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

    The corresponding conformity declarations can be found on our homepage. SIL conformity VEGAVIB 61 meets the requirements of functional safety according to IEC 61508. Further information is available in the Safety Manual " VEGAVIB series 60". Installation and operation in the USA and Canada This information is only valid for USA and Canada.

  • Page 7: Product Description

    Principle of operation Application area VEGAVIB 61 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.

  • Page 8: Adjustment

    Solid detection in water If VEGAVIB 61 was ordered for solid detection in water, the vibrating rod is calibrated to the density of water. If covered by water (density: 1 g/cm³/0.036 lbs/in) VEGAVIB 61 signals "uncovered". Only if the vibrating element is also covered with solids (e.g.

  • Page 10: Mounting

    Switching point In general, VEGAVIB 61 can be installed in any position. The instru- ment only has to be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the desired switching point.

  • Page 11: Mounting Instructions

    4 Mounting Fig. 2: Measures against moisture ingress Transport Do not hold VEGAVIB 61 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/6 from the vessel wall.

  • Page 14 4 Mounting few centimeters, we recommend mounting VEGAVIB 61 approx. 20° inclined to the vessel bottom to avoid buildup. 20° Fig. 6: Horizontal mounting Inflowing medium If VEGAVIB 61 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false meas- urement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VEGAVIB 61 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur.
