3.2 Principle of operation
VEGAWAVE 63 is a point level sensor with tuning fork for point level
detection.
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and
is preferably used for bulk solids.
Typicalapplicationsareoverllanddryrunprotection.Thankstoits
simple and robust measuring system, VEGAWAVE 63 is virtually unaf-
fected by the chemical and physical properties of the bulk solid.
It also works when subjected to strong external vibrations or changing
products.
Solid detection in water
If VEGAWAVE 63 was ordered for solids detection in water, the tuning
fork is set to the density of water. In air or when immersed in water
(density:1g/cm³/0.036lbs/in),VEGAWAVE63signals"uncovered".
Only when the vibrating element is also covered with solids (e.g.
sand,sludge,graveletc.)willthesensorsignal"covered".
Function monitoring
The electronics module of VEGAWAVE 63 monitors continuously the
following criteria:
•Correct vibrating frequency
•Linebreaktothepiezodrive
If one of these faults is detected, the electronics signals this via a
denedcurrenttothesignalconditioninginstrument.Theconnection
cable to the vibrating element is also monitored.
Thetuningforkispiezoelectricallyenergisedandvibratesatits
mechanicalresonancefrequencyofapprox.150Hz.Whenthetuning
fork is submerged in the product, the vibration amplitude changes.
This change is detected by the integrated electronics module and
converted into a switching command.

tronicscanbeconnectedtodierentsignalconditioninginstruments.
Compatible signal conditioning instruments are listed in chapter
"Technical data".

3.3 Operation
With the factory setting, products with a density of > 0.02 g/cm³
(0.0008 lbs/in³) can be measured. The instrument can also be
adapted to products with lower density > 0.008 g/cm³ (0.0003 lbs/in³).

3.4 Storage and transport
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
based on ISO 4180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly, recyclable carton material. The sensing element is additional-
ly protected with a cardboard cover. For special versions, PE foam or
PE foil is also used. Please dispose of the packaging material through
specialised recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-
cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
•Not in the open
•Dry and dust free
•Not exposed to corrosive media
•Protected against solar radiation
•Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration
•Storageandtransporttemperatureseechapter"Supplement -
Technical data - Ambient conditions"
•Relative humidity 20 … 85 %

4.1 General instructions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument coming in direct contact
with the process, especially the sensor element, process seal and
processtting,aresuitablefortheexistingprocessconditions,such
as process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical
properties of the medium.
Youcanndthespecicationsinchapter"Technical data"andonthe
nameplate.
In general, VEGAWAVE 63 can be installed in any position. The instru-
ment only has to be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element
is at the height of the desired switching point.
Usetherecommendedcables(seechapter"Connecting to power
supply")andtightenthecablegland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cableentry.Rainandcondensationwatercanthusdraino.Thisap-
plies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where
high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on
cooled or heated vessels.

The vibrating level switch is a measuring instrument and must be
treated accordingly. Bending the vibrating element will destroy the
