Fig. 4: Measures against moisture ingress
Do not hold VEGASWING 53 on the tuning fork.
The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low pressure
in the vessel. Before use, check if the sealing material is resistant
against the measured product and the process temperature.
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 the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
Use the hexagon above the thread for screwing in.
4.2 Mounting instructions
For threaded versions of VEGASWING 53 in combination with a
mounting boss with O-ring in front and welding marking.
VEGASWING 53 with thread sizes ½", ¾" and 1" have a defined
thread. This means that every VEGASWING 53 is in the same posi-
tion after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied flat seal
from the thread of VEGASWING 53. This flat seal is not required when
using a welded socket with front-flush seal.
Before welding, unscrew VEGASWING 53 and remove the rubber ring
from the welded socket.
