4 Mounting
4.1 General instructions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument coming in direct contact
with the process, especially the sensor element, process seal and
process fitting, are suitable for the existing process conditions, such
as process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical
properties of the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "
Technical data
" and on the
nameplate.
The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient condi-
tions acc. to DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1.
In general, VEGAWAVE 62 must be mounted vertically. The instru-
ment must be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at
the height of the requested switching point.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "
Connecting to power
supply
") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable gland. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or
on cooled or heated vessels.
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.
Make sure that the degree of contamination specified in chapter
"
Technical data
" meets the existing ambient conditions.

Do not hold VEGAWAVE 62 on the vibrating element. Especially with
flange and tube versions, the sensor can be damaged by the weight
of the instrument.
Remove the protective cover just before mounting.
