must be carried out only by trained specialist personnel
authorised by the operator. For safety and warranty reasons,
any internal work on the instruments must be carried out only
by personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
2.2 Appropriate use
Oscillator, emitting electronics, housing or process components are replacement components for existing sensors.
2.3 Safety information for Ex areas
Please note the Ex-specific safety information for installation
and operation in Ex areas. These safety instructions are part of
the operating instructions manual and come with the Exapproved instruments.
2.4 Environmental instructions
Protection of the environment is one of our most important
duties. That is why we have introduced an environment
management system with the goal of continuously improving

Mounting

4.1 General instructions
If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the
user.
In Ex applications, only one instrument and one oscillator with
appropriate Ex approval must be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, it can be
ordered from the responsible VEGA agency.
Sensor serial number
Assignment
The order data and company data of the sensor must be
loaded in the new oscillator. These are the options:
l at the factory by VEGA personnel
l or on site by the user.
Information:
When loading on site, first of all the order data must be
downloaded from the Internet (see "Setup").
In both cases, the sensor serial number is necessary. The
serial numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument,
inside the housing or on the delivery note.
Caution:
The order data and company data contain important presettings for the sensor. A reliable operation and a correction of the
measurement is not possible without these data.
Electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor.
They differ, e.g. in the signal output, the power supply or
approval.
First of all check by means of the overview in section Mounting
preparations, if you are using the suitable electronics module.
Compare the new electronics module with the existing one.
The specifications on the type label must correspond. This
applies mainly to instruments with approvals.

Load sensor data
If you have ordered the electronics module by stating the
sensor serial number, it is ready for operation after
installation and connection to power supply.
If you have ordered the electronics module without stating
the sensor serial number or you are using a suitable
electronics module from stock, you first have to load the
sensor data after installation.
Move via
www.vega.com to the item "serial number search".
The order data of the sensor will be displayed after entering
the serial number.
Fig. 4: Example for the order data of a sensor.
Below the order data you will find as an XML file "Sensor data
for Service-DTM". Load these data with "Save target as" to
your PC and finally export them via PACTware™ and the
Service DTM to the sensor.
