1.1 Function and configuration
VEGASEL 643 auxiliary level switch is a build-in instrument with terminal socket, suitable for carrier rail
mounting (DIN 46 277). Together with a sensor or a
VEGAMET… signal conditioning instrument it is used
for level detection.
Typical applications are two-point controls, e.g. pump
controls (ON/OFF) and monitoring functions such as
overfill protection and protection against dry running of
pumps.
The auxiliary level switch is provided with two passive
inputs, a current and a voltage input as well as additionally with an active current input. Hence VEGASEL
643 can be connected for control either with a
VEGAMET… or a sensor (4 … 20 mA).

- VEGASEL 643 auxiliary level switch powers via the
active current input the sensors and processes its
continuous 4 … 20 mA current signal into a switching command.

Configuration
With a VEGASEL 643 an available measuring system,
consisting of sensor and VEGAMET signal conditioning instrument can be extended by a level detection.
Or an own measuring system can be created with a
4 … 20 mA sensor.
1.2 Approvals
If measuring systems are created according to the
following approvals, the respective legal documents
and their regulations have to be observed. These
documents are supplied with the respective measuring system.
WHG-approval, VbF-approval
