Slide switch (1)
With the slide switch on the rear of the instrument you
can changeover between voltage measurement, active
sensor input and passive sensor input.
Ia - Active operation: The sensor is powered by
VEGADIS 371. Sensors connected in this
configuration are called passive sensors.
VEGADIS 371 reacts like a current source.
Ip - Passive operation: VEGADIS 371 is connected to
the sensor line (current input 4 … 20 mA). Sensors connected in this configuration are called
active sensors. VEGADIS 371 reacts like a
current sink.
U - VEGADIS measures the voltage 0 … 10 V
Note
The position of the switch changes also the application
conditions for Ex-instruments (VEGADIS 371 Ex).
Also note the type approval or the conformity
certificate of VEGADIS 371 Ex.

4.2 Adjustment
Stage 1
When switching on the voltage supply, the LED of the
relays shortterm light and the display indicates for
approx. 4 seconds the software version of VEGADIS
371.
The figures in brackets relate to the figure under 4.1
Indicating and adjustment elements.
Course
• Choose the requested mode with the rotating switch
(7).
• Push one of the two keys (3 or 4). The digital
indication (8) begins to flash.
• Push one of the two keys to change the value of the
digital indication appropriately. When the rotating
switch (7) is set to "OPERATE“, the keys (3 and 4)
are without function.
• You can save the adjusted value by changing the
position of the rotating switch (7).
Example
- an upright cylindrical (linear) tank with a content of
2700 l.
- the max. volume is 2650 l, the min. volume 50 l.
- the level sensor in the vessel is a pressure
transmitter (passive), providing a standardized
4 … 20 mA-signal.
- for further processing you need an additional
4 … 20 mA-output signal.
- the full and empty adjustment had been carried out
correctly. The sensor delivers the following values:
Max. volume (display max.)
20 mA = 2650 l
Min. volume (display min.)
4 mA = 50 l
- relay 1 should switch on an emptying pump at a
volume of 90 % and switch off the pump at a volume
of 10 %.
First choose the parameters of your application:
Slide switch
• loosen the cover on the rear of VEGADIS 371 with a
screwdriver. Under this cover there is a slide switch
(1) by which you can adjust the kind of input:
I
= active current input (Ia)
active
I
= passive current input (Ip)
passive
U= voltage measurement (U)
For the given example choose Ia (active current
input).
Current output
• Set the rotating switch (7) to position A. With the
keys (3 and 4) you can choose between measured
value output 4 … 20 mA or 0 … 20 mA.
For the given example choose 4 - 20.
The display indications have the following meaning:
0 - 20 = 0 … 20 mA; 4 - 20 = 4 … 20 mA
VEGADIS 371 requires for the scaling of the indication
the adjustment of the volumes for 4 mA and 20 mA.
The vessel must not be filled or emptied. Proceed as
follows to adjust the two values:
Decimal point
VEGADIS 371 requires for this example the
adjustment of the values for 4 mA and 20 mA (0 % and
100 %). As the range of the example tank is from 50 l
to 2650 l, you require all four positions of the digital
indication.
• Set the rotating switch (7) to position D (Decimal
Point).
• By pushing the keys (3 and 4) you move the
decimal point.
Scaled indication at 0 %
• Set the rotating switch (7) to position B (Display
min.).
• Push the plus key (3) to increase the indicating
value or the min. key (4) to reduce the indicating
value (0,1 %-steps).
• When you keep the key pushed, the digital
indication (8) changes the indicating value quicker.
For the given example adjust the digital indication
(8) to the value 50.
Scaled indication at 100 %
• Set the rotating switch (7) to position C (Display
max.).
• Push the plus key (3) to increase the indicating
value or the minus key (4) to reduce the indicating
value (0,1 %-steps).
• For the given example set the digital indication (8) to
the value 2650.
Relay
• Set the rotating switch (7) to position 1 (relay 1 on).
When the selected relay is not mounted, four
dashes appear on the digital indication. With the
keys (3 and 4) you can modify the value of the
indication. For the given example set the digital
indication (8) to the value 90,0 (90,0 %). Hence the
internal relay 1 switches on when this value is
reached.
VEGADIS 371 Ex11
• Set the rotating switch (7) to position 2 (relay 1 off).
With the keys (3 and 4) you can change the value of
the indication. For the given example you set the
digital indication (8) to the value 10,0 (10,0 %).
Hence the internal relay 1 switches off when this
value is decreased. The appropriate relay control
lamp (2) lights when the relay is energized. When
the switch points are too close together (< 0,1 %),
the appropriate LED flashes. The relay takes the
safe condition. In mode "Operate“ a fault signal is
displayed.
• When you want to control further relays, proceed in
the same way than for relay 1.
The positions for adjustment of the appropriate
relays are stated in the list of the rotating switch (7)
under 4.1 Indicating and adjustment elements.

When you want to change the mode (i.e. the switching
function of the relays) you have to exchange the on
and off-values (see fig. 4.2)
• Mode A (overfill protection)
switch on point < switch off point
To adjust e.g. for relay 1 mode A (overfill protection)
you have to enter with position 1 (relay 1 on) of the
rotating switch (7) the lower value and with position
2 (relay 1 off) the higher value. Hence relay 1 is
switched off when the max. level is reached
(deenergized condition) and switched on when min.
level is reached.
• Mode B (dry run protection)
switch on point > switch off point
When you want to adjust mode B (dry run
protection) for relay 1, you have to enter with
position 1 (relay 1 on) of the rotating switch (7) the
higher value and with position 2 (relay 1 off) the
lower value. Hence relay 1 is switched on when
Mode B

max. level is reached and switch off (deenergized
condition) when min. level is reached.
Integration time
• When you want to adjust an integration time
(reaction delay), set the rotating switch (7) to
position 9.
• With the keys (3 and 4) you can change the value of
the indication (0 up to 250 seconds).
Offset correction
As a factory setting, pressure transmitters are adjusted
in a certain position. When the transmitter is
mounted in another position, the measuring range is
shifted.
• Ensure that the sensor is unpressurized.
• To carry out an offset correction, set the rotating
switch (7) to position E (Offset correction). The
display now indicates the actual sensor current in
mA or the voltage in V.
• Push the plus and minus key (3 and 4) together.
The measuring range is not modified, but
completely shifted.
• Set the rotating switch (7) to position 0 (OPERATE).
All adjusted values are transferred to an EEPROMmemory and saved. They remain there even in case
of a probable voltage loss.

Stage 2
Activation of the pump changeover function
It is the task of a pump changeover function, in case of
several pumps with the same function, to switch on the
pump with the shortest working time and to switch off
the pump with the longest working time.
This avoids overstress of the pumps and the lifetime of
the pumps is increased considerably. This increases
the reliability of the complete system and avoids
failures.
This means that all relays where a pump changeover
function is activated, are no more fixed coordinated to
a certain switch point but are switched on or off
dependent on the working time. VEGADIS 371 Ex
selects for switch on the relay with the shortest
working time and for switch off the relay with the
longest working time.
Example (see fig. 4.3)
Two emptying pumps should empty a vessel when a
certain level is reached. The first pump should switch
on at 80 % filling.
When the level increases, a second pump should be
switched on at 90 %.
Both pumps should be switched off again at 10 %
filling.

Indication of the working times
When the pump changeover function of a relay is
activated, the working times can be enquired (positions
of the rotating switch 2, 4, 6, 8)
The working times of the relays which are coordinated
to the pump changeover function are saved every 8
hours in the EEPROM, i.e. the data saved last remain
even in case of power failure.
The working time is indicated in hours. The max.
indication is 9999 hours (over 1 year). If this value is
exceeded, the working time indication starts again at
0.
When you deactivate the pump changeover function of
a relay, the working time indication is set to 0 and
switched off.
When you carry out a reset, the pump changeover
function for all relays is deactivated and the working
time indication of all relays is reset to 0.
You can add or remove each relay individually to/from
the pump changeover function. Any combination is
possible.
The coordinated relays must all be operated in the
same mode (A/B):
Mode A (overfill protection)
Switch on point < Switch off point
Switch on relay:
The relay with the shortest working time
switches on.
Switch off relay :
The relay with the longest working time
switches off.
Mode B (dry run protection)
Switch on point > Switch off point
Switch on relay:
The relay with the shortest working time
switches on.
Switch off relay:
The relay with the longest working time
switches off.
realised for both pumps (relay 1 and 2).
4.3 Mounting of the relay modules
Up to 2 relay modules with 2 output relays each can be
mounted in VEGADIS 371. The mounting should be
made by skilled staff. Ex-approved instruments must
not be modified afterwards. When you want to retrofit
VEGADIS 371 Ex, send the instrument to VEGA. With
two relay modules totally 4 output relays are available.
• Switch off voltage supply.
• Loosen the front of the housing of VEGADIS 371
with a coin or a screwdriver. On the lower side of
the housing there is a slot.
• Remove the front of the housing. You do not have to
loosen the connection cable of the digital indication
to mount the relay modules.
• Plug the first relay module carefully to module 1.
Note that the pins are not bent (see fig. 4.4).
• Fasten the relay module with a small screwdriver.
• A sticker is attached to the relay where the terminal
coordination is visible. Place this sticker to the
instrument housing in front of the appropriate
terminals.
• Connect the terminals of the relays.
• Switch the supply voltage on.
• Adjust the switch points so that you can use the

5.1 Simulation
The figures in brackets relate to the figures under "4.1 Indicating and adjustment elements“.
• Set the rotating switch (7) to position F "Simulation“. The actual measured value is taken over and flashes. The
simulation is immediately active. Level changes are not indicated during simulation.
• With the keys (3 and 4) you can modify the value of the indication. You can adjust any requested value within
the scaled range and hence test also the function of the current output and the mounted output relays.
• After the simulation is finished, you have to set the rotating switch (7) again to position 0 “OPERATE“. Hence
the simulation is interrupted and the actual measured value is indicated again.
