Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGASWING 51 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.
VEGASWING 51 is in the same position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied flat seal from the thread of VEGASWING 51. This flat seal is not required when using a welded socket with front-flush seal. Before welding, unscrew VEGASWING 51 and remove the rubber ring from the welded socket.

4 Mounting marking on the hexagon of VEGASWING 51. With this, you can check the position of the tuning fork when screwing it in. When the hexagon touches the seal, the thread can still be turned by approx. half a turn.
Use cable with a round wire cross section and tighten the cable gland. When mounting outdoors, on cooled vessels or in humid areas, in which cleaning is carried out e.g. with steam or high pressure, it is particularly important to seal the cable gland.
