  • Page 5: For Your Safety

    During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGAVIB 63 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.

  • Page 6: Safety Label On The Instrument

    You can find the EU conformity declaration on our website under www.vega.com/downloads. SIL conformity VEGAVIB 63 meets the requirements of functional safety according to IEC 61508. Further information is available in the Safety Manual "VEGAVIB series 60". Installation and operation in the USA and Canada This information is only valid for USA and Canada.

    DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. Switching point In general, VEGAVIB 63 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

    For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube for VEGAVIB 63, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in hori- zontal position.
  • Page 12 The vibrating rod must be mounted in a way that takes the arrange- ment 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/6 from the vessel wall. VEGAVIB 63 • Transistor (NPN/PNP)
