3.2 Principle of operation
VEGABAR 63 is a pressure transmitter for measurement of over-
pressure, 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. The process pressure causes a resistance change
which is converted into a corresponding output signal and outputted as
measured value.
Power is supplied via the H1 Fieldbus. A two-wire cable according to
Fieldbus specification serves as carrier of both power and digital datafor multiple sensors. This cable can be operated in two versions:
l via an H1 interface card in the control system and additional power
supply
l via a Linking device

3.4 Packaging, transport and storage
Packaging
Transport
Transport inspection
Storage
10VE
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environmentfriendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE foil
is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
Instruments for oxygen applications are sealed in PE foil and provided
with a label "Oxygen! Use no Oil". Remove this foil just before
mounting the instrument! See instruction under "Mounting".
Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or
concealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:

4.1 General instructions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument in contact with the measured
product, 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" in the or on
the type label.
Caution:
After
removal of the diaphragm protective cover, the diaphragm must
not be pressed.
Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and
connecting as well as later retrofitting of an indicating and adjustment
module. The housing can be rotated by 330° without the use of any
tools. You can also install the indicating and adjustment module in four
different positions (each displaced by 90°).
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
applies 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.

5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
l If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed according to Foundation Fieldbus specification
Ti
p:
We recommend VEGA overvoltage arrester B63-32.
In
hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the sensors
and power supply u nits.
The instrument requires a operating voltage of 9 … 32 V DC.
Operating voltage and the digital bus signal are carried on the sametwo-wire connection cable. Power is supplied via the H1 power supply.
Connection is carried out with screened cable according to Fieldbus
specification.
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.
Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the
Fieldbus specification. In particular, make sure that the termination of
the bus is done with appropriate terminating resistors.
Cable gland ½ NPT

16VE
On the instrument with cable entry ½ NPT and plastic housing there is
a metallic ½" threaded insert moulded into the plastic housing.
Caution:
grease should be used when screwing the NPT cable gland or
No
steel tube into the threaded insert. Standard grease can contain
additives that corrode the connection between threaded insert and
housing. This would influence the stability of the connection and the
tightness of the housing.
In systems with p otential equalisation, connect the cable screen
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit, in the connection
box and at the sensor. The screen in the sensor must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal outside on
the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low
impedance).

systems without potential equalisation, connect the cable screen
In
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit and at the sensor.
In the connection box or T-distributor, the screen of the short stub to
the sensor must not be connected to ground potential or to another
cable screen. The cable screens to the power supply unit and to the
next distributor must be connected to each other and also connected
to ground potential via a ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low
frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the
protective effect against high frequency interference signals remains.
Th
e total capacitance of the cable and of all capacitors must not exceed
10 nF in Ex applications.
Ta
ke 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.
