2 For your safety
2 For your safety
2.1 Authorised personnel
All operations described in this operating instructions manual must
be carried out only by trained specialist personnel authorised by the
plant operator.
During work on and with the device the required personal protective
equipment must always be worn.
2.2 Appropriate use
The components such as electronics module, accumulator insert,
emitting electronics, housing or process components described in
this manual are replacement components for existing sensors.
2.3 Approvals
Depending on the version, instruments with approvals can have
deviating technical data. For these instruments, the corresponding
approval documents must be observed. These documents are part of
the scope of delivery or can be downloaded from www.vega.com via
"VEGA Tools" and "serial number search" as well as via "Downloads"
and "Approvals".
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 company environmental protection. The environment management system is certied according
to DIN EN ISO 14001.
Please help us full this obligation by observing the environmental
instructions in this manual:

3.2 Principle of operation
The electronics module is suitable for exchange in sensors of series
VEGAFLEX 80. You can nd the available versions in chapter "Mount-
ing preparations".
3.3 Packaging, transport and storage
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environmentfriendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE
foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or concealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Storage
43656-EN-121113

4.1 General instructions
The new electronics module must be loaded with the order and factory data of the sensor. These are the options:
At the factory by VEGA
•
Or on site by the user
•
Information:
When loading on site, rst 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.
Warning:
Switch o voltage supply before starting the mounting procedure. The
replacement electronics must only be mounted in idle condition.
Non-observance will damage the electronics!
The safety-relevant data for explosion protection of the electronics
module supplied later can deviate from the data of the previously
installed electronics module. If the electronics modue supplied later,
is installed in a certied, explosion-protected sensor, it is absolutely
necessary to observe the instrument "Safety instructions" attached to
the supplied electronics module! The attached label must be applied
on the sensor housing.
4.2 Mounting preparations
Assignment
The electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor. First
of all check by means of the following lists if you are using a suitable
electronics module.
FX-E.80H for version 4 … 20 mA/HART (two-wire/four-wire/Mod-

bus)
FX-E.80A for version 4 … 20 mA/HART with SIL qualication

5.1 Setup preparations
If you have ordered the electronics module by stating the sensor
serial number, it is ready for the setup steps after installation and
connection to power supply.
Without sensor serial
number
Parameter adjustment
If you have ordered the electronics module without stating the sensor serial number or you are using a suitable electronics module
from stock, you rst 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.
Below the order data you will nd "Sensor data for Service-DTM" as
XML le. This le includes all sensor-specic parameters as well as
the data of the factory setting.
Load this le with "Save target as" on your PC. Start PACTware and
under "Instrument data" go to the menu item "Additional functions",
then to "Electronics exchange". Transfer the XML le to the sensor.
5.2 Setup steps
If the instrument is used in the same application after the electronics
exchange, the previous parameter adjustment of the instrument must
be restored. For this purpose, you can use the import function of the
adjustment software PACTware with the device DTMs or the copy
function of the indicating and adjustment module.
Information:
It is recommended to recreated an existing false signal suppression
after an electronics exchange. If this is not possible, for example,
because the vessel is lled, the false signal suppression can be
imported also via the DTM. However, the false signal suppression
should be updated or recreated next time when the vessel is empty.
