VEGAWAVE 61 • Relay (DPDT)
32247-EN-221012
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and
is preferably used for bulk solids.
Typicalapplicationsareoverllanddryrunprotection.Thankstoits
simple and robust measuring system, VEGAWAVE 61 is virtually unaf-
fected by the chemical and physical properties of the bulk solid.
It also works when subjected to strong external vibrations or changing
products.
Solid detection in water
If VEGAWAVE 61 was ordered for solids detection in water, the tuning
fork is set to the density of water. In air or when immersed in water
(density: 1 g/cm³/0.036 lbs/in), VEGAWAVE 61 signals "uncovered".
Only when the vibrating element is also covered with solids (e.g.
sand, sludge, gravel etc.) will the sensor signal "covered".
Function monitoring
The electronics module of VEGAWAVE 61 continuously monitors the
following criteria:
• Correct vibrating frequency
• Linebreaktothepiezodrive
If one of the stated malfunctions is detected or in case of voltage sup-
ply,theelectronicstakesonadenedswitchingstatus,i.e.therelay
deenergises (safe state).
Thetuningforkispiezoelectricallyenergisedandvibratesatits
mechanicalresonancefrequencyofapprox.150Hz.Whenthetuning
fork is submerged in the product, the vibration amplitude changes.
This change is detected by the integrated electronics module and
converted into a switching command.
VEGAWAVE 61 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be operated with-
out external evaluation system.The integrated electronics evaluates
the level signal and outputs a switching signal. With this switching
signal, a connected device can be operated directly (e.g. a warning
system, a pump etc.).

The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly, recyclable carton material. The sensing element is additional-
ly protected with a cardboard cover. For special versions, PE foam or
PE foil is also used. Please dispose of the packaging material through
specialised recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or con-
cealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
• Not in the open
• Dry and dust free
• Not exposed to corrosive media
• Protected against solar radiation
• Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration
• Storage and transport temperature see chapter " Supplement -

4.1 General instructions
Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissibleprocessconditions.Yo u cannddetailedinformationon
the process conditions in chapter " Technical data" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Processtting
• Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasionandmechanicalinuences
The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient condi-
tions acc. to DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1. It can be used
indoors as well as outdoors.
In general, VEGAWAVE 61 can be installed in any position.The instru-
ment only has to be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element
is at the height of the desired 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
cablegland.Rainandcondensationwatercanthusdraino.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.

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.
Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.

The instrument is connected with standard three-wire cable without
shielding. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above
the test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, shielded cable should
be used.
Make sure that the cable used has the required temperature resist-

5.2 Connection procedure
With Ex instruments, the housing cover may only be opened if there is
no explosive atmosphere present.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug
3. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
4. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
5. Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver (see
following illustration)
Fig. 8: Connection steps 5 and 6
6. Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to the wir-
ing plan
7. Press down the opening levers of the terminals, you will hear the
terminal spring closing
8. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on
them
9. Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry gland. The seal
ring must completely encircle the cable

Ontheelectronicsmoduleyouwillndthefollowingdisplayand

• Potentiometer for adjustment of the density range (1)
• DIL switch for mode adjustment - min./max. (2)
• Signal lamp (5)
Note:
As a rule, always set the mode with mode switch (2) before starting
the setup of VEGAWAVE 61. The switching output will change if you
set the mode switch (2) afterwards.This could possibly trigger other
connected instruments or devices.

With the potentiometer you can adapt the switching point to the solid.
Itisalreadypresetandmustonlybemodiedinspecialcases.
By default, the potentiometer of VEGAWAVE 61 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 61 will thus be more sensitive and can detect light-
weight solids more reliably.

VEGAWAVE 61 • Relay (DPDT)
32247-EN-221012
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 setting (min./max.) you can change the switching
condition of the relay.You can set the required mode according to the
" Function table"(max.-max.detectionoroverowprotection,min.-
min. detection or dry run protection).
We recommend connecting according to the idle current principle
(relaycontactdeenergizeswhentheswitchingpointisreached),
because the relay always takes on the same (safe) state if a failure is
detected.
