    Make sure that a min. distance - the so called dead zone - below the reference plane is maintained in which a measurement is not possible. The exact value of the dead zone is stated in chapter "Technical data". VEGASON 61 • Foundation Fieldbus...
  • Page 12 (max. measuring distance) Measuring range Gauge pressure in the vessel does not influence VEGASON 61. Low Pressure/Vacuum pressure or vacuum does, however, damp the ultrasonic pulses. This influences the measuring result, particularly if the level is very low.

  • Page 13: Mounting Instructions

    4 Mounting 4.2 Mounting instructions Screw VEGASON 61 into the mounting socket with an appropriate Screwing in spanner applied to the hexagon of the process fitting. Max. torque see chapter "Technical data". Warning: The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
  • Page 14 Fig. 7: Recommended socket mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGASON 61 on sockets higher than the transducer length. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.
  • Page 15 Fig. 9: Alignment in liquids To reduce the min. distance to the medium, you can also mount VEGASON 61 with a beam deflector. By doing this, it is possible to fill the vessel nearly to maximum. Such an arrangement is suitable primarily for open vessels such as e.g.
  • Page 16 If there are agitators in the vessel, a false echo storage should be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the interfering reflections from the agitators are saved with the blades in different positions. Fig. 12: Agitators VEGASON 61 • Foundation Fieldbus...
  • Page 17 If there are strong air currents in the vessel, e.g. due to strong winds in outdoor installations or air turbulence, e.g. by cyclone extraction you should mount VEGASON 61 in a standpipe or use a different measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided radar (TDR).
  • Page 18 Fig. 14: Standpipe in tank Vent hole: ø 5 … 10 mm (0.197 … 0.394 in) VEGASON 61 can be used from tube diameters of 40 mm (1.575 in). Avoid large gaps and thick welding joints when connecting the tubes.
