During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGASWING 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.
That is why we have introduced an environment management system with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro- tection. The environment management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001. Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter " Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter " Disposal" VEGASWING 61 • Transistor (NPN/PNP)
– If necessary, further certificates Information: Optional instrument features are also described in this operating instructions manual. The respective scope of delivery results from the order specification. Constituent parts The VEGASWING 61 consists of the components: • Housing lid • Housing with electronics •...
Principle of operation Application area VEGASWING 61 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 can be used in liquids.
The instructions for the listed accessories can be found in the down- load area on our homepage. Flanges Screwed flanges are available in different versions according to the following standards: DIN 2501, EN 1092-1, BS 10, ASME B 16.5, JIS B 2210-1984, GOST 12821-80.

For connecting the sensors with a separator to voltage supply or sig- nal processing, the sensors are also available with plug connectors. The following plug connectors are available: • M12 x 1 • ISO 4400 • Harting HAN 7D • Harting HAN 8D • Amphenol-Tuchel VEGASWING 61 • Transistor (NPN/PNP)
Switching point In general, VEGASWING 61 can be installed in any position. The instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.

To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is closed during operation and locked, if necessary. Caution: Transport Do not hold VEGASWING 61 on the tuning fork. Particularly with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be damaged just by the weight of the instrument. Transport coated instruments very carefully and avoid touching the tuning fork.
Mounting instructions Welded socket VEGASWING 61 has a defined thread starting point. This means that every VEGASWING 61 is in the same fork position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied seal from the thread of VEGASWING 61. This seal is not required when using a welded socket with O-ring in front.

See " Technical data". Caution: If it is determined (e.g. via a fault signal from VEGASWING 61) that medium has already penetrated into the vibrating element, the instru- ment must be exchanged immediately.
Connect the voltage supply according to the following diagrams. Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGASWING 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.

Ground terminal Connection terminals Wiring plan We recommend connecting VEGASWING 61 in such a way that the switching circuit is open when there is a level signal, line break or failure (safe state). The instrument is used to control relays, contactors, magnet valves, warning lights, horns as well as PLC inputs.

In Ex applications only an electronics module with respective Ex ap- proval may be used. You can find all the information you need to carry out an electronics exchange in the handbook of the new electronics module. In general, all electronics modules of series SW60 can be inter- changed. If you want to use an electronics module with a different signal output, you carry out the complete setup. You find the neces- sary, suitable operating instruction on our homepage.
