Supplier Vegapuls 42 Radar Technology
WWW.DISTRIBUTORALATINDUSTRI.COM | Supplier Vegapuls 42 Radar Technology | The VEGAPULS 42 uses 80 GHz radar technology to measure the distance between the sensor and the surface of the measured medium. Radar signals are transmitted toward the product surface and the reflected echo is received by the sensor. The measured distance is then converted into a continuous level value.

Key Features
1. 80 GHz Radar Technology
The high-frequency 80 GHz radar provides a focused measurement beam and reliable level measurement. It is particularly useful where compact installation and good measurement accuracy are required.
2. Non-Contact Measurement
Since there is no probe or moving mechanical component contacting the product, the VEGAPULS 42 is essentially maintenance-free and suitable for corrosive or hygienic applications.
3. IO-Link Communication
The sensor supports IO-Link, allowing continuous digital transmission of measurement and diagnostic data and straightforward integration with modern automation/control systems.
4. 4–20 mA and PNP/NPN Output
The three-wire version provides 4–20 mA active output as well as PNP/NPN switching functionality, making it suitable for integration with PLCs and industrial control systems.
5. Bluetooth Configuration
Configuration can be performed using a smartphone, tablet, or PC via Bluetooth, simplifying commissioning and parameter adjustment.
6. Hygienic Applications
With optional hygienic connections and approvals such as 3-A, EHEDG and FDA, the VEGAPULS 42 is suitable for applications in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
