3.2 Principle of operation
Area of application
Functional principle
VEGADIF 55 is a differential pressure transmitter for measurement of
flow, level or differential pressure. Measured products are gases,
vapours and liquids.
The sensor element is a metallic measuring cell. The process pressure
is transmitted via the separating diaphragm and filling oil to the
resistance measuring bridge (semi-conductor technology). The differential-pressure dependent change of the bridge voltage is measured,
further processed and converted into a corresponding output signal.
The configuration of the measuring cell differs depending on the
measuring range:

Due to the installation position of VEGADIF 55, a zero point shifting
can be caused, i.e. the measured values is not zero with empty vessel.
You can correct this zero point shoft either directly on the instrument
via the "E" key or the remote adjustment, see chapter "Operatingelements" and "Position adjustment".
You find general recommendations for wiring of effective pressure
lines in DIN 19210 "Effective pressure lines for flow systems" or the
corresponding national or international standards. When wiring
effective pressure lines outdoors, keep in mind to use a suitable
antifreeze, e.g. by using tube heat tracing. Wire effective pressure
lines with a monotonic decrease of at least 10 %.
Using a three-fold or five-fold valve block ensures easy setup,
mounting and maintenance without interrupting the process.

You can give your VEGADIF 55 additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. 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.

l Reme
mber that due to the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid
columns in the capillaries, a zero point shift can occur. The zero

l Keep the application limits of the isolating diaphragm filling oil in
mind according to the Product Information manual VEGADIF 55,
"Planning instructions isolating diaphragms"
Capillaries
To achieve more precise measuring results and avoid instrument
malfunctions, the capillaries must be mounted as follows:
l Not close to heating or cooling lines
l Insulate them in cooler or warmer environment
l Lay wire with a bend radius ≥ 100 mm
l With isolating diaphragms on both sides, the ambient temperature
and length of both capillaries should be the same
l Always two identical isolating diaphragms (e.g. diameter, material
etc.) should be used for the minus and plus side (standard
shipment)

Vacu
In applications under vacuum, we recommend mounting the pressure
transmitter below the lower isolating diaphragm. A vacuum load on the
isolating diaphragm due to the filling oil in the capillaries is thus
avoided.
When mounting the pressure transmitter above the lower isolating
diaphragm, the max. difference in height H1 must not be exceeded
according to the following illustrations. The max. difference in height
depends on the density of the filling oil and the smallest pressure
which can occur on the plus side of teh isolating diaphragm (empty
vessel), see following illustration.

7.1 Warning instructions
Warning:
If there is pressure acting on the instrument that is less than the
permissible min. pressure, the messages "E120 sensor low pressure"
and "E727 pressure transmitter overdriven" are outputted.
If there is pressure acting on the instrument that is higher than the
permissible max. pressure, the messages "E115 sensor gaugepressure" and "E727 pressure transmitter overdriven" are outputted.
Messages E727, E115 and E120 are message types "Error" and can
be configured as "Warning" or "Alarm". As a default setting, these
messages are set to "Warning". This setting avoids that in applications
(e.g. cascade measurement) where overdriving of the sensor
measuring range is consciously accepted, the current output takes on
the set alarm current value.
In the following cases, we recommend setting the messages E727,
E115 and E120 to "Alarm":
For the application, it is not necessary to overdrive the sensor range.
A position adjustment should be carried out which must correct a large
deviation of the measuring range due to the installation position of the
instrument (e.g. instruments with isolating diaphragm).
7.2 Installation and function control
Before you set up the instrument, carry out the installation and
connection control according to checklist.

of the measured differential pressure. The differential pressure is
generated by means of effective pressure transmitters such as e.g.
impact pressure probes or orifices and depends on the volume or flow.
Four flow modes are available; volume flow, standard volume flow
(European standards), standard volume flow (American standards)
and flow.
The VEGADIF 55 software is also equipped with two sum counters.
The sum counters sum up the volume or flow. For both sum counters,
the counting function and unit can be adjusted separately. The first
sum counter (sum counter 1) can be reset to zero at any time whereas
the second (sum counter 2) sums up from the setup to the flow and
cannot be reset.

5 Carry out adjustment, see end of chapter "Level measurement"
A quick setup menu is available for the modes flow, level and
pressure, leading you through the most important basic functions.
For level measurement, the three level modes are also available "Level
Easy Pressure", "Level Easy Height" and "Level Standard". For the
level mode "Level Standard" you can choose between the level types
"Linear", "Pressure linearized" and "Height linearized". The chart in the
following chapter "Overview level measurement" gives an overview of
the different applications.
With the level modes "Level Easy Pressure" and "Level Easy Height"
the entered vaues are subjected to a lower scope of tests than with the
level mode "Level Standard". For the level modes "Level EasyPressure" and "Level Easy Height" a min. distance of 1 % must be
maintained for the entered values for EMPTY CALIB./FULL CALIB.,
EMPTY PRESSURE/FULL PRESSURE, EMPTY HEIGHT/FULL
HEIGHT and SET LRV/SET URV. If the values are too close together,
the values will be denied with a message. Further limit values are not
checked, i.e. the entered parameters must fit the sensor and
application so that the measuring instrument can carry out a correct
measurement.
The level modes "Level Easy Pressure" and "Level Easy Height"
comprise less parameters than the mode "Level Standard" and is used
for quick and easy parameter adjustment of a level application.
Customer-specific level, volume and measuring units or a linearisation
chart can be only entered with level mode "Level Standard".
If the instrument should be used as part system in a safety function
(SIL), an "Instrument parameter adjustment with increased parameter
adjustment reliability" (group SAFETY CONFIRM) for mode "Level" is
only possible for the mode "Level Easy Pressure". After adjustment of
a password, all previously entered parameters are checked. If the

8.1 Maintenance
When used in the correct way, no special maintenance is required in
normal operation.
Outside cleaning
When cleaning the instrument, take note of the following:
l The cleaning agent must not corrode the surfaces and seals
l Mechanical damage to the diaphragm, e.g. by sharp objects, must
be avoided
8.2 Remove interferences
The operator of the system is responsible for taken suitable measures
to remove interferences.
A maximum of reliability is ensured. Nevertheless, faults can occur
during operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:
l Sensor
l Process
l Voltage supply
l Signal processing
The first measure to be taken is to check the output signal. In many
cases, the causes can be determined this way and the faults rectified.
However, should these measures not be successful, call the VEGA
service hotline in urgent cases under the phone no. +49 1805 858550.
The hotline is available to you 7 days a week round-the-clock. Since
we offer 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.
Behaviour of the outputs
Reaction after fault rec-
tification
The behaviour of the outputs as well as error messages via the local
indication are available in the supplementary instructions "Service
instructions for VEGADIF 55".
Depending on the failure reason and measures taken, the steps
described in chapter "Set up" must be carried out again, if necessary.
8.3 Replacement parts
Information to the replacement parts is available in the supplementary
instructions manual "Service instructions for VEGADIF 55".
