  • Page 13: Mounting Instructions

    Mounting instructions Installation position Mount VEGAFLEX 82 in such a way that the distance to vessel instal- lations or to the vessel wall is at least 300 mm (12 in). In non-metallic vessels, the distance to the vessel wall should be at least 500 mm (19.7 in).
  • Page 14 Use a probe in coax version for applications in liquids. Fig. 3: Mounting in non-metallic vessel Flange Metal sheet Concrete vessel When mounting in thick concrete ceilings, VEGAFLEX 82 should be mounted front flush to the lower edge. In concrete silos, the distance to the wall should be at least 500 mm (20 in). ø >160 mm (ø >6.3") Fig.
  • Page 15 Fig. 6: Socket must be installed flush Unfavourable mounting 2 Socket flush - optimum mounting Welding work Before beginning the welding work, remove the electronics module from the sensor. By doing this, you avoid damage to the electronics through inductive coupling. Inflowing medium Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure that you detect the product surface, not the inflowing product. VEGAFLEX 82 • Foundation Fieldbus...
  • Page 16 If there is a danger of the rod probe touching the vessel wall, fasten the probe at the bottom end. Keep in mind that measurement is not possible below the fastening point. VEGAFLEX 82 • Foundation Fieldbus...
  • Page 17 Rod extension In case of difficult installation conditions, for example in a socket, the probe can be suitably adapted with a rod extension. To compensate for the resulting changes in signal runtime, let the instrument determine the probe length automatically. You can find further information in the supplementary instructions of the rod and cable components. VEGAFLEX 82 • Foundation Fieldbus...
