  • Page 10: Mounting

    You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the type label. In general, VEGAWAVE 63 can be installed in any position. The Switching point instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the desired switching point.

  • Page 11: Instructions For Installation

    For this reason, do not tion use an overly long extension tube for VEGAWAVE 63, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.
  • Page 12 4 Mounting Fig. 3: Inflowing medium VEGAWAVE 63 can be mounted with a lock fitting for height Lock fitting adjustment. Take note of the pressure information of the lock fitting. Socket The vibrating element should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup.
