    3 Product description Principle of operation Application area VEGASWING 66 is a point level sensor with tuning fork for level detection. It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used in liquids. Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. The small tuning fork allows use in pipelines.

  • Page 11: Mounting

    You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the nameplate. In general, VEGASWING 66 can be installed in any position. The Switching point instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.
  • Page 12 Fig. 7: Measures against moisture penetration Caution: Transport Do not hold VEGASWING 66 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.

    2. For mounting, 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 14 Temperature isolation - max. 50 mm (1.97 in) 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 VE- GASWING 66 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g.
  • Page 15 For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube (optional) for VEGASWING 66, but check if you can mount a short level switch VEGASWING 66 on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.
  • Page 16 See "Technical data". Caution: If it is determined (e.g. via an error message from VEGASWING 66) that medium has already penetrated into the vibrating element, the instrument must be exchanged immediately.

  • Page 17: Connecting To Power Supply

    Connect the operating voltage 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.
