Mounting
Lateral load
Pressure
In case of gauge or low pressure in the ves-
sel, the mounting boss must be sealed on the
thread. Make sure that the seal ring is resist-
ant to the medium.
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 round cross-section
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 measuring rod 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, to areas where moisture is
expected (e.g. by cleaning processes) or to
cooled or heated vessels.
