  • Page 5: For Your Safety

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

  • Page 6: Safety Label On The Instrument

    The corresponding conformity declarations can be found on our homepage. SIL conformity VEGAWAVE 61 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 61 is a point level sensor with tuning fork for point level detection. VEGAWAVE 61 • Two-wire 8/16 mA...

  • Page 8: Adjustment

    Solid detection in water If VEGAWAVE 61 was ordered for solids detection in water, the tuning fork is set to the density of water. In air or when immersed in water (density: 1 g/cm³/0.036 lbs/in), VEGAWAVE 61 signals "uncovered".

  • Page 10: Mounting

    Switching point In general, VEGAWAVE 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 VEGAWAVE 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 Horizontal mounting To achieve a very precise switching point, you can install VEGAWAVE 61 horizontally. However, if the switching point can have a tolerance of a few centimeters, we recommend mounting VEGAWAVE 61 approx. 20° inclined to the vessel bottom to avoid buildup. VEGAWAVE 61 • Two-wire 8/16 mA...
  • Page 13 Fig. 4: Horizontal mounting Inflowing medium If VEGAWAVE 61 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VEGAWAVE 61 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of VEGAWAVE 61 generates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement.
  • Page 14 Marking on top with screwed version 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. 7: Baffle for protection against mechanical damage VEGAWAVE 61 • Two-wire 8/16 mA...

    Voltage supply Connect the voltage supply according to the following diagrams. Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGA- WAVE 61 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the instrument housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries.
