Radar sensor VEGAPULS WL 61 – the Specialist for Water Management Level measurement of water and sewage The radar sensor VEGAPULS WL 61 was developed especially for use in water and sewage management. Compared with ultrasonic technology, which is commonly used in the area of water/sewage, radar measurement offers many advantages. For one thing, radar gauges operate completely independent of wind movements, fog or rain. And thanks to its high measuring sensitivity, the radar sensor really brings its advantages to bear under conditions of light foam generation. Because of its resistance to temperature influences, the radar sensor is fundamentally more accurate than ultrasonic devices when it comes to flow-rate measurement in rivers, canals or open flumes.   Area of application The new radar sensor VEGAPULS WL 61 covers the many areas of application in water management: the application spectrum of this gauge specialized in water and sewage measurement extends from level measurement in pump shafts or in rain overflow basins  to flow-rate measurement in open flumes right up to level measurement of rivers and lakes.   Advantages VEGAPULS WL 61 offers simple, reliable continuous level measurement of water and sewage: Non-contact measurement Simple installation Wear and maintenance-free Independent of temperature, weather influences as well as foam generation High measuring precision Technical data Measuring range up to 15 m   Process fitting DN80, mounting strap or flange Process temperature -40 … +80 °C Process pressure -1 … +2 bar (-100 … +200 kPa) Measuring precision ±2 mm Transmitting frequency K band Documentation Product catalogue Radar VEGAPULS Specification sheet - VEGAPULS WL 61 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire  Profibus PA  Foundation Fieldbus  Operating Instructions - VEGAPULS WL 61 4 … 20 mA/HART - two-wire Profibus PA Foundation Fieldbus     Please call for more RADAR THE PULSE product information 1-800-755-4507
