Page 5: For Your Safety
During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGACAP 69 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 9: Principle Of Operation
3 Product description Principle of operation Application area VEGACAP 69 is a point level sensor for use in aggressive liquids in non-conductive vessels. The double rod probe is fully insulated and highly resistant. Functional principle Probe, measured product and vessel wall form an electrical capacitor. -

Protective cover The protective cover protects the sensor housing against soiling and intense heat from solar radiation. 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. VEGACAP 69 • Two-wire... -

(e.g. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels. To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is closed during operation and locked, if necessary. VEGACAP 69 • Two-wire... -
Page 12: Mounting Instructions
Agitators and fluidization Due to the effects of agitators, equipment vibration or similar, the level switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long electrode for VEGACAP 69, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position. Extreme vibration caused by the system, e.g. due to agitators or turbulence in the vessel from fluidisation, can cause the probe of VEGACAP 69 to vibrate in resonance. - Page 13 This applies particularly to instrument versions with a longer probe. Fig. 5: Inflowing medium Nozzle The probe should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup. For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for flanges and screwed fittings. This applies particularly to use with adhesive products. VEGACAP 69 • Two-wire...

Page 14: Connecting To Power Supply
Connect the operating voltage according to the following diagrams. Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGACAP 69 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. -

After connecting to voltage supply or after a voltage recurrence, the instrument passes a certain switch on routine. By lowering the current value when switching on, the instrument can output briefly a fault signal. I/mA 20,5 < 2,3 Fig. 11: Warm-up reaction Measured value VEGACAP 69 • Two-wire... -
Page 18: Setup
Note: As a rule, always set the mode with the mode switch of the signal conditioning instrument before starting setup VEGACAP 69. The switching output will change if you set the mode switch afterwards. This could possibly trigger other connected instruments or devices. - Page 19 Measuring range selec- tion switch (1) selection switch (1) on VEGACAP 69 you can change the sensitivity of the probe to the electrical properties of the product and the condi- tions in the vessel. This is necessary so that the level switch can also reliably detect products e.g. with very low or very high dielectric figure.
