Vegacap 63 is a compact instrument, i.E. It can be operated without external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the level signal and outputs a switching signal. With this switching signal, a connected device can be operated directly (e.G. A warning system, a plc, a pump etc.). T...

These include above all the process pressure, process temperature as well as th...
Page 12
Do not hold vegacap 63 on the probe. Especially with heavy flange versions or long rod versions, the sensor can be damaged simply by the weight of the instrument. The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low pressure in the vessel. Before use, check if the seal material is resistant aga...

Fig. 4: inflowing medium the probe should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup. For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for flanges and screwed fittings. This applies particularly to use with adhesive products. To compensate the normal voltage loss due to sealing materials, you have to additi...

Note: screw the housing cover tightly up to the thread stop so that the inspection glass is above the control lamp (led). To adjust vegacap 63, first of all remove the housing cover. You can adapt the switching point to the solid with the potentiometer. With the potentiometer (1) and the measuring ra...

In some cases the lowest range (range 1 = highest sensitivity) is not sufficient to adjust the full switch point. This would make another filling procedure necessary. For this reason we recommend setting and noting the empty switching point in all three meas. Ranges. Set the meas. Range selection switc...
