4 VEGAPULS 42 and 44 – 4 … 20 mA
Quick start
Quick start
In the majority of applications, the radar sen-
sor displays the distance to the product
surface immediately after the power supply is
switched on. You only have to carry out the
empty and full adjustment so that at your
required empty and full distances, 4 mA and
20 mA, respectively, are outputted.
However, it is always useful, especially under
difficult measurement conditions (process
tanks, stirrers, filling stream, vessel installa-
tions), to carry out a sensor optimisation, see
chapter "6 Setup“.
Quick start with the PC
Configuration
Start the adjustment software VVO ³2.60 with
the user level " Planning “.
• Click to …
… and enter a name for the measurement
loop.
• Choose under " Application “ e.g. " Level “.
• Confirm with " OK “.
Adjustment
• Click to " Instrument data/Parameter adjust-
ment “.
• Click in the window " Adjustment “ to " Min/
Max adjustment  and choose " no (adjust-
ment without medium ) “ in the following
window „ Min/Max adjustment “.
• Click to „ OK “.
• Enter the distance of the sensor to the
product surface at 0 % (empty) and at
100 % (full) in meters.
• Activate the two boxes " Carry out adjust-
ment  and click to „ OK “.
You are again in the window " Adjustment “.
• Click in the window " Adjustment “ to " Quit “.
The sensor will now output at the adjusted
empty distance 4 mA and at the full distance
20 mA. In the example, the sensor calibrates
the span of 5.85 m to 1.27 m
to the signal range of 4 … 20 mA.
• Then click to " Adjustment “.
