Antenna possibilities VEGPULS 68

PTFE cover
Temperature range up to 130 C Less buildup to the surface Less signal damping with built up Highly chemical resistant

Seal antenna system

O-Ring inside the cover Gasket at process connection

Electrostatic protection Easy to retrofit at existing antennas Attention: Bigger diameter of the antenna!

VEGAPULS plicsplus, solid applications October 2010 Page 4 Andreas Bregger

Antenna possibilities VEGPULS 68

Air purging connection
It will keep the antenna clean inside. Buildup inside the antenna system causes signal damping and false echoes Useful also for antenna cooling

Available for 75 mm, 95 mm and parabolic antennas

You will get the best cleaning effect with 75 mm antennas Not available for graphite ceramic 450 C version

Non return valve at Ex applications No retrofit possible, special antenna system!

Antenna possibilities VEGPULS 68

Cover bag Gore-Tex
Temperature range up to 130 C Buildup will fall off automatically when the flexible membrane due to pneumatic filling is shaking.

Seal at parabolic antenna

Gasket made of silicon Tightening strap V4A

Easy to retrofit at existing antennas Attention: Bigger diameter of the antenna! No air purging allowed!

Standing rule for false signal suppression

El eco generado por el producto tiene que ser de mayor potencia que los ecos falsos suprimidos.

VEGAPULS plicsplus, solid applications October 2010 Page 29 Andreas Bregger

Standing rule for false signal suppression

Si el eco producido por el producto no es mas alto que la lnea de supresin de ecos falsos, el eco ser ocultado por dicha lnea. El software buscar el prximo eco valido y el valor saltar a este.

Wood chip, wood flakes silo

Buildup at the antenna creates antenna ringing and decreases the echo amplitude. Solution is air purging
