3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGADIS 62 is an external indicating and adjustment unit without
external energy for 4 … 20 mA/HART sensors. The instrument is used
for remote measured value indication and adjustment. It is looped in
any position directly into the signal cable.
The housing of VEGADIS 62 contains a filter element for ventilation.
Hence the insturment is also used for atmospheric pressure
compensation of a connected suspension pressure transmitter
VEGAWELL 52.
Fig. 2: Connection of the VEGADIS 62 to a suspension pressure transmitter
The VEGADIS 62 can be also used as external indication for a four-
wire sensor or a VEGAMET signal conditioning instrument with active
4 … 20 mA output.
Operation
The VEGADIS 62 is suitable for operation of all continuously
measuring VEGA sensors with HART output > 5.0:

3 Product description
l Radar and ultrasonic sensors
l Sensors with guided microwave
l Capacitive probes
l Pressure transmitter
l Previous instrument versions (replacement for VEGADIS 12)
The operation of respective sensors from other manufacturers is also
possible.
The VEGADIS 62 acts like a HART handheld with limited functions.
The following adjustment functions are available:
l Min./Max. adjustment
l zero/span adjustment (live adjustment)
l Damping
Basic mode: when used in a 4 … 20 mA signal cable, the VEGADIS
62 works as a pure indicating instrument. It measures the current in the
current loop and shows it as digital value as well as via a bargraph. All
settings of VEGADIS 62 are carried out manually via the buttons in the
front.
Adjustment volume: Indication scaling
HART standard: when used with a 4 … 20 mA/HART sensor, the
VEGADIS 62 operates as automatic indicating and HART adjustment
instrument. The VEGADIS 62 powered via the current loop listens
continuously to the HART communication of the control system with
the sensor. Changes of unit and/or measuring range are adapted
automatically.
The parameter adjustment of the sensor is carried out via HART
communication. During the parameter adjustment, the VEGADIS 62
operates as a Secondary Master to the sensor.
HART multidrop: The VEGADIS 62 can also be used as indicator for
a bus participant on a HART multidrop system. For this purpose, it is
looped into the bus and the address of the participant is set in the
VEGADIS 62. The instrument reads out the measured values with unit
via the HART signal and displays them.
Adjustment volume: Sensor function damping, indication scaling

You can give your instrument 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.

5.1 Preparing the connection
Safety instructions
Voltage supply
Connection cable
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
l If voltage surges are expected, install overvoltage arresters
Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire
cable. The voltage supply range can differ depending on the sensor.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the mainscircuits according to DIN VDE 0106 part 101.
Keep in mind the following additional factors that influence the
operating voltage:
l Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under
nominal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA resp. 22 mA in
case of fault message)
l Influence of additional instruments in the circuit (see load values in
chapter "Technical data")
Operation of VEGADIS 62 in a HART multidrop system with the signal
conditioning instruments VEGAMET 625 or VEGASCAN 693 is not
supported.
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, screened cable should
be used.
For instruments with housing and cable gland, use cable with round
cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm (0.2 … 0.35 in)
ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. If you are using cable with a
different diameter, exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland.
We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART
multidrop mode.
Cable gland ½ NPT
Cable screening and
grounding
With plastic housing, the NPT cable gland or t he Conduit steel tube
must be screwed without grease into the threaded insert.
Max. torque for all housings see chapter "Technical data"
If screened cable is necessary, connect the cable screen on both ends
to ground potential. In the sensor, the screen must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the
outside of the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation
(low impedance).
36469-EN-120329
VEGADIS 6213
5 Connecting to power supply
If potential equalisation currents are expected, the connection on the
processing side must be made via a ceramic capacitor (e. g. 1 nF,
1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation currents are thus
suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequency interference si gnals remains.
Warning:
Significant potential differences exist inside galvanization plants as
well as on vessels with cathodic corrosion protection. Considerable
equalisation currents can flow over the cable screen if the screen is
grounded on both ends.
To avoid this in such applications, the cable screen must be connected
to ground potential only at one end (in the switching cabinet). The
cable screen must not be connected to the internal ground terminal in
the sensor and the outer ground terminal on the housing must not be
connected to the potential equalisation!
Information:
The metal parts of the instrument (antenna, transmitter, concentric
tube, etc.) are conductive connected with the inner and outer ground
terminal on the housing. This connection exists either directly metallic
or with instruments with external electronics via the screen of the
special connection cable.
You can find specifications to the potential connections within the
instrument in chapter "Technical data".

5.4 Connection HART standard
The following illustrations show in a simplified way the use of
VEGADIS 62 in conjunction with a HART sensor. The HART
communication resistance in the signal cable is always required for a
low impedance power supply. It is absolutely necessary to install it
between voltage supply and the VEGADIS 62.
Note:
If the instrument is powered via a VEGAMET signal conditioning
instrument, then the communication resistor is already included in the
signal conditioning instrument. A communication resistor in the signal
cable must not be installed.

During the start-up process, the VEGADIS 62 tries automatically to get
in contact with the connected sensor via HART and to accept the
settings (unit, adjustment and damping) of this sensor. During
connection, the status line displays "CONNECT HART".
If a HART sensor is identified, then the HART symbol is displayed. The
VEGADIS 62 switches to HART mode and and starts operation with
the settings accepted from the sensor.
Note:
This procedure is repeated whenever the voltage supply is connected.
If during the start process an individual key is pressure or if the
instrument has not identified within approx. 70 seconds a HART
sensor, then the digital indication switches to basic mode and starts
operation with the default settings.
If the HART address is modified by the control system during
operation, a new connection is established, however, the sensor must
answer immediately in order for the connection to be set up.

Edit values
Basic mode
By pushng the [OK] key, the parameter adjustment mode will be
started. The parameter adjustment is carried out via an adjustment
menu. The same menu window is opened from which the parameter
adjustment mode is quit during the last parameter adjustment. Single
points in the menu can be selected with the [↑] and [↓] keys. The
branching to the next submenu is carried out by pushing the [OK] key
again.
In a submenu you change with [OK] to the editing function, this means
the displayed settings can be changed. If the indication is in the editing
mode, then the edited value flashes. Editing is carried out with the [↑]
and [↓] keys.
In the editing mode, you jump to the range end when you hold the [↑]
or [↓] key by pushing [ESC]. by pushing [OK] you jump to the range
start. When holding the [↑] keyand by pushing the [↓] key (and vice
versa), then the value zero is adjusted, When increasing a value at the
end of the adjustment range, you jump to the range start and vice
versa.
The editing function and be quit with [ESC] (without accepting the
modifications) and with [OK] (accepting the modifications).
6.2 Modes
In the following cases, the VEGADIS 62 goes automatically to basic
mode:
l If it does not find a HART sensor within approx. 70 s after
switching on
l If a key was pressed in the switching on phase
In basic mode, it works exclusively as an indicating instrument on the4 … 20 mA cable, the HART symbol is not displayed.
HART standard
The VEGADIS 62 goes automatically to the mode HART standard
when a functioning HART communication to the sensor was
established.
The displayed measured value is calculated from the loop current and
the adjustment data of the sensor.
During operation, the VEGADIS 62 monitors the current loop
constantly for a HART communication between control system and
sensor. If the unit changes or adjustments of the connected sensor are
carried out by the control system, the unit and the corresponding
indicating range are automatically adapted in VEGADIS 62. The
prerequisite, however, is that the unit set in the sensor must be stored
in VEGADIS 62.
The VEGADIS 62 also allows the measuring range and calibration of
the connected HART sensor to be modified. For this, no additional
instruments or tools are necessary. Further changes to the configuration of the sensor cannot be carried out.
36469-EN-120329
VEGADIS 6223
6 S et parameters
A flashing heart symbol is displayed as long as a HART communi-
cation takes place for the first time and the instrument is hence set to
the HART mode. The heart symbol is displayed permanently if the
HART communication is finished and the digital indication is
configured according to the measuring range and the unit of the
connected sensor.
When there is a HART communication through the control room during
operation, then the heat symbol flashes during the communication.
HART multidrop
The VEGADIS 62 goes to HART multidrop mode if in the menu
"Measurement", menu item "Address" an address unequal 0 is
adjusted. In this mode for HART sensors, the current signal is fixed to
4 mA and the measurement information is transmitted only via the
HART communication to the control room.
The VEGADIS 62 enquires the Primary Value (PV) of the transmitter
with the suitable address once. Afterwards the display behaves
passively, i.e. the transmission of additional measured values must be
requested from the control system. The bargraph is not displayed in
HART multidrop.
6.3 Parameter description
Through the parameter adjustment the instrument is adapted to the
application conditions. The parameter adjustment is carried out via an
adjustment menu.
The adjustment menu is divided into three sections with the following
functions:
Measurement: Contains for example unit, measuring range, live
adjustment, damping, HART address
Indication: Contains for example unit, unit locking, display format,filter, alarms min./max. storage
Configuration: Contains for example language, contrast, reset, user

VEGADIS 6227
Adjustment of the unit for the digital indication. First of all the unit
selected in the menu "Measurement", for example m appears.
Furthermore the units from the same unit group such as e.g. mm, cm,
m etc. are available. The measured values are automatically converted
into the selected unit.
If % is selected as unit, then the VEGADIS 62 converts the actual loop
current into a % value relating to the max. loop current. If mA is
selected as a unit, then the actual loop current is displayed in mA.

The units % and mA are not available in multidrop operation because
in this case the loop current is fixed.

Indication/Unit locking
Indication/Indication de-
cimal point
DurcBy activating the unit locking, the set indication unit is locked
against changes by the sensors, the display shows the sign "GESP/LoC". Hence it is possible to adjust for the VEGADIS 62 another
indicating unit than the sensor unit, e.g. %. It will also not be
overwritten in case of a restart of the sensor. Adjustment changes on
the sensor however are automatically converted. The unit locking
functions onyl if the units of measuring range and indication come from
the same unit group.
When connecting a transmitter and its configuration via HART with a
unit from another unit group, then the unit locking will be deactivated.
For this purpose, the indicating unit is adjusted according to the
configured measuring range unit.

7.1 Adjust the sensor
The min./max. adjustment of the connected sensor is carried out via
the menu "Measurement", menu items "Unit", "Measuring range
begin", "Measuring range end" and if necessary "Measuring range
decimal point". The entered values are taken over when storing into
the sensor.
Note:
It is recommended to note the transmitted data for the plant
documentation or a possible later correction of the adjustment.
7.2 Scale the indication
After the min./max. adjustment of the sensor, the actual measured
value is displayed on the VEGADIS 62. The original sensor value, for
example, in "bar" with pressure transmitters or in "m" distance with
radar sensors is converted into the unit set in the menu "Measure-ment", menu item "Unit" and is displayed digitally. First of all the4 … 20 mA current is measured and shown quasianalogue on the
bargraph. This value takes the min./max. adjustment into consideration.
The VEGADIS 62 allows via the unit "USER" a free, application-
specific indication scaling. The VEGADIS 62 acts here as a pure
indicating instrument without HART communication with the connected
sensor.
For the indication scaling proceed as follows:
1 Set in the menu "Configuration", menu item "USER unit" the
requested unit with the available characters.

3 Enter in the menu "Measurement", menu item "MB begin" the
initial value of the requested scaling.
4 Enter in the menu "Measurement", menu end "MB begin" the final
value of the requested scaling.
5 Enter in the menu "Measurement", menu item "MB format" the
requested position of the decimal point.
The display shows in the measured value indication the 4 … 20 mA
current in the adjusted scaling as digital value or quasianalogue in the
set unit.

7 Set up sensors
Note:
The menu items used for the adjustment are also used for entering the
scaling data. We thus recommend writing down the scaling data for
plant documentation or for a possible later correction of the adjustment.
7.3 Correct sensor adjustment
For a correction of the sensor adjustment, the HART communication
must be again activated. This is carried out in the menu "Measure-ment", menu item "Unit". Enter here the unit in which the adjustment
was carried out.
The HART communication is now started again. The VEGADIS 62 is
again Secondary Master for the sensor and loads the adjustment data
from the sensor.
Then enter the modified values for the "M easuring range begin" and
"Measuring range end".
The entered value for the measuring range begin and end are
transferred to the sensor when saving.
Proceed as previously described for a new indication scaling.
7.4 PACTware/DTM and PLICSCOM
With an existing HART connection from VEGADIS 62 to the sensor,
adjustment changes in the sensor can also be carried out via other
adjustment systems such as PACTware/DTM or PLICSCOM. This
does not cause conflicts, but the changes are not updated automatically in VEGAD IS 62. For updating, a HART connection is required. To
do this, the signal circuit must be interrupted and then re-connected.
As an alternative, it is possible to set the unit in the menu
"Measurement" briefly to "USER". If it is then again reset to a unit
supported by the sensor such as for example "bar" or "m", the changes
carried out in the meantime via other adjustment systems are updated
in the VEGADIS 62.

8.1 Maintenance
If the device is used correctly, no maintenance is required in normal
operation.
8.2 Error messages
HART communication errors are signalled with numerical codes 1 - 7.
An error message is sent if a transaction was not successful after
multiple attempts.
An error message is only displayed if an error occurs due to a
transmitted command, this means only if the error is caused by an
adjustment of the user. Errors in the communication between control
system and sensor are detected but not displayed.
The measured value line shows "Error“, the status line "HART n“
whereby "n" represents the numerical error code. The error message
is displayed up to the next key pressing.
The following table shows the error codes and gives information on the
failure reason and removal.

The HART protocol operates with the technology of the frequency shift keying (FSK = frequency shift
keying) based on the data communication standard Bell 202. The digital signal is generated out of the
frequencies 1200 and 2200 Hz representing each the bit information 1 and 0. Sinus curves with these
frequencies are superimposed to the direct current in the wire pair of the field device. The average
value of the superimposed signal is zero. Hence the 4 … 20 mA signal is not influenced by the digital
data transmission.
