3.2 Principle of operation
VEGASWING 63 is a point level sensor with tuning fork for point level
detection.
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and
can be used in liquids.
Typicalapplicationsareoverllanddryrunprotection.Thesmall
tuning fork allows use in all kinds of tanks and vessels.Thanks to its
simple and rugged measuring system, VEGASWING 63 is virtually
unaectedbythechemicalandphysicalpropertiesoftheliquid.
Itfunctionsevenunderdicultconditionssuchasturbulence,airbub-
bles, foam generation, buildup, strong external vibration or changing
products.
Function monitoring
The electronics module of VEGASWING 63 continuously monitors the
following criteria via frequency evaluation:
• Strong corrosion or damage on the tuning fork
• Loss of vibration
• Linebreaktothepiezodrive
If one of these faults is detected, the electronics signals it via a
denedcurrenttothesignalconditioninginstrument.Theconnection
cable to the sensor is also monitored for line break and short-circuit.
Thetuningforkispiezoelectricallyenergisedandvibratesatits
mechanicalresonancefrequencyofapprox.1200Hz.Thepiezosare
xed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 electronics
module, transferred as a current value to the processing system and
converted there into a switching command.
Depending on your requirements, VEGASWING 63 with two-wire
electronicscanbeconnectedtodierentsignalconditioninginstru-
ments. Compatible signal conditioning instruments are listed in
chapter "Technical data".
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
3.3 Adjustment
The switching condition of VEGASWING 63 with plastic housing can
be checked when the housing is closed (signal lamp). With the basic
setting,productswithadensity≥0.7g/cm³(0.025lbs/in³)canbede-
tected.The instrument can be adapted if products with lower density
are to be measured.

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tting,aresuitablefortheexistingprocessconditions,such
as process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical
properties of the medium.
Youcanndthespecications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, VEGASWING 63 can be installed in any position.The
instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork
is at the height of the desired switching point.
The tuning fork has lateral markings (notches) that indicate the
switching point with vertical mounting. The switching point applies
to water in conjunction with the basic setting of the density switch
≥0.7g/cm³(0.025lbs/in³).WhenmountingVEGASWING63,make
sure that this marking is at the height of the requested switching point.
Keep in mind that the switching point of the instrument will shift if the
mediumhasadensityotherthanwater-wateris1g/cm³(0.036lbs/
in³).Forproducts≤0.7g/cm³(0.025lbs/in³)and≥0.5g/cm³
(0.018lbs/in³)thedensityswitchmustbesetto≥0.5g/cm³.
Keepinmindthatfoamswithadensity≥0.45g/cm³(0.016lbs/in³)
are detected by the sensor. This can lead to erroneous switchings,
particulary when the sensor is used for dry run protection.

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entry.Rainandcondensationwatercanthusdraino.Thisap-
plies 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speciedinchapter
"Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions.

Caution:
Do not hold VEGASWING 63 on the tuning fork. Particularly with
ange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 packaging or the protective cover just before mounting.
Theprocesstting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speciedinchapter"Technical
data" 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 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.

4.2 Mounting instructions
VEGASWING63hasadenedthreadstartingpoint.Thismeans
that every VEGASWING 63 is in the same fork position after being
screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied seal from the thread of
VEGASWING 63.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 instru-
ment versions.
Screw VEGASWING 63 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 63 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 (DN 32 up to DN 50),
alignedwiththedirectionofow.

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nd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sucientto
reach the recommended installation position.
Inthecaseofangeversions,theforkisalignedwiththeangeholes.
When used in adhesive and viscous products, the tuning fork should
protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup. For that reason, sockets
forangesandmountingbossesshouldbeavoidedwhenmounting
horizontally.
IfVEGASWING63ismountedinthellingstream,unwantedfalse
measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount
VEGASWING 63 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances,
e.g.fromllingopenings,agitators,etc.,canoccur.
This applies particularly to instrument types with long extension tube.

To make sure the tuning fork of VEGASWING 63 generates as little
resistanceaspossibletoproductow,mountthesensorsothatthe
surfaces are parallel to the product movement.
Duetotheeectsofagitators,equipmentvibrationorsimilar,thelevel
switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do
not use an overly long extension tube for VEGASWING 63, but check
ifyoucanmountalevelswitchonthesideofthevesselinhorizontal
position.
Extreme vibration caused by the process or the equipment, e.g.
agitators or turbulence in the vessel, can cause the extension tube
of VEGASWING 63 to vibrate in resonance. This leads to increased
stress on the upper weld joint. Should a longer tube version be neces-
sary, you can provide a suitable support directly above the tuning fork
to secure the extension tube.
This measure applies mainly to applications in Ex areas category 1G
or WHG. Make sure that the tube is not subject to bending stress due
to this measure.

and avoid touching any sharp vessel parts.
The second seal of the gas-tight leadthrough (option) prevents an
uncontrolled leakage of the medium.The service life of the gas-tight
leadthrough depends on the chemical resistance of the materials.
See "Technical data".
Caution:
If it is determined (e.g. via an error message from VEGASWING 63)
that medium has already penetrated into the vibrating element, the
instrument must be exchanged immediately.

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oelectrostaticcharges.InExapplications,theinstal-
lationregulationsforhazardousareasmustbegivenpriority.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should
be used.
Make sure that the cable used has the required temperature resist-
anceandresafetyformax.occurringambienttemperature
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of
5…9mm(0.2…0.35in)ensuresthesealeectofthecablegland.
Ifyouareusingcablewithadierentdiameterorcross-section,
exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Inhazardousareas,useonlyapprovedcableconnectionsfor
