Vega VEGAWAVE 61 Series Tuning Fork Level Switch Horizontal ATEX II 1/3 D IP66 T Housing Polybutylene WAVES61.EXX2RA

Vega WAVES61.EXX2RA tuning fork level switch horizontal is a high-performance level switch designed for precise detection in industrial bulk solids and liquids. Featuring a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and aluminium housing, this sensor operates efficiently within a temperature range of -40°C to 80°C. The device is ATEX II 1/3 D IP66 T certified, making it suitable for hazardous and demanding environments.

This tuning fork sensor detects minimum or maximum levels reliably, even in light bulk solids with densities as low as 8 g/L, as well as heavier powders and abrasive or adhesive media. It includes a relay output (DPDT) and features an external LED for clear switch status indication. The sensor’s rugged design ensures resistance to buildup, static charge, and mechanical wear, making it maintenance-free.

Operating voltages span from 20 VAC to 253 VAC and 20 VDC to 72 VDC, with a maximum switching current of 3 A. The probe length of 220 mm ensures compatibility with many industrial containers and processes. Its horizontal mounting configuration provides versatile installation options.

The gasket is made from Klingersil C-4400, ensuring excellent sealing in pressurized environments up to 25 bar. The quick switching response times - approximately 0.5 seconds ON and 1 second OFF - allow for efficient level control and automation.

This device is ideal for overfill and low-level detection in sectors such as grain storage, cement manufacturing, metal oxide handling, and other heavy bulk materials. The IP66 and IP67 ratings guarantee protection against dust and water ingress, enhancing device longevity in harsh industrial conditions.

In summary, the Vega WAVES61.EXX2RA is a reliable, maintenance-free, and rugged tuning fork level switch suited for demanding industrial applications requiring precise level monitoring with hazardous area certification compliance.

The device operates in wide temperature ranges from -40°C to 80°C. It supports AC voltage up to 253V and DC voltage up to 72V with a maximum current of 3A. The robust construction ensures resistance to abrasive and adhesive media.
