3 .2 Principle of operation

VEGASWING

63 is a point level sensor with tuning fork for level detection.

It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and can be used in liquids.

Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. The small tuning fork allows use in all kinds of tanks and vessels. Thanks to its simple and rugged measuring system, VEGASWING 63 is virtually unaffected by the chemical and physical properties of the liquid.

It functions even under difficult conditions such as turbulence, air bubbles, foam generation, buildup, strong external vibration or changing products.

Fault monitoring

The electronics module of VEGASWING 63 continuously monitors via frequency evaluation the following criteria: l l l

Strong corrosion or damage on the tuning fork

Loss of vibration

Line break to the piezo drive

If a malfunction 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 tuning fork is piezoelectrically energised and vibrates at its mechanical resonance frequency of approx. 1200 Hz. The piezos are fixed mechanically and are hence not subject to temperature shock limitations. The frequency changes when the tuning fork is covered by the medium. This change is detected by the integrated electronics module and converted into a switching command.

VEGASWING

63 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 switching condition of VEGASWING 63 with plastic housing can be checked when the housing is closed (signal lamp). With the basic setting, products with a density > 0.7 g/cm³ (0.025 lbs/in³) can be detected. The instrument can be adapted if products with lower density are to be measured.

l l l

On the electronics module you will find the following indicating and adjustment elements:

Signal lamp for indication of the switching condition (green/red)

DIL switch for sensitivity adjustment

Mode adjustment for selection of the switching condition (A/B)

3 .4 Storage 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 can be provided with a protective cover of ABS. 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.

l l l l l

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:

Not in the open

Dry and dust free

Not exposed to corrosive media

Protected against solar radiation

Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration l l

4 .1 General instructions

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" or on the type label.

In general, VEGASWING 63 can be installed in any position. The instrument simply has to be mounted in such a way that the tuning fork is at the height of the desired switching point.

The tuning fork has lateral markings (notches) that indicate the switching point with vertical mounting. The switching point refers to water with the basic setting of the sensitivity switch ≥ 0.7 g/cm³

(0.025 lbs/in³). When mounting VEGASWING 63, make sure that this marking is at the height of the requested switching point. Keep in mind that the switching point of the instrument is shifted if the medium has a density other than water - water 1 g/cm³ (0.036 lbs/in³). For products

<

0.7 g/cm³ (0.025 lbs/in³) and > 0.5 g/cm³ (0.018 lbs/in³) the density switch must be set to ≥ 0.5 g/cm³.

Keep in mind that foams with a density > 0.45 g/cm³ (0.016 lbs/in³) are detected by the sensor. This can cause faulty switchings particulary when used as dry run protection system.

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.

Caution:

Do not hold VEGASWING 63 on the tuning fork. Particularly with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be damaged just by the weight of the instrument. Transport coated instruments very carefully and avoid touching the tuning fork.

Remove the packaging or the protective cover just before installation.

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.

The max. permissible pressure is specified in chapter "Technical data" or on the type label of the sensor.

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 screwing in.

.2 Mounting instructions

VEGASWING

63 has a defined thread starting point. This means that every VEGASWING 63 is in the same fork position after being screwed in. Remove therefore the supplied seal from the thread of

VEGASWING

63. This seal is not required when using a welded socket with O-ring in front.

VEGASWING


4 Mounting

Keep in mind that this welded socket is not suitable for coated instrument versions.

Screw VEGASWING 63 completely into the welded socket. The later position can be determined already before welding. Mark the appropriate position of the welded socket. Before welding, unscrew

VEGASWING

63 and remove the rubber ring from the welded socket.

The welded socket has a marking (notch). Weld the socket with the notch facing upward, or in case of pipelines (DN 32 up to DN 50), aligned with the direction of flow.

Marking

In case of horizontal mounting in adhesive and viscous products, the surfaces of the tuning fork should be vertical in order to reduce buildup on the tuning fork. On the screwed version you will find a marking on the hexagon. With this, you can check the position of the tuning fork when screwing it in. When the hexagon touches the seal, the thread can still be turned by approx. half a turn. This is sufficient to reach the recommended installation position.

With flange versions, the fork is directed to the flange holes.

When used in adhesive and viscous products, the tuning fork should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup. For that reason, sockets for flanges and mounting bosses should be avoided when mounting horizontally.

If VEGASWING 63 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount

VEGASWING

63 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.

g. from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur.

This applies particularly to instrument types with long extension tube.

14

Flows

Agitators

Fig. 8: Inflowing medium

To minimise flow resistance caused by the tuning fork, VEGASWING

63 should be mounted in such a way that the surfaces of the blades are parallel to the product movement.

Due to agitators, vibrations or similar, the level switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long extension tube for VEGASWING 63, but check if you can mount a

VEGASWING

61 level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position.

Extreme vibration caused by the process or the equipment, e.g.

agitators or turbulence in the vessel, can cause the extension tube of

VEGASWING

63 to vibrate in resonance. This leads to increased stress on the upper weld joint. Should a longer tube version be necessary, you can provide a suitable support directly above the tuning fork to secure the extension tube.

This measure applies mainly to applications in Ex areas category 1G or

WHG. Make sure that the tube is not subject to bending stress due to this measure.

Voltage supply

5 Connecting to power supply

5 .1 Preparing the connection

Always keep in mind the following safety instructions: l

Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage

In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the sensors and power supply units.

Connection cable

Connect the operating voltage according to the following diagrams.

Oscillator SWE60C is designed in protection class 1. To maintain this protection class, it is absolutely necessary that the ground conductor be connected to the internal ground terminal. Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGASWING 63 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential.

On the side of the housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries. This connection serves to drain off electrostatic charges.

In Ex applications, the installation regulations for hazardous areas must be given priority.

The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".

The instrument is connected with standard two-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

VEGASWING

63.

Connection cable for Ex applications

Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex applications.

5 .2 Connection procedure

With Ex instruments, the housing cover may only be opened if there is no explosive atmosphere present.

Proceed as follows:

1

Unscrew the housing cover

2

Loosen compression nut of the cable entry

Connection terminals

We recommend connecting VEGASWING 63 in such a way that the switching circuit is open when there is a level signal, line break or failure (safe condition).

Information:

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.

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.

With the mode adjustment (A/B) you can change the switching condition of the relay. You can set the required mode according to the

"F unction chart" (A - max. detection or overflow protection, B - min.

detection or dry run protection).

With this DIL switch (3) you can set the switching point to liquids having a density between 0.5 and 0.7 g/cm³ (0.018 and 0.025 lbs/in³).

With the basic setting, liquids with a density of > 0.7 g/cm³ (0.025 lbs/ in³) can be detected. In liquids with lower density, you must set the switch to > 0.5 g/cm³ (0.018 lbs/in³). The specifications for the position of the switching point relate to water - density value 1 g/cm³ (0.036 lbs/ in³). In products with a different density, the switching point will shift in the direction of the housing or tuning fork end depending on the density and type of installation.

Note:

Keep in mind that foams with a density > 0.45 g/cm³ (0.016 lbs/in³) are detected by the sensor. This can cause faulty switchings particulary when used as dry run protection system.
