  • Page 16 Note: In the case of VEGAMIP 62 with NPT thread, the instrument seals in the thread itself. Hence, no counter nut is necessary for these ver- sions. VEGAMIP R62 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 17 Select the material according to the diameter of the socket and adapt the length as far as possible to the shape of the vessel wall. Secure the filling material against falling out or turning. If using a fixing screw is technically not possible, you can secure the material in the socket with an adhesive.

  • Page 18 This mounting adapter "Abrasion protection" is screwed onto the thread of VEGAMIP 62 like an adapter. The mounting adapter "Abrasion protection" can only be used with the threaded version (internal horn antenna with PTFE cover) VEGAMIP R62 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 19 As an option, the "high temperature" mounting adapter can be also equipped with an extension for front-flush mounting. Thus the instru- ment can also be mounted into long sockets where there is danger of buildup in the socket. The extension is available in five lengths: 40, 60, 80, 100 and 150 mm (1.57, 2.36, 3.15, 3.94, 5.91 in). VEGAMIP R62 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 20 To get an optimal switching signal, the two sensors must be aligned to each other. The accuracy must be in a range of ±5°. Axis offset The axes of the two sensors can be offset up to < 5% of the sensor distance (d) from each other. Example: with a distance of 1000 mm VEGAMIP R62 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 21 For a reliable function, the emitting and receiving units must be installed in the same polarisation direction. If multiple instrument pairs are installed in one vessel, the instrument pairs can be coded, so to speak, by mounting them in different polari- sation positions so that they do not influence one another. VEGAMIP R62 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 22 On instrument versions with detach- able horn antenna, the antenna extension can be retrofitted. To minimize false echoes, take note of the polarisation plane. Keep the position of the polarisation marking with respect to the antenna extension in mind. Mount the antenna extension according to the fol- lowing illustration. VEGAMIP R62 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 23 The base of stainless steel can be displaced in 90° increments on the wall mounting plate, the base of plastic by 180°. Turn the cable gland of the electronics housing downward. The hous- ing can be turned by 330° without the use of any tools. VEGAMIP R62 • Receiving unit...
  • Page 24 4 Mounting Warning: With the plastic housing, the four screws of the base may only be screwed in hand tight. Exceeding the max. torque specified in chapter "Technical data" can damage the wall mounting plate. VEGAMIP R62 • Receiving unit...
