Product description
29225-EN-070614

Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection.With a
tuning fork of only 40 mm length,VEGASWING 61 can be also
mounted,e.g.in pipelines from DN 25.The small tuning fork
allows use in vessels,tanks and pipes.Thanks to its simple
and robust measuring system,VEGASWING 61 is virtually
unaffected by the chemical and physical properties of the
liquid.
It functions even under difficult conditions such as turbulence,
air bubbles,foam generation,buildup,strong external vibration
or changing products.
Fault monitoring
The electronics module of VEGASWING 61 continuously
monitors via frequency evaluation the following criteria:
lStrong corrosion or damage on the tuning fork
lloss of vibration
lLine break to the piezo drive
If a malfunction is detected or in case of power failure,the
electronics takes on a defined switching condition,i.e.the
output transistor blocks (safe condition).
The tuning fork is piezoelectrically energised and vibrates at its
mechanical resonance frequency of approx.1200 Hz.The
piezos are fixed mechanically and are hence not subject to
temperature shock limitations.The frequency changes when
the tuning fork is covered by the medium.This change is
detected by the integrated oscillator and converted into a
switching command.
VEGASWING 61 is a compact instrument,i.e.it can be
operated without 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,aPLC,a pump etc.).
The data for power supply are stated in chapter "Technical
data"in the "Supplement".
3.3Operation
The switching condition of VEGASWING 61 with plastic
housing can be checked when the housing is closed (signal
lamp). In the basic adjustment,products with a density >0.7g/
cm³(0.025 lbs/in³)can be detected.The instrument can be
adapted if products with lower density should be measured.

4Mounting
4.1General instructions
In general,VEGASWING 61 can be mounted in any position.
The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the tuning
fork is at the height of the requested switching point.
The tuning fork has lateral markings (notches)that indicate the
switching point with vertical mounting.The switching point
refers to water with the basic setting of the sensitivity switch
>=0.7g/cm³(0.025 lbs/in³). When mounting VEGASWING 61,
make sure that this marking is at the height of the requested
switching point.Keep in mind that the switching point of the
instrument is shifted if the medium has a density other than
water -water =1g/cm³(0.036 lbs/in³). For products <0.7g/cm³
(0.025 lbs/in³)and >0.5g/cm³(0.018 lbs/in³)the density switch
must be set to >=0.5g/cm³.
Keep in mind that foams with a density >0.45 g/cm³(0.016 lbs/
in³)are detected by the sensor.This can cause faulty
switchings particulary when used as dry run protection system.

power supply")and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your VEGASWING 61 additional protection
against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable
downward in front of the cable entry.Rain and condensation

water can thus drain off.This applies mainly to mounting
outdoors,in areas where moisture is expected (e.g.by
cleaning processes)or on cooled or heated vessels.
Fig.6:Measures against moisture penetration
Do not hold VEGASWING 61 on the tuning fork.Particularly
with flange or tube versions,the tuning fork can be damaged
just by the weight of the instrument.Transport coated
instruments very carefully and avoid touching the tuning fork.
Remove the protective cover just before mounting.
The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or low
pressure in the vessel.Before use,check if the seal material is
resistant against the measured product and the process
temperature.
The max.permissible pressure is stated in chapter "Technical
data"in the "Supplement"or on the type label of the sensor.
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 on the housing can damage its
rotational mechanical parts.
To screw in,use the hexagon above the thread.

4.2Mounting instructions
VEGASWING 61 has a defined thread starting point.This
means that every VEGASWING 61 is in the same fork position
after being screwed in.Remove therefore the supplied seal
from the thread of VEGASWING 61.This seal is not required
when using a welded socket with O-ring in front.
Keep in mind that this welded socket is not suitable for coated
instrument versions.
Screw VEGASWING 61 completely into the welded socket.
The later position can be determined already before welding.
Mark the appropriate position of the welded socket.Before
welding,unscrew VEGASWING 61 and remove the rubber ring
from the welded socket.The welded socket has a marking
(notch). Weld the socket with the notch facing upward,or in
case of pipelines,aligned with the direction of flow.
1
Fig.7:Marking on the welded socket
1Marking
In case of horizontal mounting in adhesive and viscous
products,the surfaces of the tuning fork should be vertical in
order to reduce buildup on the tuning fork.On the screwed
version you will find a marking on the hexagon.With this,you
can check the position of the tuning fork when screwing it in.
When the hexagon touches the seal,the thread can still be
turned by approx.half a turn.This is sufficient to reach the
recommended installation position.
With flange versions,the fork is directed to the flange holes.
When used in adhesive and viscous products,the tuning fork
should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup.For that
reason,sockets for flanges and mounting bosses should be
avoided when mounting horizontally.

IfVEGASWING 61 is mounted in the filling stream,unwanted
mismeasurements may result.Mount VEGASWING 61 at a
location in the vessel where no disturbing influence from e.g.
filling openings,agitators,etc.can occur.
To minimise flow resistance caused by the tuning fork,
VEGASWING 61 should be mounted in such a way that the
surfaces of the blades are parallel to the product movement.

5Connecting to power supply
5.1Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
lConnect only in the complete absence of line voltage
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations,conformity and type approval certificates of the
sensors and power supply units.
Connect the power supply according to the following diagrams.
Take note of the general installation regulations.As a rule,
connect VEGASWING 61 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of
plastic vessels,to the next ground potential.On the side of the
instrument housing there is a ground terminal between the
cable entries.This connection serves to drain offelectrostatic
charges.InEx applications,the installation regulations for
hazardous areas must be given priority.
You can find data on voltage supply in chapter "Technical
data"in the "Supplement".
VEGASWING 61 is connected with standard cable with round
cross section.An outer cable diameter of 5…9mm
(0.2…0.35 in)ensures the seal effect of the cable gland.
If cable with a different diameter or wire cross section is used,
exchange the seal or use an appropriate cable connection.
In hazardous areas,only use approved cable connections for
VEGASWING 61.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications.
5.2Connection procedure
