4.1 General instructions

With instruments with threaded process fitting, suitable tools must be
applied for tightening the hexagon.
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in
particular the active measuring component, process seal and process
fitting, are suitable for the existing process conditions. These include
above all the process pressure, process temperature as well as the
chemical properties of the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the
type label.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or
on cooled or heated vessels.

4.2 Instructions for installation

If possible, install VEGAMIP 61 in a position where strong signal
damping by the medium is expected.
Avoid mounting the instrument too close to the vessel wall. Reflections
from the vessel wall or from vessel installation can influence the
switching accuracy.
