    Make sure that the degree of contamination specified in chapter "Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions. Fig. 2: Measures against moisture ingress Transport Do not hold VEGAWAVE 62 on the vibrating element. Especially with flange and tube versions, the sensor can be damaged by the weight of the instrument. Remove the protective cover just before mounting. VEGAWAVE 62 • Two-wire 8/16 mA...

  • Page 11: Mounting Instructions

    The tuning fork must be mounted in a way that takes the arrangement of the filling and emptying apertures into account. To compensate measurement errors caused by the material cone in cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at a distance of d/10 from the vessel wall. VEGAWAVE 62 • Two-wire 8/16 mA...

  • Page 13 Inflowing medium If VEGAWAVE 62 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VEGAWAVE 62 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. Fig. 5: Inflowing medium To make sure the tuning fork of VEGAWAVE 62 generates as little Product flow resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement.
