Principle of operation |
|||||||||
Application area |
The VEGADIS 81 is an external measured value indicating unit that |
||||||||||
|
can also be used to adjust the sensors. |
||||||||||
|
Depending on the sensor, it can be mounted up to 25 m or 50 m away |
||||||||||
|
from the sensor and is directly powered by the sensor. A separate |
||||||||||
|
voltage supply is not required. |
||||||||||
|
If the sensor is difficult to access, it can be mounted at a more favour- |
||||||||||
|
able location. |
||||||||||
Application example |
The measured value indication and the sensor adjustment are carried |
||||||||||
|
out via the display and adjustment module integrated in VEGADIS 81. |
