5 Connecting to power supply

5.1 Preparing the connection

Always observe the following safety instructions:

l

Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage

In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate

regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the

sensors and power supply units.

Connect the power supply according to the following diagrams.

Oscillator VB60R is designed in protection class 1. To maintain

this protection class, it is absolutely necessary that the ground

conductor be connected to the internal ground terminal. Take

note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect

VEGAVIB 66 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic

vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the

housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries.

This connection serves to drain off electrostatic charges. In Ex

applications, the installation regulations for hazardous areas

must be given priority.
The data for power supply are stated in the "Technical data" in

the "Supplement".

VEGAVIB 66 is connected with standard cable with round

cross-section. An outer cable diameter of 5 … 9 mm

(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable entry.
If cable with a different diameter or wire cross section is used,

exchange the seal or use an appropriate cable connection.

In hazardous areas, only use approved cable connections for

VEGAVIB 66.

Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex

applications.

5.2 Connection steps
