This document provides information for setting up Vega radar sensors installed on Heatec tanks that store liquid asphalt (Figure 1). It applies to VEGA PULS 65.UX sensors (Figure 2) with Indicating and Adjustment Module PLICSCOM (Figure 3). It applies to Heatec vertical tanks with capacities ranging from 10,000 to 35,000 gallons. The sensors are optional equipment for Heatec tanks.

The sensors indicate levels of asphalt in the tanks. Levels are shown in feet, measured from the bottom of the tank.

This document is furnished with Heatec vertical tanks equipped with the sensor. Manual 28442-EN-030925, entitled Operating Instructions, VEGAPULS 65 (published by Vega) is also furnished. Both documents are needed to set up the radar sensors for Heatec tanks.

The sensors require a preliminary setup and a final setup. The preliminary setup is normally done at the Heatec factory. The final setup should be done in the field after the tank is operational. If a new sensor is installed in the field, and the preliminary setup was not done at Heatec, it must be done before final setup can be done.
