6 VEGABOX 01
VEGABOX 01 is a breather housing for pressure transmitters
with connection cable with integrated capillary cable. Itis
particularly suitable for the following VEGA pressure transmitters:
l VEGAWELL 72 4 … 20 mA
l VEGAWELL 72 4 … 20 mA/HART
l VEGABAR 74 4 … 20 mA/HART
l VEGABAR 75 4 … 20 mA/HART
The connection cable of the sensor as well as the power
supply cable are connected to the VEGABOX 01. Connection
is carried out via screw terminals.

3.3 Storage and transport
Product description
Packaging
Storage and transport tem-
perature
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 environ-
ment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE
foam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material
via specialised recycling companies.
l Storage and transport temperature see "Supplement -
Technical data - Ambient conditions"
l Relative humidity 20 … 85 %

4.1 General instructions
Installation position
Moisture
Mounting versions
VEGABOX 01 can be mounted in any position. However,
vertical mounting is recommended. This avoids pollution of the
breather facility and moisture penetration.
Note:
There must be the same atmospheric pressure on the breather
facility as well as on the measurement loop. Otherwise the
measured value can be adulterated.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to
power supply") and tighten the cable gland.
4.2 Mounting instructions
VEGABOX 01 can be mounted as follows:
l on carrier rail 35x7.5 according to EN 50022
l on mounting plate or on the wall

5.1 Preparing the connection
Note safety instructions
Take note of safety
instructions for Ex
applications
Selecting connection cable
Generally note the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the
sensors and power supply units.
VEGABOX 01 or VEGADIS 12 is connected with standard two-
wire cable without screen. An outer cable diameter of 5 … 9 mm
ensures the seal effect of the cable entry. If electromagnetic
interference is expected which is above the test values of
EN 61326 for industrial areas, we recommend the use of
screened cable.

Select connection
cable for Ex applications
Cable screening and grounding
Cable screen and grounding
for Ex applications
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications.
If screened cable is necessary, connect the cable screen on
both ends to ground potential. In the VEGABOX 01 or
VEGADIS 12, 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, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation
currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against
high frequency interference signals remains.
In Ex applications, grounding on one sensor side is recommended, see EN 60079-14.
5.2 Connection procedure
Proceed as follows:
1 Unscrew the housing cover
2 Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
3 Remove approx. 10 cm of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm insulation from the individual wires
4 Insert the cable into VEGABOX 01 through the cable entry
5 Loosen the screw terminals with a screwdriver
6 Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to
the wiring plan
7 Tighten screw terminals again
8 Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly
pulling on them
9 Connect the screen to the ground terminal
10 Connect the ground terminal outside on the housing
according to specification (low impedance)
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 finished.
