2.5 CE conformity VEGASWING 61 is in CE conformity with EMC (89/336/EWG), fulfils NAMUR recommendation NE 21 and is in CE conformity with LVD (73/23/EWG). Conformity has been judged according to the following...
2.8 Manufacturer declaration In conformity with DIN EN 60079-14/2004, para. 5.2.3, point c1, VEGASWING 61 is suitable for use in zone 2. The operator must use the instrument as it was intended to be used and follow the specifications of the following documents:...
The environment man- agement system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001. Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environ- mental instructions in this manual: Chapter "Packaging, transport and storage" Chapter "Disposal" VEGASWING 61 - - transistor (NPN/PNP)
Housing cover Housing with electronics Process fitting 3.2 Principle of operation VEGASWING 61 is a level sensor with tuning fork for level Area of application detection. It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used in liquids.
Product description Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. With a tuning fork of only 40 mm length, VEGASWING 61 can be also mounted, e.g. in pipelines from DN 25. 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...

Mounting 4 Mounting 4.1 General instructions In general, VEGASWING 61 can be mounted in any position. Switching point The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the requested switching point.

Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGASWING 61 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation...

(e.g. by cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels. Fig. 6: Measures against moisture penetration Do not hold VEGASWING 61 on the tuning fork. Particularly Transport with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be damaged just by the weight of the instrument.
VEGASWING 61 has a defined thread starting point. This Welded socket means 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.

filling openings, agitators, etc. can occur. To minimise flow resistance caused by the tuning fork, Flows VEGASWING 61 should be mounted in such a way that the surfaces of the blades are parallel to the product movement. VEGASWING 61 - - transistor (NPN/PNP)
Select power supply Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGASWING 61 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the instrument housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries.
