VEGA VEGAMIP R61 Radar Level Switch

Product Overview

Level Switch VEGA VEGAMIP R61

VEGA VEGAMIP R61 radar level switch is the receiving unit of the microwave barrier for level detection of bulk solids and liquids and is ideal for bulk solids within silos, bunkers and crushers and liquid detection in tubes and vessels.

The VEGAMIP R61 ensures reliable measurement even with very abrasive products and changing product features, utilising a non-contact measuring principle which also guarantees wear and maintenance-free permanent operation.

VEGAMIP R61 LEVEL Switch HAZARDOUS AREA CERTIFICATIONS

VEGAMIP R61 radar level switch is available with hazardous area certifications to meet ATEX & IECEx directives for Zone 1 and Zone 2 installations.

ATEX & IECEX Approvals

ATEX II 1/2G, 2G Ex d IIC, II 1D, 1/2D, 1/3D, 2D Ex t IIIC

ATEX II 1D, 1/2D, 1/3D, 2D Ex t IIIC T* Da, Da/Db, Db IP66

VEGA level switches are suitable for use in hazardous areas and their instruments also have various ship approvals such as e.g. DNV, GL, LRS or ABS.

Function

The measuring system consists of a microwave emitter and a corresponding receiver. The emitted signal is focused by an antenna system
and radiated in the direction of the receiver.

A medium in the path of the beam damps the signal. This signal damping is detected by the receiver and converted into a switching signal.

The built-in sensitivity adjustment makes it easy to adapt the instrument to the local conditions and the
medium.
