Radar level transmitters from VEGA – small, inexpensive and unbeatable:

Radar level transmitters are the key to process reliability

VEGAPULS BASIC radar sensors are perfect for precise level measurement of liquids and bulk solids – offering excellent performance in all standard applications.

The VEGA BASIC series was introduced in 2020 to also make the advantages of radar technology available and affordable for standard applications. For measuring points where the complex, high-end technology of the VEGA PRO series is overdesigned, the VEGA BASIC series is ideal, as it focuses only on the essentials: precise measurement, simple installation and economical operation.
Thanks to innovative 80-GHz radar technologyt, the transmitters deliver exact measured values even in difficult environments. Dust, noise or coarse bulk solids do not affect the measurements – a decisive advantage in industrial automation.

Compact, economical, powerful: The VEGAPULS BASIC series

Thanks to their good focusing, radar transmitters deliver reliable measuring results even in confined spaces or in containers with many internal installations

Their ease of use makes VEGA BASIC sensors particularly attractive in a wide range of industries, such as the water and wastewater industry, the food industry, the chemical industry and the building materials industry.

Measurement from the outside – right through the walls of the plastic container: The completely non-contact , external measurement capability enables IBC tanks to be exchanged without having to dismount the instrument.

Although the focus was initially on the water and wastewater industry, it quickly became apparent that all other industries dealing with liquids or bulk solids also needed economical and highly reliable solutions for peripheral applications.

Level sensors in hazardous areas – safety without additional expenditure

Thanks to their Ex protection for Zones 1 and 2, radar transmitters from the VEGA BASIC series enable safe and reliable level measurement in hazardous areas without additional costs.

A special highlight: VEGA is the only supplier to offer radar level transmitters with fully encapsulated electronic components. This allows the instruments to operate safely and reliably even in hazardous areas (dust Ex and gas Ex) without additional installation measures. Standard cables are sufficient, additional barriers not needed.

This not only means greater safety, but also noticeable cost savings in planning and project development.

Digital networking at no extra cost: VEGA Tools app

The VEGA Tools app makes it easier to operate VEGAPULS level sensors via smartphone.

With the free VEGA Tools app, the sensors can be set up, monitored and serviced via Bluetooth. The integrated “Backup & Restore” feature also saves time during maintenance, reduces downtime and simplifies sensor replacement.
For industry, this means: lower operating costs, greater transparency and future-proof process optimisation.

Advantages of the VEGA BASIC series at a glance

The compact radar level transmitters with VEGA 80-GHz technology, guarantee precision and maintenance-free operation, especially for standard processes.

The radar sensors of the BASIC series offer many unique features that make them the first choice in level measurement:

• Simple installation without specialized knowledge: “Install, connect, done.”
• Economy: Today, radar level is no more expensive than ultrasonic – but superior in every respect.
• High reliability built into every detail: Fully encapsulated electronics, robust materials like PDVF for the housing and cable entry, and chemically resistant PUR cabling ensure longevity.
• Ex protection: Suitable for Zones 1 and 2, without additional barriers or accessories.
• Maintenance free: Non-contact measurement means no wearing parts.
• Digital connectivity: Setup and diagnostics via VEGA Tools app and Bluetooth.

Level measurement technology at the next level

The VEGAPULS BASIC series radar transmitters are the ideal solution for accurate, non-contact level measurement in standard applications, especially where a high protection class and really good signal focusing are required.

The VEGAPULS BASIC series combines the best of two worlds: the precision of radar technology and the economy of compact standard solutions. With the VEGAPULS BASIC series,VEGA is setting new standards in level measurement of liquids and bulk solids.
