  • Page 14 Stainless steel housing (electropolished) Aluminium die-cast housing Caution: Transport 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. Remove the packaging or the protective cover just before mounting.

  • Page 15: Mounting Instructions

    Mounting instructions Welded socket VEGASWING 63 has a defined thread starting point. This means that every VEGASWING 63 is in the same fork position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied seal from the thread of VEGASWING 63. This seal is not required when using a welded socket with O-ring in front.
  • Page 16 4 Mounting Fig. 9: Inflowing medium Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of VEGASWING 63 generates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement. Agitators Due to the effects of agitators, equipment vibration 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 level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.
  • Page 17 See "Technical data". Caution: If it is determined (e.g. via an error message from VEGASWING 63) that medium has already penetrated into the vibrating element, the instrument must be exchanged immediately.

  • Page 18: Connecting To Power Supply

    Connect the voltage supply according to the following diagrams. 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 instrument housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries.
