6 Setup
VEGAWAVE 62 • Two-wire 8/16 mA
32255-EN-181126
With the potentiometer you can adapt the switching point to the solid.
It is already preset and must only be modified in special cases.
By default, the potentiometer of VEGAWAVE 62 is set to the right stop
(> 0.02 g/cm³ or 0.0008 lbs/in³). In case of very light-weight solids,
turn the potentiometer to the left stop (> 0.008 g/cm³ or 0.0003 lbs/
in³). VEGAWAVE 62 will thus be more sensitive and can detect light-
weight solids more reliably.
For instruments detecting solids in water, these settings are not ap-
plicable. The density range is preset and must not be changed.
With the mode adjustment (min./max.) you can determine the output
current.
When using a signal conditioning instrument, always set the mode
switch to max. mode.
In this case, you select the requested mode according to the "
Func-
tion table
" (max. - max. detection or overfill protection, min. - min.
detection or dry run detection) on the signal conditioning instrument.
When used on a control system, the following values apply:
•
Mode min.
– Vibrating element uncovered - 16 mA ±1 mA
– Vibrating element covered - 8 mA ±1 mA
•
Mode max.
– Vibrating element uncovered - 8 mA ±1 mA
– Vibrating element covered - 16 mA ±1 mA
Control lamp for indication of the switching status
•
green = 8 mA
•
red = 16 mA
•
red (flashing) = Failure (< 2.3 mA)
