2.1 General information
- Remove the seal ring before welding the socket.
- In case of pressure in the vessel, VEGAKON must
be sealed at the thread. Cover the thread with
Teflon, hemp etc. or use the attached seal ring.
- A fitting, VEGAKON 63 must only be used in
unpressurized vessels.
- In case of extreme vibration and shock, e.g. by
stirrers or turbulence in the vessel etc., the
extension tube of VEGAKON 63 may vibrate. A
fixing should be used to eliminate vibration.
2.2 VEGAKON 61
Observe that the standard or hygienic mounting
bosses used for mounting are flush with the inner wall
of the vessel.
This ensures the correct position of the annular
electrode.
2.3 VEGAKON 63
The switch point can be fixed on a socket with thread
G1 A or via a previously welded standard socket
(thread G 1 A).
With a fitting (mounting thread G 1

A) the switch
point remains variable by adjustment of height.
Please note that when the switch point is high the
position of the annular electrode must be still within the
inner part of the vessel.

Note:
In case of very adhesive products the VEGAKON
should not be flush with the side walls or the vessel
bottom if they are still covered with a thick layer even
when the vessel is empty.In this case it is better to use
a short VEGAKON 63 (e.g. 100 mm length) so that the
electrode extends through the remaining product
layer.

Fixing facility
- After electrical installation (horizontally) turn the
housing such that the cable entries point
downwards. This avoids humidity ingress. The
housing can rotate through 330 ° . In case of vertical
mounting lead the connection line (s) from the
cable gland first downwards so that rain and
condensation water can drain off.
