The VEGAPULS 11 Compact radar sensor is an advanced solution for non-contact level monitoring, designed for use in various industrial settings. Here's a summary of its key features and benefits:

Key Features:

• Non-contact Measurement: Utilizes 80 GHz radar technology to provide maintenance-free, reliable measurement without physical contact with the medium.
• Precise Measurement: Delivers exact measurement results regardless of the medium’s properties or process conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure, or product variations).
• Durability: Built for long-term use with high plant availability, ensuring wear and maintenance-free operation.
• Wide Application Range: Perfect for liquid and bulk solid monitoring in straightforward applications, such as water treatment, storage tanks (acids, lyes, additives), and plastic tanks. It also works for bulk solids in open containers or small silos.
• Signal Transmission: The radar sensor emits a continuous signal through an antenna, which is reflected by the medium. The frequency difference between the emitted and received signals corresponds to the distance and filling height.
• Material Construction: The wetted parts are made of PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride), and the process seal is FKM (Fluoroelastomer).
• Protection Rating: The housing is constructed from PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) plastic with IP66/IP67 protection ratings, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• Output Signal: The sensor features two-wire electronics with a 4–20 mA output signal.
• Global Approvals: The sensor has various worldwide certifications, including for hazardous areas, marine environments, and hygienic applications.

Benefits:

• Maintenance-Free: Due to its non-contact measuring principle, it eliminates wear and tear, reducing maintenance needs.
• Reliable in Various Conditions: It operates well in both liquid and bulk solid applications, regardless of external factors like temperature or pressure fluctuations.
• Easy Integration: The sensor is designed for straightforward installations and uses, making it ideal for industrial processes.

Application Examples:

• Water treatment plants
• Chemical storage tanks (acids, lyes)
• Plastic tank level monitoring
• Bulk solid storage in open containers and silos

The VEGAPULS 11 offers a durable, reliable, and cost-effective solution for industries needing precise level monitoring in challenging conditions.
