3.2 Principle of operation

Area of application
Functional principle
VEGADIF 55 is a differential pressure transmitter for measurement ofow, level or dierential 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 lling oil to the resistance measuring bridge (semi-conductor technology). The dier­ential-pressure dependent change of the bridge voltage is measured, further processed and converted into a corresponding output signal.
The conguration of the measuring cell diers 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 "Operating elements" and "Position adjustment".
You nd general recommendations for wiring of eective pressure lines in DIN 19210 "Eective pressure lines for ow systems" or the corresponding national or international standards. When wiring eective pressure lines outdoors, keep in mind to use a suitable antifreeze, e.g. by using tube heat tracing. Wire eective pressure lines with a monotonic decrease of at least 10 %.
Using a three-fold or ve-fold valve block ensures easy setup, mounting and maintenance without interrupting the process.

Instruments for oxygen applications should be unpacked just before mounting. After removing the protective cover of the process tting, the label "O" will be visible on the process tting. Penetration of oil, grease and dirt should be avoided. Danger of explosion!
Moisture
Flow measurement in
gases
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power supply") and tighten the cable gland.
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.

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 lling oil in the capillaries is thus avoided.
When mounting the pressure transmitter above the lower isolating diaphragm, the max. dierence in height H1 must not be exceeded according to the following illustrations. The max. dierence in height depends on the density of the lling oil and the smallest pressure which can occur on the plus side of teh isolating diaphragm (empty vessel), see following illustration.

5.1 Preparing the connection

Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage l If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed.
Ti
p:
We recommend using VEGA overvoltage arresters B63-48 and ÜSB 62-36G.X.
In
hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate regulations, conformity and type approval certicates of the sensors and power supply units.
Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire cable. The voltage supply range can dier depending on the instrument version.
Data for power supply is specied in chapter "Technical data".
Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the mains
circuits according to DIN VDE 0106 part 101. The VEGA power supply units VEGATRENN 149AEx, VEGASTAB 690, VEGADIS 371 as well as all VEGAMETs meet this requirement.
Bear in mind the following factors regarding supply voltage:
l Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under
nominal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault message)
The instrument is connected with standard, twisted and screened two­wire cable with round cross section. An outer cable diameter of 5 ... 9 mm (0.2 ... 0.35 in) ensures the seal eect of the cable gland.
Cable screening and grounding

signal
Without interrupting the measurement you can tap a 4 … 20 mA test signal via the plug and test terminal. By simply switching the bridges, you can lower the min. supply voltage of the measuring instrument. Through this it also possible to operate the instrument with a weaker voltage source. To keep the measurement error below 0.1 %, the current meter should show an inner resistance of < 0.7 Ω. Take note of the bridge position according to the following illustrations.

Do not change battery of the handheld in hazardous areas. For instruments with FM or CSA certicate, carry out the electrical connection according to the installation attached in the certicate.

6.9 Lock/Unlock adjustment

After entering all parameters, you can protect your settings against unauthorised access. You have the following possibilities to lock/ unlock the adjustment:
l via the DIP switch on the electronics module, on site on the
instrument
l via the local indication (optional) l Via a HART handheld
The locking of the adjustment is marked on the local indication with the key symbol. Parameters refering to the presentation such as e.g. language and contrast indication can be still modied.
Note:
the adjustment is locked via the DIP switch, the locking can be ony
If released via the DIP switch.
If the adjustment is locked via the local indication or remote

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 gauge pressure" and "E727 pressure transmitter overdriven" are outputted.
Messages E727, E115 and E120 are message types "Error" and can be congured 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.

7.4 Position correction

Due to the installation position of the instrument, the measured value can be shifted, i.e. the measured value does not show zero with empty vessel. Three dierent possibilities for a position adjustment are oered (menu path: ("GROUP SELECTION - OPERATING MENU -
SETTINGS - POSITION ADJUSTMENT").

Description
Input position adjustment - the pressure dierence betwen zero (set value) and measured pressure must not be known (there is a reference pressure on the instrument).
Example:
l MEASURED VALUE = 2.2 mbar l You correct the MEASURED VALUE via the parameter
POS. ZERO ADJUST with the option "Conrm", i.e. you assign the value 0 to the existing pressure
l MEASURED VALUE (after pos. zero adjust) = 0 mbar l The current value is also corrected l Default setting 0

requested set value for the MEASURED VALUE, e.g.
2 mbar (valid: MEASURED VALUEnew = POS. INPUT VALUE)
l MEASURED VALUE (after pos. zero adjust) = 2 mbar l The parameter CALIB. OFFSET shows the resulting
pressure dierence (oset) by which the MEASURED VALUE was corrected. This applies: CALIB. OFFSET = MEASURED VALUEold - POSITION POS. INPUT VALUE, here: CALIB. OFFSET = 0.5 mbar -2 mbar =

l The current value is also corrected l Default setting 0
Input position adjustment - the pressure dierence between zero (set value) and measured pressure is known (there is a reference pressure on the instrument).
Example:
l MEASURED VALUE = 2.2 mbar l Via the parameter CALIB. OFFSET you enter the value by
which the MEASURED VALUE should be corrected. To correct the MEASURED VALUE to 0 mbar, you have to enter the value 2.2 (valid: MEASURED VALUEnew = MEASURED VALUEold - CALIB. OFFSET)

Information on ow measurement
Quick setup menu for mode ow
mode "Flow", the instrument determines a volume or ow value out
In of the measured dierential pressure. The dierential pressure is generated by means of eective pressure transmitters such as e.g. impact pressure probes or orices and depends on the volume or ow.
Four ow modes are available; volume ow, standard volume ow (European standards), standard volume ow (American standards) and ow.
The VEGADIF 55 software is also equipped with two sum counters. The sum counters sum up the volume or ow. For both sum counters,
the counting function and unit can be adjusted separately. The rst 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 ow and cannot be reset.
Informa
tion:
A Quick Setup menu is available for the modes pressure, level and
ow leading you through the most important basic functions. With the setting in the parameter MEASURING MODE you determine which
Quick Setup menu is displayed, see also chapter "Select language and mode".

5 Carry out adjustment, see end of chapter "Level measurement"
A quick setup menu is available for the modes ow, 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 dierent 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 Easy Pressure" 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 t 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-specic 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 mode "Level Easy Height" or "Level Easy Pressure" was selected

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 rst measure to be taken is to check the output signal. In many cases, the causes can be determined this way and the faults rectied.
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 oer 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.
