During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. 2.2 Appropriate use The VEGASWING 51 is a sensor for level detection. You can find detailed information on the application range in chapter "Product description".
2.6 CE conformity This device fulfills the legal requirements of the applicable EC guidelines. By attaching the CE mark, VEGA provides a confirmation of successful testing. You can find the CE conformity declaration in the download area of www.vega.com.
The scope of delivery encompasses: VEGASWING 51 point level switch Test magnet Documentation this operating instructions manual if necessary, certificates The VEGASWING 51 consists of the components: Constituent parts Housing with electronics Process fitting with tuning fork Fig. 1: VEGASWING 51 Type label The type label contains the most important data for identification and...
Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. With a tuning fork of only 40 mm length, VEGASWING 51 can be also mounted e.g. in pipelines from DN 32. The small tuning fork allows use in vessels, tanks and pipes.
Not exposed to corrosive media Protected against solar radiation Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration Storage and transport Storage and transport temperature see chapter "Supplement - temperature Technical data - Ambient conditions" Relative humidity 20 … 85 % VEGASWING 51 • - transistor (PNP)
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the type label. In general, VEGASWING 51 can be installed in any position. The Switching point instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.

Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGASWING 51 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.
VEGASWING 51 is in the same position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied flat seal from the thread of VEGASWING 51. This flat seal is not required when using a welded socket with front-flush seal. Before welding, unscrew VEGASWING 51 and remove the rubber ring from the welded socket.

The position of the tuning fork is indicated by a marking on the hexagon of VEGASWING 51. With this, you can check the position of the tuning fork when screwing it in. When the hexagon touches the seal, the thread can still be turned by approx.
Use cable with a round wire cross section and tighten the cable gland. When mounting outdoors, on cooled vessels or in moist areas in which cleaning is made with steam or high pressure, the sealing of the cable gland is very important. VEGASWING 51 • - transistor (PNP)
Depending on the version, protection IP 66/IP 67 or IP 68 (0.2 bar). Valve plug ISO 4400 For this plug version, standard cable with round wire cross-section can be used. Cable diameter 4.5 … 7 mm, protection IP 65. VEGASWING 51 • - transistor (PNP)
