    Principle of operation Application area VEGAWAVE 61 is a point level sensor with tuning fork for point level detection. VEGAWAVE 61 • Contactless electronic switch...

  • Page 8: Adjustment

    Solid detection in water If VEGAWAVE 61 was ordered for solids detection in water, the tuning fork is set to the density of water. In air or when immersed in water (density: 1 g/cm³/0.036 lbs/in), VEGAWAVE 61 signals "uncovered".

    DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. Switching point In general, VEGAWAVE 61 can be installed in any position. The instru- ment only has to be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the desired switching point.

  • Page 11: Mounting Instructions

    Mounting instructions Mounting socket The vibrating element should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup. For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for flanges and screwed fittings. This applies particularly to use with adhesive products. Filling opening Mount the instrument in such a way that the tuning fork does not protrude directly into the filling stream. VEGAWAVE 61 • Contactless electronic switch...
  • Page 12 Horizontal mounting To achieve a very precise switching point, you can install VEGAWAVE 61 horizontally. However, if the switching point can have a tolerance of a few centimeters, we recommend mounting VEGAWAVE 61 approx. 20° inclined to the vessel bottom to avoid buildup. 20° Fig. 4: Horizontal mounting Inflowing medium If VEGAWAVE 61 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated.
  • Page 13 4 Mounting VEGAWAVE 61 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of VEGAWAVE 61 generates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement.
