It is particularly suitable for level measurement in water treat-ment, in pump stations as well as storm water overow tanks. The ood-proof IP 68 housing of VEGAPULS WL S 61 ensures a maintenance-free permanent operation. An integrated Bluetooth module enables the wireless commu-nication with smartphone, tablet or PC.Functional principleThe antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reected by the product and received by the antenna as echoes. The transit time of the radar pulses from emission to recep-tion is proportional to the distance and hence to the level. The determined level is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.3.3 AdjustmentWireless adjustmentThe adjustment of VEGAPULS WL S 61 is carried out via standard adjustment instruments:• Smartphone/tablet (iOS or Android opera-ting system)• PC/notebook with Bluetooth USB adapter (Windows operating system)1423Abb. 19: Wireless connection to standard operating devices1 Sensor2 Smartphone/Tablet3 Bluetooth USB adapter4 PC/Notebook3.4 Packaging, transport and storagePackagingYour instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test based on ISO 4180.The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised recycling companies.TransportTransport must be carried out in due conside-ration of the notes on the transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause damage to the device.Transport inspectionThe delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit damage immediately at re-ceipt. Ascertained transit damage or concealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.StorageUp to the time of installation, the packages

328 Diagnosis, asset management and serviceVEGAPULS WL S 61 • 4 … 20 mA54408-01-1806058 Diagnosis, asset manage-ment and service8.1 MaintenanceMaintenanceIf the instrument is used correctly, no mainte-nance is required in normal operation.CleaningThe cleaning helps that the type label and mar-kings on the instrument are visible.Take note of the following:• Use only cleaning agents which do not cor-rode the housings, type label and seals• Use only cleaning methods corresponding to the housing protection rating8.2 Measured value and event memoryThe instrument has several memories available for diagnostic purposes. The data remain there even in case of voltage interruption.Measured value memoryUp to 100,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring memory. Each entry con-tains date/time as well as the respective measu-red value. Storable values are for example:• Distance• Filling height• Percentage value• Lin. percent• Scaled• Current value• Measurement reliability• Electronics temperatureWhen the instrument is shipped, the measured value memory is active and stores distance, measurement reliability and electronics tempe-rature every 3 minutes.The requested values and recording conditions are set via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. Data are thus read out and also reset.Event memoryUp to 500 events are automatically stored with a time stamp in the sensor (non-deletable). Each entry contains date/time, event type, event de-scription and value. Event types are for example:• Modication of a parameter• Switch-on and switch-o times• Status messages (according to NE 107)• Error messages (according to NE 107)The data are read out via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD.Echo curve memoryThe echo curves are stored with date and time and the corresponding echo data. The memory is divided into two sections:Echo curve of the setup: This is used as reference echo curve for the measurement conditions during setup. Changes in the measu-rement conditions during operation or buildup on the sensor can thus be recognized. The echo curve of the setup is stored via:• PC with PACTware/DTM • Control system with EDD • Display and adjustment moduleFurther echo curves: Up to 10 echo curves can be stored in a ring buer in this memory section. Additional echo curves are stored via:• PC with PACTware/DTM • Control system with EDD 8.3 Asset Management functionThe instrument features self-monitoring and diagnostics according to NE 107 and VDI/VDE 2650. In addition to the status messages in the following tables there are more detailed error messages available under the menu item "Diagnostics" via app or PACTware/DTM.Status messagesThe status messages are divided into the following categories:• Failure• Function check• Out of specication• Maintenance requirementand explained by pictographs:41 2 3Abb. 29: Pictographs of the status messages1 Failure - red2 Outofspecication-yellow3 Function check - orange4 Maintenance - blue
338 Diagnosis, asset management and serviceVEGAPULS WL S 61 • 4 … 20 mA54408-01-180605Failure: Due to a malfunction in the instrument, a fault message is outputted.Function check: The instrument is being worked on, the measured value is temporarily invalid (for example during simulation).Outofspecication: The measured value is unreliable because an instrument specication was exceeded (e.g. electronics temperature).Maintenance: Due to external inuences, the instrument function is limited. The measurement is aected, but the measured value is still valid.

In many cases, the reasons can be determined in this way and faults rectied.Check the 4 … 20 mA signalConnect a multimeter in the suitable measuring range according to the wiring plan. The following table describes possible errors in the current signal and helps to eliminate them:

The service itself is free of charge, the only costs involved are the normal call charges.8.5 How to proceed if a repair is necessaryYou can nd an instrument return form as well as detailed information about the proce-dure in the download area of our homepage: www.vega.com. By doing this you help us carry out the repair quickly and without having to call back for needed information.In case of repair, proceed as follows:• Print and ll out one form per instrument• Clean the instrument and pack it damage-proof• Attach the completed form and, if need be, also a safety data sheet outside on the packaging• Ask the agency serving you to get the address for the return shipment. You can nd the agency on our home page www.vega.com.9 Dismount9.1 Dismounting stepsWarning:Before dismounting, be aware of dangerous process conditions such as e.g. pressure in the vessel or pipeline, high temperatures, corrosive or toxic products etc.Take note of chapters "Mounting" and "Connec-ting to power supply" and carry out the listed steps in reverse order.9.2 DisposalThe instrument consists of materials which can be recycled by specialised recycling companies. We use recyclable materials and have designed the electronics to be easily separable.Correct disposal avoids negative eects on humans and the environment and ensures recycling of useful raw materials.Materials: see chapter "Technical data"If you have no way to dispose of the old instru-ment properly, please contact us concerning return and disposal.WEEE directive 2012/19/EUThis instrument is not subject to the WEEE directive 2012/19/EU and the respective nati-onal laws. Pass the instrument directly on to a specialised recycling company and do not use the municipal collecting points. These may be used only for privately used products according to the WEEE directive.
