    6 Set up As a default setting, the potentiometer of VEGAVIB 61 is set to the complete right position (> 0.3 g/cm³/0.011 lbs/in³). In very light solids you have to turn the potentiometer to the complete left position (0.02 … 0.1 g/cm³ or 0.0007 … 0.0036 lbs/in³). By doing this, VEGAVIB 61 will be more sensitive and light solids can be detected more reliably.
