Page 5: For Your Safety
During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGAPOINT 11 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 6 National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70). Installations in Canada shall comply with the relevant requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code A Class 2 power supply unit has to be used for the installation in the USA and Canada.

Page 8: Principle Of Operation
Principle of operation Application area The VEGAPOINT 11 is a capacitive point level sensor for point level detection It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used in water-based liquids. -
Page 9: Adjustment
3 Product description to its simple and robust measuring system, VEGAPOINT 11 is virtual- ly unaffected by the chemical and physical properties of the medium. It functions even under difficult conditions such as turbulence, air bub- bles, buildup, strong external vibration or changing products. If a malfunction is detected or in case of voltage supply, the electron- ics takes on a defined switching status, i.e. the output is open (safe state). Functional principle An alternating electric field is generated at the tip of the measur- ing electrode. If the sensor is covered with medium, the resonance frequency changes. -

Page 11: Mounting
Chemical properties of the medium • Abrasion and mechanical influences Switching point The VEGAPOINT 11 can be mounted in any position. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the sensor is at the height of the requested switching point.

Page 12: Mounting Instructions
Fig. 4: Adhesive products In horizontal pipelines, avoid mounting in the upper or lower area of the pipe. In the upper part of the pipe cavities can form due to air inclusions. Solids can settle in the lower pipe area. Both can lead to measure- ment errors. In horizontal pipelines, lateral installation is therefore recommended. VEGAPOINT 11 • Transistor (PNP) - Page 13 A Not recommended - danger of air inclusions B Not recommended - Danger of buildup If VEGAPOINT 11 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false Inflowing medium measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VE- GAPOINT 11 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. VEGAPOINT 11 • Transistor (PNP)

Page 14: Connecting To Power Supply
Make sure that the cable and the plug used have the required temperature resistance and fire safety for max. occurring ambient temperature. When mounting outdoors, on cooled vessels or in moist areas in which cleaning is made with steam or high pressure, it is very impor- tant that the plug is screwed on correctly.
