During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGASWING 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.
That is why we have introduced an environment management system with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro- tection. The environment management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001. Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter "Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter "Disposal" VEGASWING 63 • Contactless electronic switch...

Principle of operation Application area VEGASWING 63 is a point level sensor with tuning fork for point level detection. It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used in liquids.
Screwed flanges are available in different versions according to the following standards: DIN 2501, EN 1092-1, BS 10, ASME B 16.5, JIS B 2210-1984, GOST 12821-80. Electronics module The electronics module SW E60 is a replacement part for level switch- es VEGASWING 63. VEGASWING 63 • Contactless electronic switch...

For connecting the sensors with a separator to voltage supply or sig- nal processing, the sensors are also available with plug connectors. The following plug connectors are available: • M12 x 1 • ISO 4400 • Harting HAN 7D • Harting HAN 8D • Amphenol-Tuchel VEGASWING 63 • Contactless electronic switch...
DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. Switching point In general, VEGASWING 63 can be installed in any position. The instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.

"Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions. Fig. 6: Measures against moisture ingress Caution: Transport Do not hold VEGASWING 63 on the tuning fork. Particularly with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be damaged just by the weight of the instrument. Transport coated instruments very carefully and avoid touching the tuning fork.
Mounting instructions Welded socket VEGASWING 63 has a defined thread starting point. This means that every VEGASWING 63 is in the same fork position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied seal from the thread of VEGASWING 63. This seal is not required when using a welded socket with O-ring in front.

VEGASWING 63 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. 8: Inflowing medium Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of VEGASWING 63 generates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement.

4 Mounting Due to the effects of agitators, equipment vibration or similar, the level Agitators switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube for VEGASWING 63, but check if you can mount a level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position. Extreme vibration caused by the process or the equipment, e.g.

DIL switch for switching point adaptation Ground terminal Connection terminals Wiring plan We recommend connecting VEGASWING 63 in such a way that the switching circuit is open when there is a level signal, line break or failure (safe state). Information: The contactless electronic switch is always shown in non-operative condition.
