VEGAPOINT 11 • Transistor (PNP)
56622-EN-221012
to its simple and robust measuring system, VEGAPOINT 11 is virtual-
ly unaffected by the chemical and physical properties of the medium.
It functions even under difficult conditions such as turbulence, air bub-
bles, buildup, strong external vibration or changing products.
If a malfunction is detected or in case of voltage supply, the electron-
ics takes on a defined switching status, i.e. the output is open (safe
state).
An alternating electric field is generated at the tip of the measur-
ing electrode. If the sensor is covered with medium, the resonance
frequency changes. This change is detected by the electronics and
converted into a switching command.
Buildup is ignored to a certain degree and therefore has no influence
on the measurement.
3.3 Adjustment
The switching status of VEGAPOINT 11 can be checked from outside
(360° status indication).
Note:
The LED illuminated ring is not available for device versions with full
metal housing.
3.4 Packaging, transport and storage
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 consists of environment-friendly, recyclable card-
board. For special versions, PE foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose
of the packaging material via 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
