VEGA SWING 61 Vibrating Level Switch SWING61.CAGAVXPZL

The VEGA VEGASWING 61 is a compact vibrating fork level switch designed for reliable point level detection in liquids. Using proven tuning fork technology, it provides accurate switching independent of mounting position, conductivity, dielectric constant, viscosity, pressure, temperature, or foam formation. It is commonly used as a high-level alarm, low-level alarm, overfill protection, dry-run protection, and pump protection device in tanks, vessels, and pipelines.

Function

The VEGASWING 61 operates using a vibrating tuning fork. When the fork is immersed in liquid, its vibration frequency changes, causing the electronics to switch the output state. This simple and highly reliable measuring principle allows accurate level detection without calibration and remains unaffected by product properties or process conditions.
