During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGASWING 61 is a sensor for level detection. You can find detailed information on the application range in chapter "Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
That is why we have introduced an environment management system with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro- tection. The environment management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001. Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter "Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter "Disposal" VEGASWING 61 • - contactless electronic switch...
– this operating instructions manual – Safety Manual "Functional safety (SIL)" (optional) – Supplementary instructions manual "Plug connector for level sensors" (optional) – Ex-specific "Safety instructions" (with Ex versions) – if necessary, further certificates Constituent parts The VEGASWING 61 consists of the components: • Housing cover • Housing with electronics • Process fitting with tuning fork Fig. 1: VEGASWING 61 with plastic housing...
Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. With its tuning fork of only 40 mm length, VEGASWING 61 can also be mounted e.g. in pipelines from DN 32. The small tuning fork allows use in vessels, tanks and pipes. Thanks to its simple and robust measuring system, VEGASWING 61 is virtually unaffected by the chemical and physical properties of the liquid.
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 61 • - contactless electronic switch...
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the type plate. Switching point In general, VEGASWING 61 can be installed in any position. The instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.

You can give your instrument 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. This ap- plies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels.

Instructions for installation VEGASWING 61 has a defined thread starting point. This means Welded socket that every VEGASWING 61 is in the same fork position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied seal from the thread of VEGASWING 61. This seal is not required when using a welded socket with O-ring in front.

The lifetime of the gastight leadthrough depends ont he chemical resistance of the materials. See "Technical data". Caution: If it is determined (e.g. by an error message of VEGASWING 61) that medium has already penetrated into the vibrating element, the instru- ment must be exchanged immediately.
