Max. torque see chapter "Technical data". Warning: The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
  • Page 14 Fig. 7: Recommended socket mounting If the reflective properties of the medium are good, you can mount VEGASON 61 on sockets higher than the transducer length. You will find recommended values for socket heights in the following illustration. The socket end should be smooth and burr-free, if possible also rounded.
  • Page 15 Fig. 9: Alignment in liquids To reduce the min. distance to the medium, you can also mount VEGASON 61 with a beam deflector. By doing this, it is possible to fill the vessel nearly to maximum. Such an arrangement is suitable primarily for open vessels such as e.g.
