Pressure
In case of gauge or low pressure in the ves-
sel, the mounting boss must be sealed on the
thread. Use the supplied seal ring. Make
sure that the seal ring is resistant to the me-
dium.
Cable entries
When mounting outdoors, on cooled vessels
or in humid areas where cleaning is done,
e.g. with steam or high pressure, the seal of
the electrical cable entry is very important.
Use electrical cable with a round cross-sec-
tion and tighten the cable entry firmly. The
cable entry is suitable for cable diameters of
5 mm to 9 mm.

2.1 Installation instructions
Lateral load
Make sure that the cable is not subjected to
strong lateral forces. Mount VEGAFLEX at a
location where no interference caused by,
e.g., stirrers, filling inlets etc. can occur.
Moisture from outside
To avoid moisture ingress, the connection
cable leading to the housing should be
looped downward (directly in front of the
cable entry), so that rain and condensation
water can drain off. This mainly applies to
outdoor mounting, in areas where moisture is
expected (e.g. by cleaning processes) or to
cooled or heated vessels.

Measuring range
Keep in mind that the entire length of the rod
cannot be used.
