  • Page 17 In the case of VEGAMIP 61 with NPT thread, the instrument seals in the thread itself. Hence, no counter nut is necessary for these ver- sions. Buildup Avoid long sockets in which the medium can remain and if possible, mount VEGAMIP 61 front-flush. This applies mainly if buildup and dust are expected. VEGAMIP R61 • Receiving unit...

  • Page 21 To get an optimal switching signal, the two sensors must be aligned to each other. The accuracy must be in a range of ±5°. Axis offset The axes of the two sensors can be offset up to < 5% of the sensor distance (d) from each other. Example: with a distance of 1000 mm VEGAMIP R61 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 22 For a reliable function, the emitting and receiving units must be installed in the same polarisation direction. If multiple instrument pairs are installed in one vessel, the instrument pairs can be coded, so to speak, by mounting them in different polari- sation positions so that they do not influence one another. VEGAMIP R61 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 23 On instrument versions with detach- able horn antenna, the antenna extension can be retrofitted. To minimize false echoes, take note of the polarisation plane. Keep the position of the polarisation marking with respect to the antenna extension in mind. Mount the antenna extension according to the fol- lowing illustration. VEGAMIP R61 • Receiving unit...
