Power the instrument via an energy-limited circuit (power max. 100 W)
acc. to IEC 61010-1, e.g.
Class 2 power supply unit (acc. to UL1310)
SELV power supply unit (safety extra-low voltage) with suitable
internal or external limitation of the output current
Keepinmindthefollowingadditionalfactorsthatinuencetheoperat-
ing voltage:
Lower output voltage of the power supply unit under nominal load
(e.g. with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault)
Inuenceofadditionalinstrumentsinthecircuit(seeloadvaluesin
chapter " Technical data")
Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and
cablegland.Toensurethesealeectofthecablegland(IPprotection
rating),ndoutwhichcableouterdiameterthecableglandissuitable
for.
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable. If electro-
magnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of
EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, shielded cable should be used.
Note:
Shielded cable generally necessary in HART multidrop mode.
Note:
If the temperatures are too high, the cable insulation can be dam-
aged. Hence keep apart from the ambient temperature also the self-
heating of the instrument for the temperature resistance of the cable
in the connection compartment in mind

.
Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable gland
is screwed in at the factory. It is sealed with plastic plugs as transport
protection.
You have to remove this plug before electrical connection.

NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it
is not possible to have the cable entry screwed in at the factory. The
cable gland is therefore covered with a red dust protection cap as
transport protection.
Note:
To ensure the housing protection class, you must replace this protec-
tive cap with an approved NPT cable gland before setup.
Note:
Do not use grease when screwing in the NPT cable gland or a conduit
steel pipe.
Maximum torque see chapter " Technical data".
We recommend to connect the cable screening to ground potential at
one end on the supply side when using shielded cable.
5.2 Connecting
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
Note:
Fixedconductorsandexibleconductorswithferrulescanbe
inserteddirectlyintotheterminalopenings.Inthecaseofexible
conductors for opening the terminals, use a screwdriver (3 mm blade
width) to push the actuator lever away from the terminal opening.
When released, the terminals are closed again.
