103 Product descriptionVEGAPULS SR 68 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol41371-EN-140209The 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 transit time of the radarpulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance andhence to the level. The determined level is converted into an appropri-ate 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 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. Dispose of the packaging material via specialisedrecycling companies.Transport must be carried out in due 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 or con-cealed 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:• Not in the open• Dry and dust free• Not exposed to corrosive media• Protected against solar radiation• Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration• Storage and transport temperature see chapter "Supplement -Technical data - Ambient conditions"• Relative humidity 20 … 85 %3.4 Accessories and replacement partsThe display and adjustment module PLICSCOM is used for measuredvalue indication, adjustment and diagnosis. It can be inserted into thesensor or the external display and adjustment unit and removed atany time.You can find further information in the operating instructions "Displayand adjustment module PLICSCOM" (Document-ID 27835).The interface adapter VEGACONNECT enables the connection ofcommunication-capable instruments to the USB interface of a PC.
