3.2 Principle of operation
VEGABAR 64 is a pressure transmitter for use in the paper, food
processing and pharmaceutical industries as well as in water/sewage
water plants. Depending on the version, it is used for level, gauge,
absolute pressure or vacuum measurement. Measured products are
gases, vapours and liquids, also those containing abrasive substances.
The sensor element is the CERTEC
abrasion resistant ceramic diaphragm. The hydrostatic pressure of the
medium or the process pressure causes a capacitance change in the
measuring cell via the diaphragm. This change is converted into an
appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.
The CERTEC
sensor. The temperature value can be displayed via the indicating and
adjustment module or processed via the signal output.
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:

supply

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.
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.

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 withround 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.

6.4 Setup procedur
e
VEGABAR 64 can be used for level as well as for process pressure
measurement. Default setting is level measurement. The mode can be
changed in the adjustment menu.
Depending on the application only the respective subchapter "Level or
process pressure measurement" is of importance. There, you find the
individual adjustment steps.
Level measurement
Set up VEGABAR 64 in the following sequence:
1 Selecting adjustment unit/density unit
2 Carry out position correction
3 Carrying out min. adjustment
4 Carrying out max. adjustment
In the menu item "Adjustment unit" you select the physical unit in which
the adjustment should be carried out, e.g. mbar, bar, psi…
The position correction compensates the influence of the mounting
position or static pressure on the measurement. It does not influence
the adjustment values.
Information:
The
steps 1, 3 and 4 are not necessary for instruments which are
already preset according to customer specifications!
You can find the data on the type label on the instrument or in the
menu items of the min./max. adjustment.
The indicating and adjustment module enables the adjustmetn without
filling or pressure. Thanks to this, you can carry out your settings
already in the factory without the instrument having to be installed.
The actual measured value is also displayed in the menu items for
min./max. adjustment.

The operator of the system is responsible for taken suitable measures
to remove interferences.
A maximum of reliability is ensured. Nevertheless, faults can occur
during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
l Sensor
l Process
l Power supply
l Signal processing
The first measures to be taken are to check the output signals as well
as to evaluate the error messages via the indicating and adjustment
module. The procedure is described below. Further comprehensive
diagnostics can be carried out on a PC with the software PACTware
and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the causes can be determined
in this way and faults can be rectified.

In case of a defect, the electronics module can be exchanged by the
user against an identical type. If no electronics module is available on
side, the module can be ordered for the VEGA agency serving you.
Ordering and exchange are possible with or without sensor serial
number. The electronics module with serial number includes order-specific data such as factory setting, seal material etc. These are not
included in the electronics module without serial number.
The serial number is stated on the type label of VEGABAR 64 or on the

Connect the sensor to power supply and provide connection from PC
instrument via VEGACONNECT. Start PACTware and provide
to the
connection to the sensor, e.g. via the VEGA project assistant. Close
the parameter window of the sensor, as far as open.
Go in the PACTware menu bar to "Instrument data", "Additional
functions" and "Update instrument software".
PACTware checks now the actual hardware and software version of
the sensor and displays the data. This procedure lasts approx. 60 s.
Push the button " Update software" and select the previously
extracted hex file. Then the software update can be started. Further
files are installed automatically. Depending on the sensor, this
procedure lasts a pproximately 1 h.
8.6 I nstrument repair
If a repair is necessary, please proceed as follows:
You can download a return form (23 KB) from our Internet homepage

9.2 Disposal
The instrument consists of materials which can be recycled by
specialised recycling companies. We use recyclable materials and
have designed the electronics to be easily separable.
WEEE directive 2002/96/EG
This instrument is not subject to the WEEE directive 2002/96/EG and
the respective national laws. Pass the instrument directly on to a
specialised recycling company and do not use the municipal collecting
points. These may be used only for privately used products according
to the WEEE directive.
Correct disposal avoids negative effects to persons and environment
and ensures recycling of useful raw materials.
Materials: see chapter "Technical data"
If you have no possibility to dispose of the old instrument
professionally, please contact us concerning return and disposal.

Approvals
Depending on the version, instruments with approvals can have different technical data.
For these instruments, the corresponding approval documents have to be taken into account.
These are part of the delivery or can be downloaded under
www.vega.com via "VEGA
Tools" and
"serial number search" as well as via "Downloads" and "Approvals".
17)
Instruments with gauge pressure measuring ranges cannot detect the ambient pressure when submerged, e.g. in water. This can lead to falsification
of the measured value.
18)
Only with instruments with absolute pressure ranges.
