1 Product description
Product description
1.1 Function and configuration
The pressure transmitters D76 and D77 are
efficient, modular instruments for hydrostatic
level measurement. A dry, metallic-capacitive
cell or the dry, ceramic-capacitive measuring
cell CERTEC
element.
The hydrostatic pressure of the product
causes a capacitance change via the metallic
or ceramic diaphragm. This capacitance
change is detected by an ASIC (Application
specific integrated circuit) and converted by
the integrated sensor electronics into a pressure-proportional signal. Precise, high-resolution digital processing of measured data
ensures excellent technical data.
The sensor is powered by a separate VEGA
signal conditioning instrument, a stabilised
power supply unit or a PLC (active). After
adjustment, a standardised 4 … 20 mA current signal is available.
To improve reliability, the functionality of important electronic components is constantly
checked, and internal parameters such as
sensor value, temperature and operating
voltage are closely monitored.
Output signal
An analogue level or pressure-proportional
signal current is used as output signal:
- 5 … 19 mA not standardised (in conjunction with VEGA signal conditioning instrument)
- 4 … 20 mA standardised
®
is used as pressure sensor
Adjustment
The sensors are available with or without
integrated adjustment functions:
- without adjustment (version A, adjustment
via signal conditioning instrument)
- without adjustment (version C)
- with integrated adjustment (version D)
- with adjustment from external indicating
instrument (version E)

3.1 Mounting instructions
Cable entry
The pressure transmitters can be mounted in
any position. Cable entries must point downwards to avoid moisture ingress. For this
purpose, the housing can be rotated by 330°
in relation to the mounting part.
A seal, appropriate for connection, must be
used for mounting. This seal is either supplied with the pressure transmitter or must be
provided by the customer.
3.2 Compensation of the atmospheric pressure
On instruments for gauge pressure measurement, the atmospheric pressure is compensated in different ways, depending on the
pressure transmitter version.

4 Electrical connection
Electrical connection
4.1 Connection instructions
The electronics in the pressure transmitter
requires a supply voltage of 12 … 36 V DC. It
is provided by two-wire technology, i.e. supply voltage and measuring signal are transmitted via the same two-wire connection
cable.
The supply voltage is provided via a power
supply unit, e.g.:
- power supply unit VEGASTAB 690
- processing unit with integrated DC current
source (e.g. active PLC input)
- VEGAMET, VEGALOG or VEGADIS 371
Make sure that the supply voltage is reliably
separated from the mains circuits acc. to DIN
VDE 0106, part 101. VEGA instruments meet
this requirement and protection class III is
therefore ensured.
The terminal voltage on the transmitter depends on the following factors:
- output voltage U
under nominal load.
- electrical resistance of the connected instruments in the circuit.
Note the following instructions for electrical
connection:
- Connection must be made according to the
specific installation standards (e.g. in Germany acc. to the VDE regulations).
- Terminal voltage must not exceed 36 V, to
avoid damage to the electronics.
- Electrical connection must have a preventative measure against inadvertent
polarity reversal.
- The pressure transmitter can be connected
with standard two-wire cable.
- Screened cable is recommended, if strong
electromagnetic interference is to be expected. The screening must be grounded
at both ends. Please note the installation
regulations for mounting in Ex areas.
of the power supply
H
- If overvoltages are expected, we recommend pressure transmitters with integrated
overvoltage arrester or the installation of
VEGA overvoltage arresters.
- In the cable connection, a seal must be
used which fits the cable.
Safety information for Ex applications
As a rule, do all work in the complete absence of line voltage. Always switch off the
power supply before you carry out connecting work on the sensors. Protect yourself and
the instruments.
Qualified personnel
Instruments which are operated in Ex areas,
must be connected only by qualified personnel. The qualified personnel must observe
and understand the installation regulations
and the attached type approval and conformity certificates.
In hazardous areas, the required regulations
and conformity and type approval certificates
of the sensors and separators or safety
barriers must be observed (e.g. DIN VDE
0165). Sensors used in Ex areas must be
operated only on intrinsically safe circuits.
The permissible electrical values are stated in
the type approval or conformity certificate.
Intrinsically safe circuits with more than one
active instrument (delivering electrical en-
14Pressure transmitters D76 and D77
Electrical connection
ergy) must not connected in series. The
special installation regulations (DIN VDE
0165) must be observed.
Pressure transmitters in certain versions are
equipped with a warning label, informing of
measures to be taken to avoid electrostatic
discharge. Keep the contents of the warning
label in mind.
Connection cable
Make sure that the connection cable is specified for the expected operating temperatures
in your systems. The cable must have an
outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm. Otherwise the
seal effect of the cable connection will not be
ensured.
Cables for intrinsically safe circuits must be
marked with a blue colour and must not be
used for other circuits.

Procedure
• Select the required function with the rotary
switch.
• With the "+“ and "–“ key you modify the
signal current to the required values or set
the suitable integration time.
• Then, you set the rotary switch to position
"OPERATE“. The set values are transferred
to the EEPROM memory and remain there
even in case of voltage failure.
Adjustment
For adjustment of zero and span, first of all
connect terminals 1 and 3 to an ammeter. The
measured value is identical to the output
current.
First of all adjust zero (empty vessel)
• Set the rotary switch to "zero“. Empty the
vessel.
• Adjust a current of 4 mA by pushing the "+“
and "–“ keys.
The adjustment range of zero can be between -20 % and +95 % of the nominal measuring range.

With the rotary switch you can select four
switch positions:
S - Span (pressure measuring range)
Z - Zero (zero adjustment)
ti - Time (integration time)
Op - Operate (operating status)
18Pressure transmitters D76 and D77
Setup
Adjustment information:
- A modification of zero does not influence
the adjusted span.
- It is also possible to adjust currents for
partial fillings, e.g. 8 mA for 25 % and
16 mA for 75 %. Then the electronics automatically calculates the current values for
0 % and 100 % (only possible with a difference ³ 3.3 %).
- If the current values react to the key pressing with a time delay, there can be two
reasons:
- the last adjustment was carried out with a
level deviating considerably from the
actual level.
Integration time
For damping level fluctuations, an integration
time ti of 0 … 10 sec. can be adjusted.
Adjust integration time
• Set rotary switch to "ti“.
• By pressing the "-“ key 10 times make sure
that the integration time is set to 0 sec.
• Per 1 sec. requested integration time, the
"+“ key has to be pushed once.
The integration time is the time required by
the current output signal to reach 90 % of the
actual level after a sudden change of the
level.

6 Diagnostics
Diagnostics
6.1 Maintenance
Pressure transmitters D76 and D77 are maintenance-free.
6.2 Failure rectification
Due to continuous self-monitoring, series D70
pressure transmitters offer maximum reliability. However, should failures occur, check the
following before removing the pressure
transmitter:
- the atmospheric pressure compensation,
- the electrical connections.
Checking atmospheric pressure compensation
First open the cover of the housing, in which
the atmospheric breather facility is located.
The displayed measured value must not
change. However, if the displayed value
changes, compensation of the atmospheric
pressure is not ensured, which will lead to
distortion of the measured value. Therefore
check:
- the breather facility on the housing
- VEGADIS 12 or VEGABOX 01
- the capillary tubes in the special cable.
Note:
There must always be the same atmospheric
pressure on the breather facility as in the
open vessel.
