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.
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" VEGAKON 61 • Relay (DPDT)
Alternatively, you can access the data via your smartphone: • Download the VEGA Tools app from the " Apple App Store" or the " Google Play Store" • Scan the DataMatrix code on the type label of the instrument or •...
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.

(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. Fig. 3: Measures against moisture ingress VEGAKON 61 • Relay (DPDT)
Mounting instructions Welded socket Remove the supplied seal from the thread of VEGAKON 61. This seal is not required when using the welded socket with O-ring in front. Before welding, unscrew VEGAKON 61 and remove the rubber ring from the welded socket.
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)

Inductive loads also result from the connection to a PLC input or output and/or in combination with long cables. It is imperative that you take measures to extinguish sparks to protect the relay contact (e.g. Z diode) or use an electronic version with transistor output. VEGAKON 61 • Relay (DPDT)
Signal lamp (2) The switching condition of the signal lamp can be checked when the housing is closed. To adjust VEGAKON 61 loosen the four screws with a wrench on the upper side of the instrument and remove the housing cover.

12. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on them 13. Check cable gland on tightness. The seal ring must completely encircle the cable. 14. Screw the housing lid back on The electronics exchange is now finished. VEGAKON 61 • Relay (DPDT)
7 Maintenance and fault rectification As soon as you insert the electronics module, VEGAKON 61 is ready for operation. How to proceed if a repair is necessary You can find an instrument return form as well as detailed information about the procedure in the download area of our homepage. By doing this you help us carry out the repair quickly and without having to call back for needed information.
If personal data is stored on the old device to be disposed of, delete it before disposal. If you have no way to dispose of the old instrument properly, please contact us concerning return and disposal. VEGAKON 61 • Relay (DPDT)
