2.1 Installation instructions
Lateral load
Note that the measuring cable is not sub-
jected to strong lateral forces. Mount
VEGAFLEX to a position in the vessel where
no interfering influences such as e.g. of stir-
rers, filling openings etc. can occur (see fig.
2.1).
Shortening of the measuring cable
The cable can be shortened afterwards.
Loosen the three pins on the gravity weight
(hexagon) and remove the pins. Pull the
cable out of the gravity weight.
To avoid splicing of the steel cable during
cutting, you have to tin the cable around the
cutting position with a copper bit or strongly
tighten the cable with a wire. Shorten the
cable with a metal cutting saw or a cutting-off
wheel by the requested length.
In case of isolated cables with gravity weight,
the isolation should be removed on a certain
length (see fig. 2.2).

45 mm
VEGAFLEX 52 60 mm
In case of cable loops the cable should re-
main isolated.

Extraction forces
In case of strong extraction forces, e.g. dur-
ing quick emptying or settling of solids, high
tensile loads can be caused.
When such an installation position is neces-
sary, the cable should not be strained but
only equipped with a gravity weight as the
cable can more easily follow the product
movements. Note that the cable does not
touch the vessel wall.
Pressure
In case of gauge or low pressure in the ves-
sel, the mounting boss should be sealed on
the thread. Use the attached seal ring. Check
if the seal ring is resistant against the me-
dium.
