  • Page 4: For Your Safety

    During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGAKON 61 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.

  • Page 7: Adjustment

    Interfering buildup is automatically eliminated via the neutralisation electrode, the conductivity detected and the switching point sensitivity derived thereof. An adjustment of the instrument is not necessary. VEGAKON 61 can be used for reliable detection of products over a very wide conductivity and viscosity range. Voltage supply VEGAKON 61 is a compact instrument, i.e.

    Make sure that the cable used has the required temperature resist- ance and fire safety for max. occurring ambient temperature Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm (0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. If you are using cable with a different diameter or cross-section, exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland. Connection instructions Danger: Switch off power supply before starting connection work. Connect mains voltage according to the connection diagrams. VEGAKON 61 • Relay (DPDT)
