Page 4: For Your Safety
During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGAKON 61 is a sensor for point level detection. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter "Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions. -

Scan the Data Matrix code on the type label of the instrument or • Enter the serial number manually in the app Principle of operation The conductive VEGAKON 61 compact level switches detect levels of Application area conductive liquids. VEGAKON 61 • Transistor (NPN/PNP) -
Page 7: Adjustment
Interfering buildup is automatically eliminated via the neutralisation electrode, the conductivity detected and the switching point sensitivity derived thereof. An adjustment of the instrument is not necessary. VEGAKON 61 can be used for reliable detection of products over a very wide conductivity and viscosity range. Voltage supply VEGAKON 61 is a compact instrument, i.e. - Page 8 Technical data - Ambient conditions" • Relative humidity 20 … 85 % Lifting and carrying With an instrument weight of more than 18 kg (39.68 lbs) suitable and approved equipment must be used for lifting and carrying.

Fig. 3: Measures against moisture ingress Pressure/Vacuum The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low pressure in the vessel. Before use, check if the seal material is resistant against the measured product and the process temperature. The max. permissible pressure is specified in chapter "Technical data" or on the type label of the sensor. VEGAKON 61 • Transistor (NPN/PNP) -
Page 10: Mounting Instructions
Mounting instructions Welded socket Remove the supplied seal from the thread of VEGAKON 61. This seal is not required when using the welded socket with O-ring in front. Before welding, unscrew VEGAKON 61 and remove the rubber ring from the welded socket. -
Page 11: Connecting To Power Supply
Connect the voltage supply according to the following diagrams. Voltage supply Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGAKON 61 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the instrument housing there is a ground terminal. This connection serves to drain off electrostatic charges. -
Page 12: Wiring Plan
The transistor switches the operating voltage of the electronic module to the binary input of a PLC or an electrical load. Through different connections of the consumer (load), PNP or NPN action can be at- tained. Caution: There is no reverse polarity protection. Take note of the polarity of the output lines.
