3.2 Principle of operation
Application area
35786-EN-100531
VEGAMIP R61 • - Relay 7
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.
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 be also used for detection of vehicles and ships or
for material recognition on conveyor belts.

It works even under extremely difficult conditons, such as different
granulation sizes, contamination, extreme filling noise, high temperatures, strong dust generation or a brasive products.
The VEGAMIP 61 consists of the following components.

Several antenna versions are available for different applications.
Fig. 2: Antenna versions
1 Encapsulated horn antenna with PTFE cover
2 Plastic encapsulated antenna with PP cover
3 Horn antenna
4 VEGAMIP 61 with angled antenna extension
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
35786-EN-100531
VEGAMIP R61 • - Relay 9
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 us ed. 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 receiving unit. The mounting
adapter can be only used with the encapsulated horn antenna with
PTFE cover.

4.1 General instructions
Screwing in
Suitability for the pro-
cess conditions
Moisture
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 antenna, 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" or 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 Mounting instructions
Switching point

If possible, install VEGAMIP 61 in a position where a high signal
damping by the medium is expected.
