    Vegacap 66 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...

    4 mounting 4.1 general instructions in general,vegacap 66 can be mounted in any position. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the probe is at the height of the requested switching point. With screwed versions, the housing must not be used for screwing in! Tightening can cause damages o...

    4.2 mounting information due to agitators, vibrations or similar, the level switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long probe for vegacap 66, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position. If vegacap ...
