3 .2 principle of operation vegavib 61 is a point level sensor with vibrating rod for level detection. It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and is preferably used for bulk solids. Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. Thanks to its simple and robust...

These include above all the process pressure, process temperature as well as th...
Page 11
The max. Permissible pressure is specified in chapter "technical data" or on the type label of the sensor. The vibrating level switch is a measuring instrument and must be treated accordingly. Bending the vibrating element will destroy the instrument. Warning: the housing must not be used to screw th...

In silos for bulk solids, material cones can form and change the switching point. Please keep this in mind when installing the sensor in the vessel. We recommend selecting an installation location where the vibrating rod detects an average value of the material cone. The vibrating rod must be mounte...

As a default setting, the potentiometer of vegavib 61 is set to the complete right position (> 0.3 g/cm³/0.011 lbs/in³). In very light solids you have to turn the potentiometer to the complete left position (0.02 … 0.1 g/cm³ or 0.0007 … 0.0036 lbs/in³). By doing this, vegavib 61 will be more sensiti...
