Page 12: Mounting Instructions
Mounting instructions Inflowing medium If VEGAPOINT 31 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount VEGAPOINT 31 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur. Vessel installations Metal vessel installation or struts can affect the switching sensitivity of the device. - Page 13 4 Mounting Fig. 4: Mounting of the protective cover Protective cover - 1. half Protective cover - 2. half Fixing screws (2 pieces) VEGAPOINT 31 VEGAPOINT 31 • Three-wire: IO-Link, transistor...
