To make sure the tuning fork of VEGASWING 63 generates as little
resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the
surfaces are parallel to the product movement.
Due to the effects of agitators, equipment vibration or similar, the level
switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do
not use an overly long extension tube for VEGASWING 63, but check
if you can mount a level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal
position.
Extreme vibration caused by the process or the equipment, e.g.
agitators or turbulence in the vessel, can cause the extension tube
of VEGASWING 63 to vibrate in resonance. This leads to increased
stress on the upper weld joint. Should a longer tube version be neces-
sary, you can provide a suitable support directly above the tuning fork
to secure the extension tube.
This measure applies mainly to applications in Ex areas category 1G
or WHG. Make sure that the tube is not subject to bending stress due
to this measure.

shocks should be avoided. Unpack VEGASWING 63 directly before
