VEGAVIB 63 can be mounted with a lock fitting for height adjustment.
Take note of the pressure information of the lock fitting.
The vibrating element should protrude into the vessel to avoid
buildup. For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for flanges
and screwed fittings. This applies particularly to use with adhesive
products.
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 mounted in a way that takes the arrange-
ment of the filling and emptying apertures into account.
To compensate measurement errors caused by the material cone in
cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at a distance of d/6
from the vessel wall.
