During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGAWAVE 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.
The corresponding conformity declarations can be found on our homepage. SIL conformity VEGAWAVE 62 meets the requirements to the functional safety ac- cording to IEC 61508. Further information is available in the Safety Manual " VEGAWAVE series 60". Installation and operation in the USA and Canada This information is only valid for USA and Canada.

Principle of operation Application area VEGAWAVE 62 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 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, VEGAWAVE 62 must be mounted vertically. The instru- ment must be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the requested switching point.
4 Mounting Fig. 2: Measures against moisture ingress Transport Do not hold VEGAWAVE 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.

The tuning fork must be mounted in a way that takes the arrangement 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.

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 VEGAWAVE 62 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VEGAWAVE 62 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. VEGAWAVE 62 • 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. VEGAWAVE 62 • Relay (DPDT)
(1) It is already preset and must only be modified in special cases. By default, the potentiometer of VEGAWAVE 62 is set to the right stop (> 0.02 g/cm³ or 0.0008 lbs/in³). In case of very light-weight solids, turn the potentiometer to the left stop (> 0.008 g/cm³ or 0.0003 lbs/ in³).
24 hour service hotline Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases the VEGA service hotline under the phone no. +49 1805 858550. The hotline is manned 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since we offer this service worldwide, the support is only available in the English language. The service is free, only standard call charges are incurred.
Proceed as follows: 1. Switch off voltage supply 2. Unscrew the housing lid 3. Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver 4. Pull the connection cables out of the terminals 5. Loosen the two screws with a screw driver (Torx size T10 or slot VEGAWAVE 62 • Relay (DPDT)
