    VEGACONNECT The interface adapter VEGACONNECT enables the connection of communication-capable instruments to the USB interface of a PC. VEGADIS 81 The VEGADIS 81 is an external display and adjustment unit for VEGA plics sensors. ® Protective cover The protective cover protects the sensor housing against soiling and intense heat from solar radiation.

  • Page 12: Housing Features

    Pressure/Vacuum Gauge pressure in the vessel does not influence VEGASON 62. Low pressure or vacuum does, however, damp the ultrasonic pulses. This influences the measuring result, particularly if the level is very low.
  • Page 13 Housing orientation The housing of VEGASON 62 can be rotated completely by 360°. This enables optimal reading of the display and easy cable entry. For housings made of plastic or electropolished stainless steel, this is done without tools.
  • Page 14 1. Screw the housing cover on tightly by hand 2. Unscrew the locking screw from the cover up to the stop using a size 4 hexagonal spanner 3. Check if the cover can no longer be turned VEGASON 62 • Profibus PA...

  • Page 15: Mounting Instructions

    The locking screw has two holes drilled through the head. Thus it can also be sealed. Mounting instructions Screwing in Screw VEGASON 62 into the mounting socket with an appropriate spanner applied to the hexagon of the process fitting. Max. torque see chapter " Technical data". Warning: The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
  • Page 16 Fig. 8: Recommended socket mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGASON 62 on sockets which are higher than the length of the transducer. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration.
  • Page 17 Fig. 10: Alignment in liquids To reduce the blocking distance to the medium, you can also mount VEGASON 62 with a beam deflector. By doing this, it is possible to fill the vessel nearly to maximum. Such an arrangement is suitable primarily for open vessels such as e.g.
  • Page 18 Fig. 13: Agitators Do not mount the instruments in or above the filling stream. Make sure Inflowing medium that you detect the medium surface, not the inflowing product. VEGASON 62 • Profibus PA...
  • Page 19 If there are strong air currents in the vessel, e.g. due to strong winds in outdoor installations or air turbulence, e.g. by cyclone extraction you should mount VEGASON 62 in a standpipe or use a different measuring principle, e.g. radar or guided radar (TDR).
  • Page 20 Fig. 15: Standpipe in the tank Vent hole: ø 5 … 10 mm (0.197 … 0.394 in) VEGASON 62 can be used from tube diameters of 50 mm (1.969 in). Avoid large gaps and thick welding joints when connecting the tubes.
