VEGA VEGASON 62 Ultrasonic Level Sensor
01Product Overview
VEGA VEGASON 62 is a non-contact ultrasonic level sensor for continuous measurement of liquids and bulk solids. Its two-wire measuring principle, PVDF transducer, threaded process connection, and multiple output options support storage vessels, sumps, open basins, and solids applications where the process medium should not contact the sensor.

03Features
Design and Functions
- Non-contact measurement avoids direct process-medium contact at the transducer face.
- The 0.4 m blocking distance must be included in vessel and mounting calculations.
- Separate ranges are specified for liquids and bulk solids because echo behavior differs by application.
- The PVDF transducer and G2 or 2 in NPT connection support common process mounting arrangements.
- Multiple signal families allow analog/HART or digital fieldbus integration when the exact electronics option is selected.
- PLICSCOM and PACTware/DTM provide local or PC-based setup paths.
- Application commissioning includes vessel geometry, false-signal suppression, product properties, and the required measurement span.
Product Identity
Manufacturer: VEGA
Model: VEGASON 62
Product Type: Ultrasonic Level Sensor
04Applications
- Liquid storage tanks and process vessels.
- Wastewater sumps, basins, and open-channel level duties where the selected installation is suitable.
- Bulk-solids bins with measuring distances within the specified solids range.
- Non-contact level measurement where condensation, foam, turbulence, dust, or obstructions are evaluated during engineering.
05Lifecycle & Replacement
- Order and replacement selection must use the complete VEGASON 62 configuration, not only the family name.
- Verify process connection, transducer material, electronics, signal protocol, housing, cable entry, approvals, and SIL requirement.
- Record vessel dimensions, reference plane, blocking distance, min/max level, false echoes, product properties, and DCS scaling before exchange.
- A newer ultrasonic or radar instrument is not automatically a direct replacement; frequency, beam geometry, dead zone, connection, approvals, and configuration must be reviewed.
- Commission the installed sensor with the approved VEGA adjustment tool and validate the entire level range.
FAQFrequently Asked Questions
What is
VEGASON 62 is a non-contact ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids and bulk solids.
Which system or application is it designed for?
It is used on compatible vessels, basins, sumps, and solids containers within the documented measuring range and process limits.
What must be matched before ordering?
Match the complete model or article number, installed hardware revision, electrical ratings, interfaces, wiring, approvals, and project configuration.
What information should be recorded before replacement?
Record the full order code, process connection, housing, electronics, protocol, approvals, vessel geometry, blocking distance, level span, false echoes, and control-system scaling.
How should lifecycle or migration be handled?
Select any replacement by measurement principle, beam geometry, range, dead zone, mechanical connection, signal protocol, and approvals.
What should be checked after installation?
Verify mounting, echo curve, false-signal suppression, zero and span, current or fieldbus signal, alarms, and measured level across the operating range.
