VEGAPULS SR 68 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol

47164-EN-180226

Depending on the instrument version, the emitting frequencies are in 

the C, K or W band range. The low emission power is far below the 

internationally approved limit values. When used correctly, the device 

poses no danger to health.

1.5  EU conformity

The device fulfils the legal requirements of the applicable EU direc

-

tives. By affixing the CE marking, we confirm the conformity of the 

instrument with these directives.

You can find the EU conformity declaration on our website under 

www.vega.com/downloads.
Electromagnetic compatibility

Instruments in four-wire or Ex-d-ia version are designed for use in an 

industrial environment. Nevertheless, electromagnetic interference 

from electrical conductors and radiated emissions must be taken into 

account, as is usual with class A instruments according to EN 61326-

1. If the instrument is used in a different environment, the electromag

-

netic compatibility to other instruments must be ensured by suitable 

measures.

1.6  NAMUR recommendations

NAMUR is the automation technology user association in the process 

industry in Germany. The published NAMUR recommendations are 

accepted as the standard in field instrumentation.
The device fulfils the requirements of the following NAMUR recom

-

mendations:

• 

NE 21 – Electromagnetic compatibility of equipment

• 

NE 53 – Compatibility of field devices and display/adjustment 

components

• 

NE 107 - Self-monitoring and diagnosis of field devices

For further information see www.namur.de.

1.7  Radio license for Europe

The instrument was tested according to the latest issue of the follow-

ing harmonized standards:

• 

EN 302372 - Tank Level Probing Radar

It is hence approved for use inside closed vessels in countries of the 

EU.

Use is also approved in EFTA countries, provided the respective 

standards have been implemented.

For operation inside of closed vessels, points a to f in annex E of 

EN 302372 must be fulfilled.

1.8  Radio license for USA

This approval is only valid for USA. Hence the following text is only 

available in the English language.
