    During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGAVIB 62 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.

    Principle of operation Application area VEGAVIB 62 is a point level sensor with vibrating rod for point level detection. It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and is preferably used for bulk solids.

    DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. It can be used indoors as well as outdoors. Switching point In general, VEGAVIB 62 must be mounted vertically. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the requested switching point.

  • Page 11: Mounting Instructions

    4 Mounting Fig. 2: Measures against moisture ingress Transport Do not hold VEGAVIB 62 on the vibrating element. Especially with flange and tube versions, the sensor can be damaged by the weight of the instrument. Remove the protective cover just before mounting. Pressure/Vacuum The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low pressure in the vessel. Before use, check if the sealing material is resistant against the measured product and the process temperature.
  • Page 12 The vibrating rod must be mounted in a way that takes the arrange- ment of the filling and emptying apertures into account. To compensate measurement errors caused by the material cone in cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at a distance of d/10 from the vessel wall. Fig. 3: Filling and emptying centred VEGAVIB 62 • Relay (DPDT)
  • Page 13 Discharge opening Filling opening Nozzle The vibrating element should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup. For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for flanges and screwed fittings. This applies particularly to use with adhesive products. Inflowing medium If VEGAVIB 62 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false meas- urement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VEGAVIB 62 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. VEGAVIB 62 • Relay (DPDT)
  • Page 14 4 Mounting Fig. 5: Inflowing medium Baffle protection against In applications such as grit chambers or settling basins for coarse falling rocks sediments, the vibrating element must be protected against damage with a suitable baffle. This baffle must be manufactured by you. > 125 mm (> 5") Fig. 6: Baffle for protection against mechanical damage VEGAVIB 62 • Relay (DPDT)

  • Page 18 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. VEGAVIB 62 • Relay (DPDT)

  • Page 19: Setup

    Note: As a rule, always set the mode with mode switch (2) before starting the setup of VEGAVIB 62. The switching output will change if you set the mode switch (2) afterwards. This could possibly trigger other con- nected instruments or devices.
