    Mounting instructions Welding socket The thread and the seal on the threaded version of VEGASWING 66 correspond to DIN 3852 part 1, screwed plug Form B (sealing via metallic sealing edge).
  • Page 15 (1.16 in). To mount the sensor, proceed as follows: 1. Screw the VEGASWING 66 into the mounting boss up to the stop. You can determine the later position already before welding. 2. Mark the position of the VEGASWING 66 on the mounting boss.
  • Page 16 GASWING 66 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. This applies particularly to instrument types with long extension tube. Fig. 9: Inflowing medium Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of VEGASWING 66 generates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement. Agitators Due to the effects of agitators, equipment vibration or similar, the level switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces.
  • Page 17 See "Technical data". Caution: If it is determined (e.g. via an error message from VEGASWING 66) that medium has already penetrated into the vibrating element, the instrument must be exchanged immediately.
