  • Page 14: Mounting

    Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGAPULS 62 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down- ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.

    4.2 Mounting preparations - Horn antenna Information: This information applies only to special versions! 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 mounting.

When mounting VEGAPULS 62, keep a distance of at least Installation position 200 mm (7.9 in) to the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center of concave or arched vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise.
