Medium
Liquid
According to the conductivity and the dielectric value of liquids,
the reflection properties can differ considerably. Therefore
additional options such as "Solvent", "Chem. mixture" and
"Water based" are offered below the menu item Liquid.
With solids, you can choose between "Powder/Dust", "Gran-
ular/Pellets" or "Ballast/Pebbels".
Through this additional selection, the sensor is adapted
perfectly to the product and measurement reliability, partic-
ularly in products with bad reflective properties, is considerably
increased.
Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys, save
your settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key.
Apart from the medium, the vessel shape can also influence
the measurement. To adapt the sensor to the measuring
conditions, this menu item offers different options depending
on whether liquid or solid. With "Liquid" these are "Storage
tank", "Stilling tube", "Open vessel" or "Stirred vessel", with
"Solid", "Silo" or "Bunker".

Storage tank
Information:
With VEGAPULS 62 with electronics version "Increased
safety", "Solid" is preset as factory setting. However, the
instrument should be used preferably in liquids. In such cases,
the vessel form should be set to "Storage tank" during setup.
Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys, save
your settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key.
To suppress fluctuation in the measured value display, e.g.
caused by a turbulent product surface, an integration time can
be set. This time can be between 0 and 999 seconds. Please
note that the reaction time of the entire measurement will be
longer and the sensor will react to quick changes of the
