The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with aduration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the productand received by the antenna as echoes. The running time of the radarpulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance andhence to the level. The determined level is converted into anappropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.3.3 Packaging, transport and storageYour instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Itscapacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a testaccording to DIN EN 24180.The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE foilis also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialisedrecycling companies.Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes on thetransport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can causedamage to the device.The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transitdamage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage orconcealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed andstored according to the orientation and storage markings on theoutside.Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only underthe following conditions:l Not in the openl Dry and dust freel Not exposed to corrosive medial Protected against solar radiationl Avoiding mechanical shock and vibrationl Storage and transport temperature see chapter "Supplement -Technical data - Ambient conditions"l Relative humidity 20 … 85 %3.4 Accessories and replacement partsThe indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM is used formeasured value indication, adjustment and diagnosis. It can beinserted into the sensor and removed at any time.You can find further information in the operating instructions "Indicatingand adjustment module PLICSCOM" (Document-ID 27835).Functional principlePackagingTransportTransport inspectionStorageStorage and transporttemperatureIndicating and adjust-ment module10 VEGAPULS 62 standpipe version • Foundation Fieldbus3 Product description36510-EN-120301
