With remote housing -50 … 400°C(-58 … 752°F).<strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> - <strong>with</strong> <strong>two</strong>-<strong>wire</strong> <strong>output</strong> 9


Product descriptionTypical applications are overfill and dry run protection.The capacitive measuring principle places no special requirementson installation. Hence, many different applications canbe equipped <strong>with</strong> <strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong>.Physical principleThe probe, the measured product and the vessel wall form anelectrical capacitor. The capacitance is influenced by threemain factors.123Fig. 2: Functional principle - Plate capacitor1 Distance between the electrode surfaces2 Size of the electrode surfaces3 Type of dielectric between the electrodesThe probe and the vessel wall are the capacitor plates. Themeasured product is the dielectric. Due to the higher dielectricconstant (DK value) of the product compared to air, thecapacitance increases as the probe is gradually covered.The capacitance change is converted by the oscillator into aswitching command.SupplyDepending on your requirements, <strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>two</strong>-<strong>wire</strong>electronics can be connected to different signal conditioninginstruments. Compatible signal conditioning instruments arelisted under "Technical data".The exact range of the voltage supply is specified in the"Technical data" in the "Supplement".3.3 AdjustmentThe probe can be adapted to the dielectric constant of theproduct directly on the electronics module.10 <strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> - <strong>with</strong> <strong>two</strong>-<strong>wire</strong> <strong>output</strong>31317-EN-060223


Product descriptionA switching command can be triggered when the probe iscovered or laid bare.On the electronics module you will find the following indicatingand adjustment elements:lControl lamp for indication of the device status.3.4 Storage and transportPackagingStorage and transport temperatureYour instrument was protected by packaging during transport.Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assuredby a test acc. to DIN 55439.The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-friendly,recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PEfoam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging materialvia specialised recycling companies.l Storage and transport temperature see "Supplement -Technical data - Ambient conditions"l Relative humidity 20 … 85 %31317-EN-060223<strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> - <strong>with</strong> <strong>two</strong>-<strong>wire</strong> <strong>output</strong> 11


Mounting4.2 Mounting informationAgitators and fluidizationInflowing materialAgitators, equipment vibration, etc., can cause the level switchto be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do notuse an overly long probe for <strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong>, but check if youcan mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel inhorizontal position.If <strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> is mounted in the filling stream, unwantedswitching signals may be generated. Mount <strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> at alocation in the vessel where no disturbing influence from e.g.filling openings, agitators, etc. can occur.This applies particularly to instrument versions <strong>with</strong> a longerprobe.Fig. 4: Inflowing material31317-EN-060223SocketThe probe should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup. Forthat reason, avoid using mounting bosses for flanges andscrewed fittings. This applies particularly to use <strong>with</strong> adhesiveproducts.<strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> - <strong>with</strong> <strong>two</strong>-<strong>wire</strong> <strong>output</strong> 13


MountingMaterial coneIn silos <strong>with</strong> bulk solids, material cones can form which changethe switching point. Please keep this in mind when installingthe sensor in the vessel. We recommend selecting aninstallation location where the probe detects the average valueof the material cone.The measuring probe must be mounted in a way that takes thearrangement of the filling and emptying apertures into account.To compensate measurement errors caused by the materialcone in cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at adistance of d/6 from the vessel wall.d6d6ddFig. 5: Filling and emptying centered14 <strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> - <strong>with</strong> <strong>two</strong>-<strong>wire</strong> <strong>output</strong>31317-EN-060223

Connecting to power supply5 Connecting to power supply5.1 Preparing the connectionNote safety instructionsTake note of safetyinstructions for ExapplicationsAlways observe the following safety instructions:lConnect only in the complete absence of line voltageIn hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriateregulations, conformity and type approval certificates of thesensors and power supply units.Select power supplySelect connection cableConnect the power supply acc. to the following diagrams. Takenote of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect<strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plasticvessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of theinstrument housing there is a ground terminal between thecable entries. This connection serves to drain off electrostaticcharges. In Ex applications, the installation regulations forhazardous areas must be given priority.The data for power supply are stated in the "Technical data" inthe "Supplement".<strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> is connected <strong>with</strong> standard cable <strong>with</strong> roundcross-section. An outer cable diameter of 5 … 9 mm(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable entry.If cable <strong>with</strong> a different diameter or <strong>wire</strong> cross section is used,exchange the seal or use an appropriate cable connection.In hazardous areas, only use approved cable connections for<strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong>.Select connectioncable for Ex applicationsTake note of the corresponding installation regulations for Exapplications.5.2 Connection stepsWith Ex instruments, the housing cover may only be opened ifthere is no explosive atmosphere present.Proceed as follows:1 Unscrew the housing cover2 Loosen compression nut of the cable entry16 <strong>VEGACAP</strong> <strong>67</strong> - <strong>with</strong> <strong>two</strong>-<strong>wire</strong> <strong>output</strong>31317-EN-060223
