This operating instructions manual applies to the following instrument versions:
• Software from 3.82
3.2Principle of operation
VEGABAR 53 is a pressure transmitter for measurement of overpressure, absolute pressure or vacuum. Measured products are gases, vapours and liquids in measuring ranges up to 4000 bar (400 MPa); with front-flush version also viscous liquids in measuring ranges up to 600 bar (60 MPa).
The process pressure acts on the sensor element via the stainless steel diaphragm and an internal transmission liquid. This causes a resistance change which is converted into a corresponding output signal and outputted as a measured value. With measuring ranges up to 16 bar a pieoresistive sensor element is used, with measuring ranges from 25 bar a strain gauge (DMS) sensor element.

4.1General instructions
Suitability for the process Make sure that all parts of the instrument coming in direct contact conditions with the process, especially the sensor element, process seal and
process fitting, are suitable for the existing process conditions, such as process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical properties of the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the nameplate.
Diaphragm protection |
To protect the diaphragm, the process fitting is covered by a protec- |
|||||||||
|
tive cap. |
|||||||||
|
Remove the protective cap just before installation so that the dia- |
|||||||||
|
phragm will not get damaged. It is recommended to keep the cap and |
|||||||||
|
use it again later for storage or transport. |
|||||||||
Installation position |
Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and |
|||||||||
|
connecting as well as later retrofitting of a display and adjustment |
|||||||||
|
module. The housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of any |
|||||||||
|
tools.You can also install the display and adjustment module in four |
|||||||||
|
different positions (each displaced by 90°). |
|||||||||
Moisture |
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power |
|||||||||
|
supply") and tighten the cable gland. |
|||||||||
|
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture |
|||||||||
|
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the |
|||||||||
|
cable entry.Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.This ap- |
|||||||||
|
plies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas where |
|||||||||
|
high humidity is expected (e.g.through cleaning processes) or on |
|||||||||
|
cooled or heated vessels. |

|
|
|
|
|
• |
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage |
|
|
|

|
Connection cable |
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without |
|||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
be used. |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use cable with round cross-section.A cable outer diameter of |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
5 … 9 mm (0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using cable with a different diameter or cross-section, |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland. |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART multi- |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
drop mode. |
||
Cable gland ½ NPT |
On the instrument with cable entry ½ NPT and plastic housing there is |
|||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
a metallic ½" threaded insert moulded into the plastic housing. |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
Caution: |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
No grease should be used when screwing the NPT cable gland or |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
steel tube into the threaded insert. Standard grease can contain |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
additives that corrode the connection between threaded insert and |

Cable screening and grounding
housing.This would influence the stability of the connection and the tightness of the housing.
If screened cable is necessary, connect the cable screen on both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the screen must be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the outside of the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low impedance).
If potential equalisation currents are expected, the connection on the processing side must be made via a ceramic capacitor (e.g.1 nF, 1500V).The low-frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequency interference signals remains.
Warning:
Considerable potential differences exist inside galvanic plants as well as vessels with cathodic corrosion protection. Very large equalisation currents can flow through the cable screen when the screen
is grounded on both ends. To avoid this, the cable screen must be connected to ground potential only on one end (inside the switching cabinet) in such applications.The cable screen must not be connected to the internal ground terminal in the sensor and the outer ground terminal on the housing not to potential equalisation!
Information:
The metallic parts of the instrument (transmitter, process fitting, etc.) are conductively connected with the inner and outer ground terminal on the housing. This connection exists either as a direct metallic contact or via the shielding of the special connection cable on instruments with external electronics.You can find specifications on the potential connections within the instrument in chapter "Technical data".
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex applications. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisation currents flow over the cable screen.In case of grounding on both sides this can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential equalisation.

Proceed as follows:
1.Unscrew the housing cover
2.If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turning it to the left.
3.Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
4.Remove approx. 10 cm of the cable mantle, strip approx. 1 cm insulation from the individual wires
5.Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
6.Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver (see following illustration)
7.Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to the wiring plan

8.Press down the opening levers of the terminals, you will hear the terminal spring closing
9.Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on them
10.Connect the screen to the internal ground terminal, connect the outer ground terminal to potential equalisation
11.Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry. The seal ring must completely encircle the cable
12.Screw the housing cover back on
The electrical connection is hence finished.
