Mounting
VEGAMET 513 signal conditioning
instruments can be either mounted with a
module in a carrier BGT 596 or BGT
596 Ex.M or in a single housing type 505.
Mounting in carrier
Mount the respective module (standard or Ex
version) in your carrier. Wire the terminals of
the multipoint connector according to the
wiring plan.
Module
Multipoint connector DIN 41 612, series F, 33pole (d, b, z) with coded pins and mounting
material for mounting in carrier BGT 596 or
BGT 596 Ex.M.
Module Ex
Multipoint connector DIN 41 612, series F, 33pole (d, b, z) with coded pins, Ex separating
chamber and mounting material for mounting
in carrier BGT 596 Ex.M.
The multipoint connector is available in the
following versions:
- Wire-Wrap standard connection
1.0 x 1.0 mm
- Plug connection 2.8 x 0.8 mm
- Termi-Point standard connection
1.6 x 0.8 mm
- Soldering connection
- Screw terminals 0.5 mm

For further mounting information, see the
operating instructions of the carrier.
Mounting in single housing
Either screw the housing socket directly to
the mounting plate or plug it onto a carrier rail
(35 x 15 acc. to EN 50 022 or 32 acc. to
EN 50 035). Connect the terminals according
to the wiring plans on the following pages.
For further mounting information see the operating instructions of the housing.
Transparent cover
To protect the instrument against unauthorised adjustment, the front plate of VEGAMET
can be provided with a lockable transparent
cover.
Coding
To prevent an interchanging of the different
signal conditioning instruments, the multipoint
connector of carrier or the housing can be
provided with coded pins.
Note:
The coding is absolutely necessary for Ex
instruments!
The multiple plug of the signal conditioning
instrument is equipped with respective holes
(mechanical coding). Instrument coding
ensures that the different signal conditioning
instruments cannot be interchanged. The
appropriate coded pins are supplied with
each module or housing. Equip the multipoint
connector with these coded pins acc. to the
following table.

3.1 Connection instructions
Note the following instructions for electrical
connection:
- The connection must be made acc. to the
local installation standards (e.g. in Germany acc. to the VDE-regulations).
- The wiring between VEGAMET and sensor
can be done with standard two-wire cable.
- If strong electromagnetic interferences are
expected, screened cable is recommended. The screening must be earthed
on both ends.
- The line resistances stated in the technical
data must not be exceeded.
- If overvoltages are expected, we recom-
mend a sensor electronics with integrated
overvoltage protection or the installation of
VEGA overvoltage arresters.
- The voltage supply of VEGAMET must
provide extra-low voltage to ensure
protection class II. When using VEGASTAB
593, a reliable separation from the mains
circuits acc. to DIN VDE 0106, part 101 is
ensured.
3.2 Connection instructions for Ex approved applications
The signal conditioning instruments must be
generally mounted outside the hazardous
areas, or special Ex protective measures
must be taken.
Ex separating chamber
To ensure sufficient "air and creep distance",
an Ex separating chamber must be mounted
to the connections of VEGAMET. Lead the
cables through the Ex separating chamber
and connect them. Fasten the Ex separating
chamber with the lower screw. Note the
operating instructions of the carrier BGT 596
Ex.M.
Protection in Ex applications
In Ex applications, a protection class of IP 20
must be maintained. To accomplish this,
cover the gaps or free modules from the front
with suitable blind covers.
Mounting in carriers
If you mount your VEGAMET with Ex approval in a carrier, you have to use a VEGAEx module. Keep a distance of at least 10
mm (2 TE) to module cards of other manufacturers. If you want to mount VEGAMET at the
utmost left position in the carrier, you have to
mount a blind cover with at least 20 mm (4
TE) in front of the module of the instrument.

Reduced menu - extended menu
Two menu modes are available: the mode
"reduced menu" and the mode "extended

Note:
VEGAMET 513 is preset to automatically
place you in the menu mode "reduced menu"!
In the majority of all applications, you can
carry out the necessary settings in this menu
mode (see also chapter 4.5 Comparison of
the menu modes).
Adjustment structure
The adjustment is made via 6 keys in conjunction with the text display. The jump from
the measured value display to the underlying
menu is made with [OK]. Use [–>] or [<–] to
change within this menu level from one menu
item to the other. A branching point is
indicated by the symbol ▼ and enables with
[OK] a jump to the underlying menu item.
Parameters can be recognised by the
absence of the symbol ▼. The value of the
parameters can be modified with [+] or [–] or
chosen out of a list. The modified value can
be saved with [OK]. To interrupt a setting
(without saving the modification), you have to
push [ESC]. A jump back to the next higher
menu item is made with [ESC]. 15 minutes

4.4 Configuration and parameter adjustment
Independent of whether you set up your
VEGAMET via the keys of the adjustment
module or via a PC with the software VVO,
the procedure is always the same.
Proceed in the following sequence:
- configuration (if not already configured as
factory setting)
- parameter adjustment.
In this operating instruction manual, the adjustment steps are described which are
directly carried out on the keys of VEGAMET.
The adjustment via the software VVO is described in a separate manual.
Configuration
Configuring means assigning or setting
(once) functions. VEGAMET requires a
(mostly once) basic co-ordination, determining the applications and the assignments of
the inputs and outputs. Choises can be
made from existing functions and options.
This procedure is called configuration. The
signal conditioning instruments are delivered
with a configuration which only needs to be
changed in special cases.
The basic configuration includes the following
steps:
1 Configuration measurement loop
• Choose the kind of application (level,
gauge…)
• Choose sensor type (capacitive, hydro-
static…)
• Specify application (standard, level
difference…)
• Determine options (no option, correc-
tions…)
Note:
The measurement loop configuration can only
be modified if a "Reset to single measurement" or a "Reset to linked application" has
been carried out previously (under
"Additional functions" in the extended menu).
If you only want to modify the sensor type,
you first have to carry out "Reset TAG 1"
(under "Additional functions" in the reduced
menu).
2 Configuration, inputs
• Determine from where your VEGAMET
receives the input data (sensor, other
VEGAMET)
• Enter sensor characteristics values (meas.
range, current range)
3 Configuration, outputs
• All outputs (except fail-safe relay) can be
assigned to a sensor or can be switched
off.
After basic configuration, VEGAMET starts
operating and indicates the actual measured
value. The other configurations should be
carried out after the parameter adjustment.
Parameter adjustment
Parameter adjustment means changing the
values. Signal conditioning instruments have
many parameters, the values of which can be
modified, such as for example the integration
time of 0 … 600 s. The modification of these
values is called parameter adjustment. The
parameter adjustment does not influence the
configuration. Take notice that parameter
adjustment is only possible after a configuration has been done (e.g. set values of the
current input when the current output has
been assigned).
