3.2 Principle of operation

The VEGABAR 66 is a suspension pressure transmitter for level
measurement in wells, basins and atmospherically open vessels.

For use in atmospherically closed vessels under vacuum, the instru­ment is available with absolute pressure measuring ranges.

Sensor element is the CERTEC
ent on the process tting also front-ush, abrasion-resistant ceramic
diaphragm. The process pressure causes a capacitance change in
the measuring cell via the ceramic diaphragm. This change is con­verted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as measured
value.

The CERTEC

®

measuring cell is also equipped with a temperature
sensor. The temperature value can be displayed via the display and
adjustment module as well as processed via the signal output (with
digital versions).

As a standard feature, the CERTEC
a lateral, recessed seal.

Instruments with double seal have an additional front seal.

4.1 General instructions

Make sure that all parts of the instrument coming in direct contact
with the process, especially the sensor element, process seal and
process tting, are suitable for the existing process conditions, such
as process pressure, process temperature as well as the chemical
properties of the medium.

You can nd the specications in chapter "Technical data" and on the

compensation

Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and
connecting as well as later retrotting 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
dierent 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 o. 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.

Fig. 3: Measures against moisture penetration

The ventilation of the electronics housing as well as the atmospheric

pressure compensation for the measuring cell are realised via a lter
element in the area of the cable gland.

Caution:

Due to the lter eect, the pressure compensation is time delayed.
When opening/closing the housing cover quickly, the measured value
can change for a period of approx. 5 s by up to 15 mbar.

Information:

Make sure that the lter element is always free of buildup during
operation. A high-pressure cleaner may not be used for cleaning.

With instrument versions in protection IP 66/IP 68, 1 bar, the ventila­tion is realised via the capillaries in the permanently connected cable.
The lter element is replaced by a blind plug.

4.2 Mounting preparations

For the suspension cable version note the following points when
selecting the mounting position:

Sideways movements of the transmitter can cause measurement

•

the bus is done with appropriate terminating resistors.

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
housing. This would inuence the stability of the connection and the
tightness of the housing.

With systems with potential 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).

In systems without potential equalisation, connect the cable screen
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 eect against high frequency interference signals

remains.

The total capacitance of the cable and of all capacitors must not

exceed 10 nF in Ex applications.

Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex applica-

tions. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisation currents
ow 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.

5.2 Connection procedure

The sensor is adjusted via the four keys of the display and adjust-

ment module. The LC display indicates the individual menu items. The
functions of the individual keys are shown in the above illustration.
Approx. 10 minutes after the last pressing of a key, an automatic reset
to measured value indication is triggered. Any values not conrmed
with [OK] will not be saved.

6.4 Setup steps

Before starting the actual parameter adjustment of a Probus PA
sensor, the address setting must rst be carried out. You will nd a
detailed description in the operating instructions manual of the display
and adjustment module or in the online help of PACTware or DTM.

VEGABAR 66 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 nd
the individual adjustment steps.

Level measurement

Set up VEGABAR 66 in the following sequence:

1. Selecting adjustment unit/density unit

2. Carry out a position correction

3. Carry out min. adjustment

4. Carry 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 inuence of the mounting

position or static pressure on the measurement. It does not inuence
the adjustment values.

Information:

The steps 1, 3 and 4 are not necessary for instruments which are
already preset according to customer specications!

You can nd the data on the type label on the instrument or in the
menu items of the min./max. adjustment.

6.10 Saving the parameter adjustment data

We recommended noting the adjusted data, e.g. in this operating
instructions manual, and archiving them afterwards. They are thus
available for multiple use or service purposes.

If VEGABAR 66 is equipped with a display and adjustment module,
the most important data can be read out of the sensor into the display
and adjustment module. The procedure is described in the operating
instructions manual "Display and adjustment module" in the menu
item "Copy sensor data". The data remain there permanently even if
the sensor power supply fails.

If it is necessary to exchange the sensor, the display and adjustment
module is inserted into the replacement instrument and the data are
written into the sensor under the menu item "Copy sensor data".

7.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware

Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions
manual "DTM Collection/PACTware" attached to each CD and which
can also be downloaded from our homepage. A detailed description
is available in the online help of PACTware and the VEGA DTMs.

Note:

Keep in mind that for setup of VEGABAR 66, DTM-Collection in the
actual version must be used.

All currently available VEGA DTMs are included as a DTM Collection
on a CD. They can be purchased for a token fee from the responsible
VEGA agency. In addition, the actual PACTware version is also avail­able on this CD.

In addition, this DTM Collection incl. the basic version of PACTware
can be downloaded free of charge from the Internet. Move via www.
vega.com and "Downloads" to "Software".

7.3 Parameter adjustment with PDM

For VEGA sensors, instrument descriptions for the adjustment
program PDM are available as EDD. The instrument descriptions are
already implemented in the current version of PDM. For older versions
of PDM, a free-of-charge download is available via Internet.

Go via www.vega.com and "Downloads" to the item "Software".

7.4 Saving the parameter adjustment data

It is recommended to document or save the parameter adjustment
data. That way they are available for multiple use or service purposes.

The VEGA DTM Collection and PACTware in the licensed, profession­al version provide suitable tools for systematic project documentation
and storage.

Maintenance

8 Maintenanceandfaultrectication

8.1 Maintain

If the instrument is used properly, no special maintenance is required
in normal operation.

In some applications, product buildup on the diaphragm can inuence
the measuring result. Depending on the sensor and application, take
precautions to ensure that heavy buildup, and especially a hardening
thereof, is avoided.

Cleaning

Failure reasons

Faultrectication

24 hour service hotline

CheckingProbusPA

If necessary, clean the diaphragm. Make sure that the materials are
resistant to the cleaning process, see resistance list under "Services"
on "www.vega.com". The wide variety of applications of isolating
diaphragms makes special cleaning instructions necessary for each
application. Please ask the VEGA agency serving you.

8.2 Rectifyfaults

VEGABAR 66 oers maximum reliability. Nevertheless, faults can oc-

cur during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:

Sensor

•

Process

•

Voltage supply

•

Signal processing

•

The rst measures to be taken are to check the output signals as well

as to evaluate the error messages via the display 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
and the faults rectied this way.

Should these measures not be successful, please call in urgent cases
the VEGA service hotline under the phone no.

The hotline is available to you 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since
we oer this service world-wide, the support is only available in the
English language. The service is free of charge, only the standard
telephone costs will be charged.

The following table describes possible errors and helps to remove

them:

Approvals

Instruments with approvals can have dierent technical data depending on the version.
For that reason the associated approval documents of these instruments have to be carefully

noted. They 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".

10.2 InformationonProbusPA

Instrumentmasterle

The instrument master le (GSD) contains the characteristic data of the Probus PA instrument.
These data are, e.g. the permissible transmission rates as well as information on diagnostics values
and the format of the measured value outputted by the PA instrument.

A bitmap le is also provided for the Probus network planning tool. This le is installed automati­cally when the GSD le is integrated. The bitmap le is used for symbolic indication of the PA instru­ment in the conguration tool.

Ident number

Each Probus instrument gets an unambiguous ident number (ID number) from the Probus user
organisation (PNO). This ID number is also included in the name of the GSD le. For VEGABAR 66
the ID number is 0x076F(hex) and the GSD le BR__076F.GSD. As an option to this manufactur-
er-specic GSD le, PNO provides also a general so-called prole-specic GSD le. For VEGABAR
66 you have to use the general GSD le PA139701.GSD. If the general GSD le is used, the sensor
must be set to the prole-specic ident number via the DTM software. By default, the sensor oper­ates with the manufacturer-specic ID number.

Note:

20)

Instruments with gauge pressure measuring ranges cannot detect the ambient pressure when submerged, e.g.

in water. This can lead to falsication of the measured value.

21)

Only with instruments with absolute pressure ranges.

10 Supplement

When using the prole-specic GSD le, the PA-OUT value as well as the temperature
value are transmitted to the PLC (see block diagram "Cyclical data trac").

Cyclicaldatatrac

The master class 1 (e.g. PLC) cyclically reads out measured values from the sensor during opera­tion. The below block diagram below shows which data can be accessed by the PLC.

Module of the PA sensors

For the cyclic data trac, VEGABAR 66 provides the following modules:

AI (PA-OUT)

•

– PA-OUT value of the FB1 after scaling
Temperature

•

– PA-OUT value of the FB2 after scaling

Additional Cyclic Value

•

– Additional cyclical value (depending on the source)

Free Place

•

– This module must be used if a value should not be used in the data telegram of the cyclical

data trac (e.g. replacement of the temperature and Additional Cyclic Value)

A maximum of three modules can be active. By means of the conguration software of the Probus
master you can determine the conguration of the cyclical data telegram with these modules. The
procedure depends on the respective conguration software.
