  • Page 9: Principle Of Operation

    Product description 3.2 Principle of operation VEGACAL 66 is a level sensor with fully insulated probe for Area of application continuous level measurement. The electronics functions acc. to the admittance principle (phase-selective admittance processing). It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be applied in all areas of industrial process measurement.

    The exact range is stated in the "Technical data" in the "Supplement". 3.3 Adjustment VEGACAL 66 can be adjusted with four different adjustment media: the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM the suitable VEGA DTM in conjunection with an adjustment software acc.

  • Page 11: Mounting

    Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGACAL 66 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.

  • Page 12: Mounting Information

    In the gravity weight there is a thread (M12), e.g. for a ring bolt (article no. 2.27424). The thread is already insulated in the gravity weight. Make sure that the probe cable is not completely taut. Avoid tensile loads on the rope. VEGACAL 66 - 4 … 20 mA/HART...
  • Page 13 It is not possible to measure on the gravity weight. The measuring range of the probe ends at the upper edge of the gravity weight. If VEGACAL 66 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted Inflowing material switching signals may be generated. Mount VEGACAL 66 at a location in the vessel where no disturbing influence from e.g.
