During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. 2.2 Appropriate use The VEGASWING 63 is a sensor for level detection. You can find detailed information on the application range in chapter "Product description".
2.6 CE conformity This device fulfills the legal requirements of the applicable EC guidelines. By attaching the CE mark, VEGA provides a confirmation of successful testing. You can find the CE conformity declaration in the download area of www.vega.com.
IEC 61511" (optional) Supplementary instructions manual "Plug connector for level sensors" (optional) Ex-specific "Safety instructions" (with Ex versions) if necessary, further certificates The VEGASWING 63 consists of the following components: Constituent parts Housing cover Housing with electronics Process fitting with tuning fork Fig.
In addition to the type label outside, you can also find the serial number on the inside of the instrument. 3.2 Principle of operation VEGASWING 63 is a point level sensor with tuning fork for level Application area detection.
3 Product description 3.3 Operation The switching condition of VEGASWING 63 with plastic housing can be checked when the housing is closed (signal lamp). With the basic setting, products with a density > 0.7 g/cm³ (0.025 lbs/in³) can be detected. The instrument can be adapted if products with lower density are to be measured.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" or on the type label. In general, VEGASWING 63 can be installed in any position. The Switching point instrument simply has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.

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. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels. VEGASWING 63 • - Relay (DPDT)
Fig. 6: Measures against moisture penetration Transport Caution: Do not hold VEGASWING 63 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.

Inflowing medium measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VEGASWING 63 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e. g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. This applies particularly to instrument types with long extension tube.
Page 15
Due to agitators, vibrations or similar, the level switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube for VEGASWING 63, but check if you can mount a VEGASWING 61 level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.

Fig. 9: Lateral straining of VEGASWING 63 Enamel coating Instruments with enamel coating should be treated very carefully and shocks should be avoided. Unpack VEGASWING 63 directly before installation. Insert VEGASWING 63 carefully into the vessel opening and avoid touching any sharp vessel parts.
Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGASWING 63 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries.
