  • Page 13: Mounting

    Avoid mounting the instrument too close to the vessel wall. Reflections from the vessel wall or from vessel installation can influence the switching accuracy. Fig. 4: Installation position (top view) VEGAMIP R61 • - Transistor...
  • Page 14 VEGAMIP 61 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. Non-metallic vessels Microwaves can penetrate non-conductive materials. Hence, it is possible to measure through the wall of non-conductive vessels. VEGAMIP R61 • - Transistor...

  • Page 18 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. VEGAMIP R61 • - Transistor...
  • Page 19 In this case, you have to use a window material which is appropriately resistant. In case of strong vessel vibrations, the VEGAMIP 61 should be Vibrations mounted with anti vibration blocks or rubber buffers. VEGAMIP R61 • - Transistor...
  • Page 20 1000 mm, the two sensors must have an offset of max. 50 mm to each other. General rule: the bigger the antenna and the better it focusses, the more precise the orientation has to be. Fig. 12: Orientation of the sensors - Angle and offset VEGAMIP R61 • - Transistor...
  • Page 21 In products with low dielectric value, we recommend using an instrument version with antenna extension because it focusses the signal optimally and has no signal loss. With instrument versions with detachable horn antenna, the antenna extension can be retrofitted. VEGAMIP R61 • - Transistor...
