It functions even when exposed to strong external vibration or changing products. Solid detection in water If VEGAWAVE 62 was ordered for detection of solids in water, the tuning fork is adjusted to the density of water. In the air or when covered by water (density: 1 g/cm³/0.036 lbs/in) VEGAWAVE 62 signals "uncovered".
PE foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised recycling companies.

Mounting 4 Mounting 4.1 General instructions In general, VEGAWAVE 62 must be mounted vertically. The Switching point instrument must be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the requested switching point. Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and tighten the cable gland.
filling and emptying apertures into account. To compensate measurement errors in cylindrical vessels caused by the material cone, the sensor must be mounted at a distance of d/6 from the vessel wall. Fig. 3: Filling and emptying centered VEGAWAVE 62 - - contactless electronic switch...

For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for flanges and screwed fittings. This applies particularly to use with adhesive products. If VEGAWAVE 62 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted Inflowing medium false measurements may be generated. Mount VEGAWAVE 62 at a location in the vessel where no disturbing influence...

Domestic current is temporarily lowered below 1 mA after switching off the load so that contactors, whose holding current is lower than the constant domestic current of the electronics, are reliably switched off. Fig. 11: Wiring plan Screening VEGAWAVE 62 - - contactless electronic switch...
Note: As a rule, always set the mode with mode switch (2) before starting the setup of VEGAWAVE 62. The switching output will change if you set the mode switch (2) afterwards. This could possibly trigger other connected instruments or devices.
It is already preset and must only be modified in special cases. By default, the potentiometer of VEGAWAVE 62 is set to the right stop (>0.02 g/cm³ or 0.0008 lbs/in³). In case of very light- weight solids, turn the potentiometer to the left stop (>0.008 g/ cm³...
