  • Page 13 (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels. To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is closed during operation and locked, if necessary. Make sure that the degree of contamination specified in chapter "Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions. VEGASWING 66 • Two-wire 8/16 mA...

  • Page 14: Mounting Instructions

    Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap- proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs. Mounting instructions The thread and the seal on the threaded version of VEGASWING 66 Welded socket correspond to DIN 3852 part 2, screwed plug Form A.
  • Page 15 (1.16 in). To mount the sensor, proceed as follows: 1. Screw the VEGASWING 66 into the mounting boss up to the stop. You can determine the later position already before welding. 2. Mark the position of the VEGASWING 66 on the mounting boss.
  • Page 16 Ambient temperature on the housing Inflowing medium If VEGASWING 66 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VEGASWING 66 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. This applies particularly to instrument types with long extension tube. Fig. 9: Inflowing medium VEGASWING 66 • Two-wire 8/16 mA...
  • Page 17 4 Mounting To make sure the tuning fork of VEGASWING 66 generates as little Product flow resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement. Agitators 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 (optional) for VEGASWING 66, instead check if it is possible to mount a short level switch VEGASWING 66 on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.

  • Page 18: Connecting To Power Supply

    Connect the voltage supply according to the following diagrams. Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGASWING 66 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.
