7. The VEGAPULS 69 is a radar sensor for continuous level measure ment of bulk solids even under the most difficult process conditions and in wide measuring ranges It is ideal for use in high slender silos with poorely reflection bulk Solids such as flyash plastic granules or wood chips as well as strong false reflections by installations This is made possible thanks to the functional principle a distance measurement through frequency shift ing with a particularly small antenna opening angle The instrument is available with different antenna systems and equip ment for virtually all applications and processes e Plastic horn antenna or metal jacketed lens antenna e Optional or integrated rinsing air connection e Swivelling holder with seal against the process The instrument emits a continuous radar signal via its antenna This signal is frequency modulated with a sawtooth form The emitted sig nal is reflected by the medium and received by the antenna as echo The frequency of the received signal always deviates from the actual emitting frequency The frequency difference is proportional to the distance and thus to the filling height This difference is calculated VEGAPULS 69 HART and accumulator pack 9 3 Product description VEGA Voltage supply Packaging Transport Transport inspection Storage Storage and transport via special algorithms in the sensor electronics The determined fill ing height is the
