3.2 Principle of operation
Application area
Functional principle
VEGAVIB 62 is a point level sensor with vibrating rod for level
detection.
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and
is preferably used for bulk solids.
Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. Thanks to its
simple and robust measuring system, VEGAVIB 62 is virtually
unaffected by the chemical and physical properties of the bulk solid.
It also works when subjected to strong external vibrations or changing
products.
Solid detection in water
If VEGAVIB 62 was ordered for solid detection in water, the vibrating
rod is calibrated to the density of water. If covered by water (density:
1 g/cm³/0.036 lbs/in) VEGAVIB 62 signals "uncovered". Only if the
vibrating element is also covered with solids (e.g. sand, sludge, gravel
etc.) will the sensor signal "covered".
Fault monitoring
The electronics module of VEGAVIB 62 monitors continuously the
following criteria:
l Correct vibrating frequency
l Line break to the piezo drive
If one of the stated malfunctions is detected or in case of power failure,
the electronics takes on a defined switching condition, i.e. the
contactless electronic switch opens (safe condition).
The vibrating rod is piezoelectrically energised and vibrates at its
mechanical resonance frequency of approx. 360 Hz. When the
vibrating rod is submerged in the product, the vibration amplitude
changes. This change is detected by the integrated electronics module
and converted into a switching command.
Voltage supply
VEGAVIB 62 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
pump etc.).
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".

3.3 Operation
With the factory setting, products with a density of > 0.05 g/cm³
(0.002 lbs/in³) can be measured. It is possible to adapt the instrument
for products with lower density > 0.02 g/cm³ (0.0007 lbs/in³).
On the electronics module you will find the following indicating and
adjustment elements:
l Signal lamp for indication of the switching condition (green/red)
l Potentiometer for adaptation to the product density
l Mode switch for selecting the switching condition (min./max.)
3.4 Storage and transport
Packaging
Transport
Transport inspection
Storage
Storage and transport
temperature
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 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.
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 -

Suitability for the process conditions
Switching point
Moisture
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in
particular the sensor element, 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.
In general, VEGAVIB 62 must be mounted vertically. The instrument
must be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the
height of the requested switching point.
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.

10 VEGAVIB 62 • - contactless electronic switch
Do not hold VEGAVIB 62 on the vibrating element. Especially with
flange and tube versions, the sensor can be damaged by the weight of
the instrument.
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.

Handling
Tensile load
Material cone
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 scr ewing in.
4.2 Instructions for installation
Make sure that the max. permissible tensile load of the suspension
cable is not exceeded. The danger of this happening exists particularly
with very heavy solids and large meas. lengths. The max. permissible
load is stated in chapter "Technical data".
In silos for bulk solids, material cones can form and change the
switching point. Please keep this in mind when installing the sensor in
the vessel. We recommend selecting an installation location where the
vibrating rod detects an average value of the material cone.
The vibrating rod must be mounted in a way that takes the
arrangement of the filling and emptying apertures into account.
To compensate measurement errors caused by the material cone in
cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at a distance of d/6
from the vessel wall.

The vibrating element should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup.
For that reason, avoid using mounting bosses for flanges and screwed
fittings. This applies particularly to use with adhesive products.
Inflowing medium
If VEGAVIB 62 is mounted in the filling st ream, unwanted false
measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount
VEGAVIB 62 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g.
from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur.

5.1 Preparing the connection
Note safety instructions
Take note of the
safety instructions for Ex
applications
Voltage supply
Connection cable
Connection cab-
le for Ex applications
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
In hazardous areas you must take note of the respective regulations,
conformity and type approval certificates of the sensors and power
supply units.
Connect the operating voltage according to the connection diagrams.
The electronics module VB60C is designed in protection class I. To
maintain this protection class, it is absolutely necessary that the earth
conductor is 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.
In hazardous areas, only use approved cable connections for VEGAVIB
62.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications.
Cover all housing openings conforming to standard according to
EN 60079-1.
5.2 Connection procedure

Wiring plan
We recommend connecting VEGAVIB 62 in such a way that the
switching circuit is open when there is a level signal, line break or
failure (safe condition).
The contactless electronic switch is always shown in non-operative
condition.
Warning:
The instrument must not be operated without an intermediately
connected load, because the electronics would be destroyed if
connected directly to the mains. It is not suitable for connection to low
voltage PLC inputs.
Examples for typical applications:
l Load resistance at 24 V DC: 88 … 1800 Ω
l Rated power, relay 253 V AC: > 2.5 VA
l Rated power, relay 24 V AC: > 0.5 VA
For direct control of relays, contactors, magnet valves, warning lights,
horns etc.
Domestic current is temporarily lowered below 1 mA after switching off
the load so that contactors, whose holding current is lower than the
constant domestic current of the electronics, are reliably switched off.
When VEGAVIB 62 is used as part of an overfill protection system
according to WHG, also note the regulations of the general type
approval.

6.1 General information
The figures in brackets refer to the following illustrations.
Function/Configuration
Electronics and connec-
tion compartment
On the electronics module you will find the following indicating and
adjustment elements:
l Potentiometer for adaptation to the product density (1)
l DIL switch for mode adjustment - min./max. (2)
l Signal lamp (5)

6 Set up
As a default setting, the potentiometer of VEGAVIB 62 is set to the
complete right position (> 0.3 g/cm³/0.011 lbs/in³). In very light solids
you have to turn the potentiometer to the complete left position
(0.02 … 0.1 g/cm³ or 0.0007 … 0.0036 lbs/in³). By doing this,
VEGAVIB 62 will be more sensitive and light solids can be detected
more reliably.
For instruments detecting solids in water, these settings are not
applicable. The switching point adaptation is preset and must not be
changed.
Mode adjustment (2)
Signal lamp (5)
With the mode adjustment (min./max.) you can change the switching
condition of the output. You can set the required mode according to
the "Function chart" (max. - max. detection or overflow protection, min.
- min. detection or dry run protection).
We recommend connecting according to the quiescent current
principle (contactless electronic switch is open when the switching
point is reached) because the contactless electronic switch takes on
the same (safe) condition if a failure is detected.
