Page 10: Mounting
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the nameplate. Switching point In general, VEGAVIB 63 can be installed in any position. The instru- ment only has to be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the desired switching point. -
Page 11: Mounting Instructions
For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube for VEGAVIB 63, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in hori- zontal position. - Page 12 The vibrating rod must be mounted in a way that takes the arrange- ment of the filling and emptying apertures into account. To compensate measurement errors caused by the material cone in cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at a distance of d/6 from the vessel wall.
