Safety information
Please read this manual carefully, and also
take note of country-specific installation
standards (e.g. the VDE regulations in Germany) as well as all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules.
For safety and warranty reasons, any internal
work on the instruments, apart from that
involved in normal installation and electrical
connection, must be carried out only by
qualified VEGA personnel.

Product description
1 Product description
1.1 Function and configuration
D98 pressure transmitters are efficient modular instruments for pressure and level measurement. A dry ceramic-capacitive CERTEC
measuring cell is used as the pressure sensor element.

3)
According to IEC 770, Punkt 6.3.2 related to the nominal range
4)
The use of a properly fitting cable seal in the cable connection is necessary for maintaining the housing
protection IP 66. If the seal used does not fit the cable, it should be replaced by a suitable one.
