3Mounting
The indication instrument is designed for front panel
mounting. The dimensions of the housing correspond to
the standard for measuring instruments 96 x 48 mm.
Procedure for installation
• provide panel cut-out
• push VEGADIS 171 A without frame from the front into
the front panel cut-out
• push the frame from the back until snap-in
• tighten screws moderately

Push the label:
• loosen the locking screws of the front frame with a
small screw driver
• remove front frame
• loosen the window with a small screw driver and
remove
• cut the required label and push into the window laterally
• insert window, plug on the front frame and push until
the lockings snap-in

5.2Input signal
The VEGADIS 171 A is standard for input signals
0/4 … 20 mA.
For other input signals the VEGADIS must be modified
acc. to the following description:
Input signal 0/1 … 5 V
• remove front pane
• R10 unsolder 100 Ohm
• R10 solder 68 K1 1 %
• R11 unsolder 0 Ohm
• R11 solder 100 K 1 %
Input signal 0/2 … 10 V
• remove front pane
• R10 unsolder 100 Ohm
• R10 solder 26 K1 1 %
• R11 unsolder 0 Ohm
• R11 solder 100 K 1 %

5.3Adjustment of the zero point and
the measuring range final value
Example: requested indication 000 … 1000
Input signals 0 … 20 mA; 0 … 5 V; 0 … 10 V
• remove front pane and front frame (see section
"Procedure to insert the label")
• set slide switch for zero point correction in position "0“
• switch on the mains
• feed the measuring signal acc. to version 0 … 20 mA or
0…5V / 10 V
- at 0 mA or 0 V measuring signal, theVEGADIS
indicates „000“
- at 20 mA or 5 / 10 V measuring signal, the VEGADIS
indicates „1000“
- the indication can be adjusted in the range of "52.0"
to "174,0" by means of potentiometer P
• adjust requested decimal point with bridge (see section
"adjustment of the decimal point")
Input signals 4 … 20 mA; 1 … 5 V; 2 … 10 V
For the adjustment of the measuring range final value
always the current or voltage difference between initial
and final value must be provided:
at 4 … 20 mA:20 mA • 4 mA = 16 mA
at 1 … 5 V:5 V – 1 V= 4 V
at 2 … 10 V:10 V – 2 V= 8 V
• remove front pane and front frame (see section
"Procedure to insert the label")
• set slide switch for zero point correction in position "0“
• switch on the mains
• acc. to the input signal (difference) provide 16 mA, 4 V
or 8 V
• adjust 100.0 by means of the potentiometer P
(measuring range final value)
• set slide switch for zero point correction in position
"Offset"
• acc. to the input signal feed initial value 4 mA, 1 V or
2V
• adjust 00.0 by means of potentiomter P0 (zero point
correction)
• adjust requested decimal point with bridge (see section
"adjustment of the decimal point")

"Procedure to insert the label")
• switch on the mains
• feed the measuring signal acc. to version 20 mA or
5 V / 10 V
• set slide switch for zero point correction in position "0"
• adjust "80.0" by means of the potentiometer P
(measuring range final value)
• acc. to the input signal feed initial value 0 V or 0 mA
• set slide switch for zero point correction in position
"Offset"
• adjust "10.0" by means of potentiometer P0.
Input signals 4 … 20 mA; 1 … 5 V; 2 … 10 V
• remove front pane and front frame (see section
"Procedure to insert the label")
• switch on the mains
• feed the measuring signal (difference) acc. to
version16 mA, 4 V or 8 V
• set slide switch for zero point connection in position "0"
• adjust "80.0" by means of the potentiometer P
(measuring range final value)
• acc. to the input signal feed initial value 4 mA, 1 V or
2V
• set slide switch for zero point correction in position
"Offset"
• adjust "10.0" by means of potentiometer P0.

Adjustment of the decimal point
The decimal point can be adjusted by means of a bridge
(in the example 1000).
