    Installations in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) • Installations on cooled or heated vessels Mounting instructions Switching point 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. Reflec- tions from the vessel wall or from vessel installation can influence the switching accuracy. VEGAMIP R61 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 12 For this reason, mount VEGAMIP 61 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. Non-metallic vessels Microwaves can penetrate non-conductive materials. Hence, it is pos- sible to measure through the wall of non-conductive vessels. VEGAMIP R61 • Receiving unit...

  • Page 15 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 16 Select the material according to the diameter of the socket and adapt the length as far as possible to the shape of the vessel wall. Secure the filling material against falling out or turning. If using a fixing screw is technically not possible, you can secure the material in the socket with an adhesive. VEGAMIP R61 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 17 In this case, you have to use a window material which is appropriately resistant. Vibrations In case of strong vessel vibrations, the VEGAMIP 61 should be mounted with anti vibration blocks or rubber buffers. VEGAMIP R61 • Receiving unit...
