guidelines. By affixing the CE marking, VEGA confirms successful
testing of the product.
Only with class A instruments:
The device is a class A instrument designed for use in an industrial
environment. When used in a different environment, e.g., in a living
area, the electromagnetic compatibility must be ensured by the user. If
necessary, suitable screening measures against conducted and
emitted disturbances must be taken.
You can find the conformity certificate in the download section under
www.vega.com.

3.2 Principle of operation
Application area
8 VEGAMIP T61 • Emitting unit
VEGAMIP 61 is a microwave barrier for level detection.
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and
can be used in bulk solids and liquids.
36998-EN-120228

21
3 Product description
Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. With an
operating distance of 100 m, VEGAMIP 61 can be used, for example,
in bulk solids silos with large diameters. Thanks to its simple and
rugged measuring system, VEGAMIP 61 is virtually unaffected by the
process and the chemical and physical properties of the medium.
VEGAMIP 61 can also be used for detection of vehicles and ships or
for material recognition on conveyor belts.
It works even under extremely difficult conditions: different grain sizes,
contamination, extreme filling noise, high temperatures, strong dust
generation and abrasive products are all no problem for the
instrument.
The VEGAMIP 61 consists of the following components.

1 Threaded version - internal horn antenna with PTFE cover
2 Plastic encapsulated antenna with PP cover
3 Horn antenna/316L

5 Encapsulated horn antenna with PTFE cover
Functional principle
The emitting unit transmits a focused microwave signal via horn
antenna to the receiving unit on the opposite side. If there is medium
between emitting and receiving unit, the signal is damped. This
change is detected by the built-in electronics module and converted
into a switching command.
3.3 Packaging, transport and storage
Packaging
Transport
Transport inspection
10 VEGAMIP T61 • Emitting unit
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. 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.

Mounting adapter
With high process temperatures exceeding 80 °C, you have to use a
mounting adapter for the emitting and the receiving unit. The mounting
adapter can only be used with the threaded version (internal horn
antenna with PTFE cover).

Installation
With instruments with threaded process fitting, suitable tools must be
applied for tightening the hexagon.
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in
particular the active measuring component, process seal and process
fitting, are suitable for the existing process conditions. These include
above all the 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
type label.
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 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.
4.2 Instructions for installation
You can find the mounting instructions for VEGAMIP 61 in the
operating instructions of the receiving unit.

5.1 Preparing the connection
Safety instructions
Voltage supply
Connection cable
Connection technology
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
l If voltage surges are expected, install overvoltage arresters
Connect the operating voltage according to the connection diagrams.
The electronics module is designed in protection class I. To maintain
this protection class, it is absolutely necessary that the earth conductor
be connected to the inner earth conductor terminal. Keep the general
installation regulations in mind. Take note of the corresponding
installation regulations for hazardous areas with Ex applications.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
The instrument is connected with standard three-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.
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm
(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. If you are
using cable with a different diameter or cross-section, exchange the
seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Cover all housing openings conforming to standard according to
EN 60079-1.
5.2 Connection procedure
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the springloaded terminals in the housing.
Connection procedure
14 VEGAMIP T61 • Emitting unit
Proceed as follows:
1 Unscrew the housing cover
2 Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
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
36998-EN-120228
5 Connecting to power supply
4 Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
Fig. 4: Connection steps 4 and 5
5 Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan
Information:
Solid cores as well as flexible cores with cable end sleeves are
inserted directly into the terminal openings. In case of flexible cores
without end sleeves, press the terminal with a small screwdriver; the
terminal opening is freed. When the screwdriver is released, the
terminal closes again.
6 Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on
them
7 Connect the screen to the internal ground terminal, connect the
outer ground terminal to potential equalisation
8 Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry. The seal ring must
completely encircle the cable
9 Screw the housing cover back on
The electrical connection is finished.
Information:
The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the
electronics. To do this, lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver
and pull it out. When inserting the terminal block again, you should
hear it snap in.

That's why the associated approval documents have to be noted with these instruments. They are
part of the delivery or can be downloaded under
