The VEGAPULS 6X Radar Sensor is a highly reliable, non-contact level measurement solution that utilizes radar technology to measure levels in liquids, solids, and bulk materials. It is ideal for applications where traditional measurement methods, such as ultrasonic or float-based, may fail due to environmental factors such as foam, dust, or extreme temperatures. This sensor offers high precision, low maintenance, and reliable performance, even in challenging process conditions.
With long-range measurement capabilities up to 70 meters, it is the perfect solution for demanding applications in industries such as chemicals, oil & gas, and mining. The sensor is designed for continuous operation with minimal maintenance, providing a robust solution for level monitoring in difficult environments.
Not Recommended For:
• Applications requiring precise measurement of very small quantities in confined spaces

THREE INTRINSIC VALUES: ACCURACY, RELIABILITY AND EASE OF USE.
Admittedly, at first glance you can’t tell what’s inside the new VEGAPULS 6X radar sensor: A high-precision level instrument that doesn’t care if its measuring liquids or bulk solids.
The new radar level sensor VEGAPULS 6X now combines the best of the previous 80 GHz, 26 GHz and 6 GHz sensors, such as VEGAPULS 64 and VEGAPULS 69, in one device.
IT security standard IEC 62443-4-2
In view of the increasing digitalisation in industry, an extremely important point is effective protection against cyber attacks. That’s why we’ve designed-in the latest IT security standard IEC 62443-4-2 into VEGAPULS 6X. It means that this sensor also meets the highest cyber-security standards currently established in the process industry.
Safety and reliability under all process conditions
No matter whether VEGAPULS 6X is operating under high temperatures or high pressure, in applications with dust, hot steam or extreme noise, it always delivers precise measuring results. This is due to its robust construction – using high-quality materials and encapsulated electronics, to optimally protect against external influences – as well as passing stringent quality tests that each and every sensor undergoes.
Risk minimisation according to SIL (IEC 61508)
Equipped with SIL 2/3, VEGAPULS 6X meets the strict, internationally standardised safety requirements that serve to protect health, the environment and products during process operations. It achieves excellent performance figures. In short: This sensor reduces safety risks and protects your system over the long term.
