133 Product descriptionVEGAPULS 69 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol47252-EN-1806271 2 3Fig. 3: Antenna systems VEGAPULS 691 Metal-jacketed lens antenna2 Plastic horn antenna3 Thread with integrated horn antennaThe instrument emits a continuous radar signal through its antenna.This signal is frequency modulated in the form of a sawtooth wave.The emitted signal is reflected by the medium and received by theantenna as an echo.The frequency of the received signal always deviates from the actualemitting frequency. The frequency difference is proportional to thedistance and thus to the filling height. This difference is calculatedvia special algorithms in the sensor electronics. The determined fill-ing height is then converted into a corresponding output signal andoutputted as the 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 testbased on ISO 4180.The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PEfoil is also used.
