  • Page 4: For Your Safety

    During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGAKON 66 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 fulfill this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter "Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter "Disposal" VEGAKON 66 • - Relay (DPDT)

    The scope of delivery encompasses: • VEGAKON 66 compact level switch • Documentation – This operating instructions manual Constituent parts The VEGAKON 66 consists of the components: • Housing lid • Housing with electronics • Process fitting with electrodes Fig. 1: VEGAKON 66...

  • Page 7: Principle Of Operation

    These alternating currents are measured in respect to their amplitude and phase position and converted into a switching command. VEGAKON 66 can be used for reliable detection of products over a very wide conductivity and viscosity range. A level detection can be realised with two measuring electrodes, e.g.

  • Page 8: Operation

    3 Product description Voltage supply VEGAKON 66 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be operated without external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the level signal and outputs a switching signal. With this switching signal, a connected device can be operated directly (e.g. a warning system, a pump etc.).

  • Page 9: Mounting

    Moisture Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGAKON 66 additional protection against mois- ture penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g.

    13. Check cable gland on tightness. The seal ring must completely encircle the cable. 14. Screw the housing lid back on The electronics exchange is now finished. As soon as you insert the electronics module, VEGAKON 66 is ready for operation. Simulation of switching functions With the rotary switch for conductivity adjustment, full covering or empty signal can be simulated.
