VEGAVIB S61 Product Overview
VEGAVIB S61 is a vibrating level switch launched by VEGA, used for level detection of granular or powdery solids. It uses piezoelectric drive to make the vibrating rod resonate. When the material covers the vibrating rod, the amplitude changes, thereby outputting a switching signal.
This instrument is widely used in scenarios such as silos, storage tanks, and chutes. It features anti-adhesion, maintenance-free, and adjustable sensitivity.
Core Advantages
- Anti-adhesion design: The surface of the vibrating rod is polished to reduce material accumulation.
- Adjustable sensitivity: Adapts to solid materials with different densities and dielectric constants.
- Multiple outputs: Relay, transistor, NAMUR, and other signals are optional.
- High protection rating: IP66/IP67, suitable for harsh working conditions.
Technical Parameters and Selection
During selection, parameters such as process connection, power supply, output, and process temperature need to be confirmed. The table below lists the main technical specifications of the VEGAVIB S61.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Measuring range | Level switch point (vibrating rod length optional) |
| Process temperature | -40°C ~ +150°C (depending on process connection) |
| Process pressure | -1 ~ +16 bar |
| Supply voltage | 20 ~ 253 V AC/DC (depending on output type) |
| Output signal | Relay, transistor, NAMUR, 8/16 mA |
| Protection rating | IP66/IP67 |
| Process connection | Thread, flange (optional) |
Selection Steps
- Confirm material characteristics: particle size, density, adhesiveness.
- Select process connection: thread or flange, material must be corrosion-resistant.
- Determine output type: select relay or transistor, etc., according to the control system.
- Check supply voltage: AC or DC, matching the on-site power supply.
- Confirm process temperature and pressure: ensure they are within the allowable range.
Installation and Commissioning Points
Correct installation ensures measurement reliability. The vibrating rod should avoid direct impact from materials and leave enough space to prevent material buildup.
Installation Precautions
- The installation position should avoid the feed inlet to prevent materials from directly impacting the vibrating rod.
- For highly adhesive materials, vertical installation or an inclination angle greater than 15° is recommended.
- Ensure the vibrating rod extends fully into the silo and there are no interference sources such as agitators around it.
- Tighten the process connection to ensure sealing and prevent leakage.
Commissioning Steps
- After power-on, observe the LED indicator status.
- When the silo is empty, adjust the sensitivity potentiometer so that the instrument outputs the "uncovered" signal.
- Cover the vibrating rod with material and confirm that the output switches to the "covered" signal.
- If the sensitivity is insufficient, readjust the potentiometer until reliable operation is achieved.
Common Problems and Maintenance
The VEGAVIB S61 is usually maintenance-free, but regular inspection can extend its service life. Common problems include false alarms and no output.
Troubleshooting
- False alarm: Check whether the vibrating rod has material buildup, clean it, and then recommission.
- No output: Check whether the supply voltage and wiring are correct.
- Decreased sensitivity: Readjust the potentiometer, or check whether the vibrating rod is worn.
