3 Product description
ment, in pump stations as well as storm water
overflow tanks. The flood-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 principle
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short
radar pulses with a duration of approx. 1 ns.
These pulses are reflected 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.
