All operations described in this operating instructions manual must be
carried out only by trained specialist personnel authorised by the plant
operator.
During work on and with the device the required personal protective
equipment must always be worn.
2.2 Appropriate use
The VEGAKON 61 is a sensor for level detection.
You can find detailed information on the application range in chapter
"Product description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used
according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as
well as possible supplementary instructions.
For safety and warranty reasons, any invasive work on the device

carried out only by personnel authorised by the manufacturer. Arbitrary
conversions or modifications are explicitly forbidden.
2.3 Warning about misuse
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to
application-specific hazards, e.g. vessel overfill or damage to system
components through incorrect mounting or adjustment.
2.4 General safety instructions
This is a high-tech instrument requiring the strict observance of
standard regulations and guidelines. The user must take note of the
safety instructions in this operating instructions manual, the countryspecific installation standards as well as all prevailing safety
regulations and accident prevention rules.
The instrument must only be operated in a technically flawless and
reliable condition. The operator is responsible for trouble-free
operation of the instrument.

electrode
These alternating currents are measured in respect to their amplitude
and phase position and converted into a switching command.
Interfering buildup is automatically eliminated via the neutralisation
electrode, the conductivity detected and the switching point sensitivity
derived thereof. An adjustment of the instrument is not necessary.
VEGAKON 61 can be used for reliable detection of products over a
very wide conductivity and viscosity range.
VEGAKON 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, a
PLC, a pump etc.).
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
3.3 Operation
The VEGAKON 61 is a compact level switch with integrated
electronics module.
On the electronics module you will find the following indicating and
adjustment elements:
l Control lamp for indication of the switching status
l Mode changeover for selection of the output signal

3.4 Stora
ge and transport
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environmentfriendly, recyclable cardboard. In addition, the sensor is provided with
a protective cover of paperboard. For special versions PE foam or PE
foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out under 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
concealed 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:
l Not in the open
l Dry and dust free
l Not exposed to corrosive media
l Protected against solar radiation
l Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration
l Storage and transport temperature see chapter "Supplement -
Technical data - Ambient conditions"
l Relative humidity 20 … 85 %
