Page 5: For Your Safety
During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VR-90 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
You can find the EU conformity declaration on our website under www.vega.com/downloads. SIL conformity VR-90 meets the requirements of functional safety according to IEC 61508. Further information is available in the Safety Manual "VEGAVIB series 60". Installation and operation in the USA and Canada This information is only valid for USA and Canada. Hence the follow- ing text is only available in the English language. -
Page 7: Product Description
Principle of operation Application area VR-90 is a point level sensor with vibrating rod for point level detection. It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and is preferably used for bulk solids. -
Page 8: Adjustment
Solid detection in water If VR-90 was ordered for solid detection in water, the vibrating rod is calibrated to the density of water. If covered by water (density: 1 g/ cm³/0.036 lbs/in) VR-90 signals "uncovered". Only if the vibrating element is also covered with solids (e.g. - Page 9 Technical data - Ambient conditions" • Relative humidity 20 … 85 % Lifting and carrying With instrument weights of more than 18 kg (39.68 lbs) suitable and approved equipment must be used for lifting and carrying. 925-0375 VR-90 • Vibrating Rod...

Page 10: Mounting
DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. Switching point In general, VR-90 can be installed in any position. The instrument 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
Mounting instructions Mounting socket The vibrating element 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. Filling opening Mount the instrument in such a way that the vibrating rod does not protrude directly into the filling stream. 925-0375 VR-90 • Vibrating Rod... - Page 12 The vibrating rod must be mounted in a way that takes the arrange- ment of the filling and emptying apertures into account. To compensate measurement errors caused by the material cone in cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at a distance of d/6 from the vessel wall. 925-0375 VR-90 • Vibrating Rod...

However, if the switching point can have a tolerance of a 925-0375 VR-90 • Vibrating Rod...
- Page 14 4 Mounting few centimeters, we recommend mounting VR-90 approx. 20° inclined to the vessel bottom to avoid buildup. 20° Fig. 6: Horizontal mounting Inflowing medium If VR-90 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VR-90 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur.

Page 19: Setup
Note: As a rule, always set the mode with mode switch (2) before starting the setup of VR-90. The switching output will change if you set the mode switch (2) afterwards. This could possibly trigger other connected instruments or devices. -
Page 20: Function Table
6 Setup VR-90 will be more sensitive and light solids can be detected more reliably. For instruments detecting solids in water, these settings are not applicable. The density range is preset and must not be changed. Mode adjustment (2) With the mode adjustment (min./max.) you can change the switching condition of the output. - Page 21 6 Setup Level Switching status Control lamp Fault Switch open flashes red 925-0375 VR-90 • Vibrating Rod...
