Product description
Output signal
The output signal is transferred as a digital or
analogue signal from the pressure transmitter
to the signal conditioning instrument:
• analogue output signal
- unstandardised (in conjunction with
VEGA signal conditioning instrument)
- 4 … 20 mA standardised
• digital output signal (VBUS) for connection
to a digital VEGA signal conditioning instrument (VEGAMET 514V, 515V or VEGALOG
571)
The pressure effects a capacitance change
on the measuring cell. This capacitance
change is detected by an ASIC (Application
Specific Integrated Circuit) and converted
into a pressure-proportional signal by the
integrated electronic module with
microcontroller. Precise, high-resolution digital processing of measurement data ensures
excellent technical data.
To improve reliability, the functionality of important electronic components is continuously checked, and internal parameters such
as sensor value, temperature and operating
voltage are closely monitored.

2 Mounting
Mounting
2.1 Mounting instructions
The pressure transmitter 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.
2.2 Compensation of the atmospheric pressure
On instruments for gauge pressure measurement, the atmospheric pressure is compensated via a breather facility integrated in
the housing.
Pressure transmitter with direct cable
outlet
- via the capillaries of a special cable con-
nected to the terminals, protection IP 68
We recommend leading the special cable into
the external connection housing VEGABOX
01 (accessory) and carrying out the pressure compensation via the integrated
breather facility there.
External connection housing
Observe the following instructions:
- as a rule, there must be the same atmos-
pheric pressure on the breather facility as
on the vessel
- the pressure compensation must be done
in a dry environment
- with vertical wall mounting, cable entries
must point downward to avoid moisture
ingress and buildup on the breather facility.
An appropriate connection seal must be
used for mounting. This seal is either supplied with the pressure transmitter or must be
provided by the customer.

3 Electrical connection
3.1 Connection instructions
The electronics in the pressure transmitter
requires a supply voltage of 12 … 32 V DC. It
is designed in two-wire technology, i.e. the
supply voltage and the digital output signal
are led via the same two-wire cable to the
terminals.
This external energy is provided via a separate power supply unit, e.g.:
- power supply unit VEGASTAB 690
- processing unit with integrated DC voltage
source (e.g. active PLC input)
- VEGAMET, VEGALOG or VEGADIS 371
Make sure that the external energy source is
reliably separated from the mains circuits
acc. to DIN VDE 0106, part 101. The abovementioned VEGA devices meet this requirement and protection class III is therefore
guaranteed.
The external energy source must provide a
terminal voltage of at least 12 V on the transmitter. The actual terminal voltage on the
transmitter depends on the following factors:
- output voltage UH of the external energy
source under nominal load.
- electrical resistance of the connected instruments in the circuit (see connected
instruments, load resistance).
Note the following instructions for electrical
connection:
- Connection must be made according to the
country-specific installation standards (e.g.
in Germany acc. to the VDE regulations).
- The terminal voltage must not exceed 36 V,
to avoid damage to the electronics.
- The electrical connection must have a protective measure against polarity reversal.
- Connection of Ex sensors only by qualified
personnel.
- The wiring between pressure transmitter
and power supply can be made with
standard two-wire cable.
- If strong electromagnetic interference is
expected, screened cable is recommended. The screening must be done on
both ends. Note the installation regulations
for use in Ex areas.
- In case of overvoltages, we recommend
the use of pressure transmitters with integrated overvoltage protection or the installation of VEGA overvoltage arresters.
- In the cable entry, a seal correctly fitting the
cable should be used.
Safety information for Ex applications
As a rule, do all connecting 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 used in Ex areas must be installed only by qualified personnel. The qualified personnel must observe and understand
the mounting regulations and the supplied
type approval certificates and conformity
certificates.
If an instrument is used in hazardous areas,
the respective regulations, conformity certificates and type approvals of the sensors,
separators or safety barriers must be noted
(e.g. DIN VDE 0165).
Pressure transmitters D86/D8717
Electrical connection
Sensors used in Ex areas must be connected only to intrinsically safe circuits. The
permissible electrical values are stated in the
conformity certificate or the type approval
certificate.
Intrinsically safe circuits with more than one
active instrument (instrument delivering electrical energy) are not allowed. Please note the
special installation regulations (DIN VDE
0165).
Certain pressure transmitters are provided
with a warning label informing of measures to
be taken to avoid the danger of electrostatic
discharge. Note the content of the warning
label.

4.1 Adjustment structure
The hydrostatic pressure transmitters come
with or without adjustment capability.
After connection to the supply voltage, the
electronics carries out a self-test (approx.
2 sec.) and the current in this signal circuit
(sensors with analogue output signal) takes
on a value of > 21.6 mA.
Sensors with adjustment
(electronics version A and C)
Sensors with electronics version A deliver a
pressure-proportional current as measured
value and are not adjustable. All settings
such as adjustment, density correction etc.
are carried out via the signal conditioning
instrument. The sensors with electronics
version C come preadjusted according to the
measuring range of the sensor (factory setting). In unpressurised condition, they consume a current of 4 mA. With a pressure at
the measuring range final value, they consume a current of 20 mA.
Sensors with adjustment insert in the
sensor (electronics version K)
The adjustment insert with selection switch
allows:
- zero adjustment
"z" = empty adjustment
- span adjustment
"s" = full adjustment
- adjustment of an integration time (time) "ti"
Adjustment in external connection housing VEGADIS 12 (electronics version L)
The adjustment insert with selection switch
(VEGADIS 12 with display) allows:
- zero adjustment
- span adjustment
- adjustment of an integration time (time)
- adjustment of a value for zero point
(empty)
- adjustment of a value for span (full)
- adjustment of the decimal point for the
displayed value
Adjustment with HART® handheld
(electronics version I, K and L)
The hydrostatic pressure transmitters with
electronics version I, K and L can be adjusted with the HART® handheld like other
HART® capable instruments. A manufacturer
specific DD (Device Description) is not necessary. The sensors work with the HART
standard menus.
Adjustment of VEGA signal conditioning
instrument VEGAMET (electronics version
A and B)
Electronics version A delivers a non-standardised output signal to a VEGAMET with
analogue input.
Electronics version B transfers the measured
value digitally (VBUS) to a digital VEGAMET
(514V, 515V, 614V).
The signal conditioning instrument itself, as
well as the pressure transmitter, can be operated by means of the standard six-key adjustment field (with clear dialogue text
display) on the signal conditioning instrument.

With the adjustment program VVO (VEGA
Visual Operating) on the PC you can conveniently adjust the pressure transmitters with
electronics version B, I, K and L. The PC
communicates with the sensor through the
interface converter VEGACONNECT 2 or the
standard RS 232 interface cable. A digital
adjustment signal is superimposed on the
signal and supply cable. The adjustment can
be carried out from any location on the signal
cable, on the sensor directly, on the signal
conditioning instrument or on the VEGALOG
processing system.

Adjustment
For adjustment of zero and span, an ammeter must be connected to terminals 1 and 3.
The measured value is identical to the output
current.
1 Adjustment of zero
(e.g. empty vessel)
• Set rotary switch to zero.
• By pushing the "+" and "–" keys simultane-
ously, the current jumps directly to 4 mA or
you can adjust a current of 4 mA with the
"+" and "–" keys.
Note:
- A modification of zero does not influence
the span, i.e. the measuring range final
value is simply shifted.
- It is also possible to adjust currents for
partial fillings or partial pressures, e.g.
8 mA for 25 % and 16 mA for 75 %.The
pressure transmitter then automatically
calculates the values for 0 % or 100 %
(only possible with a level difference
>3.3 %).
Integration time
An integration time ti of 0 … 10 s can be adjusted to damp pressure shocks.
Procedure
• Set rotary switch to ti.
• By pushing the "-" 10 times, make sure that
the integration time is set to 0 s.
• For each 1 s desired integration time, the
"+" key has to be pushed once.
Adjustment range of zero:
-20 % … +95 % of nominal measuring range
(corresponds to a turn up of up to +95 %)
2 Adjustment of span
(e.g. level at maximum)
• Set rotary switch to span.
• By pushing the "+" and "–" keys simultane-
ously, the current jumps directly to 20 mA
or you can adjust a current of
20 mA with the "+" and "–" keys.
Adjustment range of span:
3.3 % … 120 % of nominal measuring range
(corresponds to a turn down 1 : 30)

4.4 Setup with HART® handheld
Sensors with electronics versions I, K and L
can be set up with the HART® handheld. A
special DD (Data Device Description) is not
necessary. Just connect the HART® handheld
to the sensor signal cable after you have
connected the sensor to supply voltage.
250
W
Note:
If the resistance of the voltage supply is less
than 250 W, a resistor must be looped into the
signal/connection cable during adjustment.
The digital adjustment and communication
signals would otherwise be short-circuited
through insufficient resistance of e.g. the
supply voltage source or the processing
system. In such case, communication with
the sensor would not be ensured. Simply
connect the adjustment resistor in parallel to
the connection socket of the HART

Maintenance
The pressure transmitters D86/D87 are maintenance free.
Should dismounting of the pressure transmitter (e.g. for vessel cleaning) be necessary,
we recommend the use of new seals. Use
only original seals from VEGA.
Remedying faults
Through continuous self-monitoring, series 80
pressure transmitters offer maximum reliability. However, if faults occur, please check the
following before removing the pressure
transmitter:
- the atmospheric pressure compensation
(only with gauge pressure measuring
ranges),
- the electrical connections.
Checking atmospheric pressure compensation
First of all, open the cover of the housing in
which the atmospheric breather facility 1) is
located. The displayed measured value must
not change. If, however, the displayed value
changes, the compensation of the atmospheric pressure does not function correctly
and the measured value will be distorted.
Therefore check:
- the breather facility on the housing
- the external connection housing
VEGADIS 12
- the capillaries in the special housing.
Note:
The same atmospheric pressure must be
acting on the breather facility and the open
vessel.

Checking the voltage
- The terminal voltage on the pressure transmitter must be at least 12 V DC.
- The terminal voltage on VEGADIS 12 must
be at least 12 V DC or 17 V DC (with display).
- The supply voltage for the pressure transmitter through a VEGAMET signal conditioning instrument must be approx.
18 V DC (on VBUS 25 V DC).
Checking the current
These values are only valid for pressure
transmitters with analogue signal transmission, not for pressure transmitters with digital
output signal (VBUS).
• Initial current with uncovered diaphragm of
the pressure transmitter: approx. 4 mA
(5 mA when operated on a VEGA signal
conditioning instrument)
• Measuring current during operation:
4 … 20 mA (5 … 19 mA when operated on
a VEGA signal conditioning instrument)
• Exceeding or falling short of the specified
measuring range: 20.5 mA or 3.8 mA
• Pressure transmitter defective or shortcircuit: current 22 mA or 3.6 mA
