  • Page 10: Mounting

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

    Due to the effects of agitators, equipment vibration or similar, the level switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube for VEGAWAVE 63, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.
  • Page 12 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/6 from the vessel wall. VEGAWAVE 63 • NAMUR...

    Voltage supply Connect the voltage supply according to the following diagrams. Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGA- WAVE 63 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 between the cable entries.
