  • Page 8: Principle Of Operation

    A level detection can be realised with two measuring electro- des, e.g. a pump or two-point control with three measuring electrodes. VEGAKON 66 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be operated Supply without external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the level signal and outputs a switching signal.

    Product description 3.3 Operation The VEGAKON 66 is a compact level switch with integrated oscillator. On the electronics module you will find the following indicating and adjustment elements: Control lamp for indication of the switching condition Mode changeover for selection of the output signal...

  • Page 10: Mounting

    Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGAKON 66 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down- ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.

    Maintenance and fault rectification 7 Maintenance and fault rectification 7.1 Maintenance When used as directed in normal operation, VEGAKON 66 is completely maintenance free. 7.2 Electronics exchange In general, all oscillators of series KONE66 can be inter- changed. If you want to use an oscillator with a different signal output, you can download the corresponding operating instructions manual from our homepage under Downloads.

  • Page 21: Simulation Of Switching Functions

    Maintenance and fault rectification As soon as you insert the electronics module, VEGAKON 66 is ready for operation. 7.3 Simulation of switching functions With the rotary switch for conductivity adjustment, full covering or empty signal can be simulated. The filling height must not be changed. You can hence easily check the response of connected signalling and switching facilities.
