The VEGAPULS 31 Compact radar sensor is designed for non-contact level monitoring, making it ideal for applications involving liquids and bulk solids. It is particularly useful in industries such as water treatment, acid and lye storage tanks, as well as for monitoring plastic tanks externally through the tank walls.

Key Features:

• Maintenance-Free Operation: Uses non-contact 80 GHz radar technology for continuous and reliable measurements.
• Accurate Measurements: Provides precise level readings independent of medium properties, such as variations in composition or process conditions.
• User-Friendly Display: Includes a local display that allows easy monitoring of the sensor’s operational status.
• Radar Technology: The sensor emits radar waves, which are reflected by the medium. The difference in frequencies between the emitted and received signals is proportional to the filling height, which is then converted into a measurable output signal.

Material and Design:

• Wetted Parts: Made of PVDF for durability and chemical resistance.
• Process Seal: Made of FKM for secure sealing in different environments.
• Housing: Constructed from PBT plastic with an IP66/IP67 protection rating, ensuring resistance against dust and water ingress.

Electronics Version:

• The sensor is available with 4 … 20 mA/HART output electronics, ensuring compatibility with various control systems.

Approvals:

• VEGAPULS 31 comes with worldwide approvals, including those for use in hazardous areas, on ships, or in hygienic applications. Specific safety instructions should be referenced for approved devices, especially those with Ex certification.

This sensor is ideal for straightforward industrial level monitoring tasks, offering ease of installation, reliable operation, and minimal maintenance.
