During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGAPULS 62 is a sensor for continuous level measurement. You can find detailed information about the area of application 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.
FCC/IC conformity (only for USA/Canada) The instrument with all antenna versions is FCC/IC approved. Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer will lead to expiry of the operating licence according to FCC/IC. VEGAPULS 62 is in conformity with part 15 of the FCC directives and fulfills the RSS-210 regulations. Note the corresponding regulations for operation: • This device may not cause interference, and •...
"VEGA Tools" and "Instrument search". You can find the serial number on the inside of the instrument as well as on the type label on the outside. Alternatively, you can access the data via your smartphone: • Download the smartphone app "VEGA Tools" from the "Apple App Store" or the "Google Play Store" • Scan the Data Matrix code on the type label of the instrument or •...
3 Mounting Mounting Mounting preparations - Horn antenna VEGAPULS 62 is also available in versions where the antenna has a bigger diameter than the process fitting (thread, flange). The antenna must therefore be disconnected from the process fitting before mount- ing. Proceed as follows: 1. Loosen the hexagon socket screws (3) on the antenna socket with an Allen wrench (size 3) 2. Remove the antenna (4) Note: The plastic cone may not be pulled out of the antenna socket.
8. Remount the parabolic antenna (4) 9. Tighten compression nut (1) with SW 41, torque max. 50 Nm 10. Tighten counter nut (2) with SW 36, torque max. 40 Nm. Note: Take note for VEGAPULS 62 with rinsing air connection that the holes in the antenna and in the process fitting correspond. This ensures a sufficient air flow (the air is led through the holes to the feed system. A rinsing of the parabolic antenna in total is not intended). Fig. 2: Dismounting, parabolic antenna...
