If you are using an instrument with rod version, you can extend the
rod probe individually with curved segments and rod and cable exten-
sions of dierent lengths.
All extensions used must not exceed a total length of 6 m (19.7 ft).
The extensions are available in the following lengths:
Rod: ø 16 mm (0.63 in)
•
Basic segments: 20 … 5900 mm (0.79 … 232 in)
•
Rod/cable segments: 20 … 5900 mm (0.79 … 232 in)
•
Curved segments: 100 x 100 mm (3.94 … 3.94 in)
You can nd further information in the operating instructions manual
"RodandcablecomponentsVEGAFLEX80series".
The combination of a bypass tube and a VEGAFLEX 86 enables con-
tinuous level measurement outside the vessel. The bypass consists
of a standpipe which is mounted as a communicating container on
the side of the vessel via two process ttings. This kind of mounting
ensures that the level in the standpipe and the level in the vessel are
the same.
The length and the process ttings can be congured individually. No
dierent connection versions available.
You can nd further information in the operating instructions manual
"
BypasstubeVEGAPASS81".
If you mount the VEGAFLEX 86 in a bypass tube or standpipe, you
have to avoid contact to the bypass tube by using a spacer at the
probe end.
You can nd additional information in the operating instructions
manual "Centering".
If there is a risk of the cable probe touching the vessel wall during
operation due to product movements or agitators, etc., the measuring
probe can be strained.
Cables with a diameter up to 8 mm (0.315 in) can thus be strained.
For this purpose there is an internal thread (M12 or M8) in the gravity
weight.
