Scope of this operating This operating instructions manual applies to the following instrument instructions versions: • Hardware version from 1.0.0 • Software version from 1.2.0 The VEGAPOINT 11 consists of the components: Constituent parts • Housing with integrated electronics • Process fitting • Plug Fig.
Principle of operation Application area The VEGAPOINT 11 is a capacitive point level sensor for point level detection It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used in water-based liquids.
This change is detected by the electronics and converted into a switching command. Buildup is ignored to a certain degree and therefore has no influence on the measurement. Adjustment The switching status of VEGAPOINT 11 can be checked from outside (signal lamp). Packaging, transport and storage Packaging Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test based on ISO 4180.
The instructions for the listed accessories can be found in the down- load area on our homepage. Threaded and hygienic Various threaded and hygienic sockets are available for devices with socket threaded version.

Chemical properties of the medium • Abrasion and mechanical influences Switching point In general, VEGAPOINT 11 can be mounted in any position. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the sensor is at the height of the requested switching point. Fig. 3: Installation examples 1 Upper level detection (max.) as overflow protection...
Fig. 4: Adhesive products In horizontal pipelines, avoid mounting in the upper or lower area of the pipe. In the upper part of the pipe cavities can form due to air inclusions. Solids can settle in the lower pipe area. Both can lead to measure- ment errors. In horizontal pipelines, lateral installation is therefore recommended. VEGAPOINT 11 • Transistor with IO-Link...

A Not recommended - danger of air inclusions B Not recommended - Danger of buildup Inflowing medium If VEGAPOINT 11 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VE- GAPOINT 11 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. VEGAPOINT 11 • Transistor with IO-Link...
When mounting outdoors, on cooled vessels or in moist areas in which cleaning is made with steam or high pressure, it is very impor- tant that the plug is screwed on correctly. VEGAPOINT 11 • Transistor with IO-Link...
