Mounting
2.1 Mounting versions
VEGAMET 514 D … 514 VD 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 or type 506.
Module
Multipoint connector DIN 41 612, series F, 33-pole
(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, 33-pole
(d, b, z) with coded pins, Ex-separating chamber
and mounting material for mounting in carrier
BGT 596 Ex.M.
Single housing
Plastic housing type 505 or type 506 for single
mounting of signal conditioning instruments with a
width of 5 TE (25,4 mm).
Mounting carrier
Mount the respective module (standard or Exversion) in the carrier. Wire the connections of the
multipoint connector according to the wiring plan on
page 14.
The multipoint connector is available as follows:
- 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 2 x 0,5 mm
For further information concerning mounting see
operating instruction of the carrier.
Mounting single housing
You can either screw the housing socket directly to
the mounting plate or plug on a carrier rail
(TS 35 x 7,5 acc. to EN 50 022 or TS 32 acc. toEN
50 035). Connect the terminals according to the
wiring plans on the following pages. For further
information to the mounting see operating instruction
of the housing.

Coding
To avoid interchanging of the various signal
conditioning instruments, the multipoint connector of
the carrier or the housing is provided with pins and
the multiple plug of the signal conditioning
instrument with holes (mechanical coding).
An Ex-coding with fixed coded pin ensures that notEx and Ex-instruments are not interchanged.
An instrument coding ensures that the various signal
conditioning instruments are not interchanged. The
respective coded pins are attached to each module
or housing. Provide the multipoint connector with
these coded pins acc. to the following schedule and
figure.

Note!
Signal conditioning instruments must be generally

Ex-separating chamber
Mounting in carriers
If you mount your VEGAMET with Ex-approval in a
carrier, you have to use a VEGA-Ex-module. Keep a
distance of at least 10 mm (2 TE) to modules of other
manufacturers. If you want to mount the VEGAMET in
the extreme left position in the carrier, you have to
mount a blind cover of at least 20 mm (4 TE) in front
of the module of the instrument.
To ensure sufficient "air and creeping distances", an
Ex-separating chamber must be mounted to the
connections of VEGAMET. Lead the wires through the
Ex-separating chamber and connect them. Fasten
the Ex-separating chamber with the lower screw.
Observe the operating instrumention of carrier
BGT 596 Ex.M.
Protection for Ex-applications
In Ex-applications a protection of IP 20 must be kept.
Cover the spaces or not used modules from the front
by appropriate blind covers.

The inputs of the signal conditioning instruments are
configured according to the ordered instrument

necessary. However should there be a modification
necessary, you will find some explanations and
connection examples in the following.
The signal conditioning instruments are either
connected directly to the sensors or they receive
measured data from other sensors via the DISBUSconnection.

5.2 Maintenance
The instrument is maintenance free.
5.3 Repair
Due to safety and guarantee reasons repair work
beside the wiring must only be made by VEGA-staff.
In case of a defect please return the respective
instrument with a short description of the error to our
repair department.
5.4 Fault signal
The signal conditioning instrument and the
connected sensor are permanently monitored during
operation. During the parameter adjustments to
adjusted values are checked on plausibility. In both
cases fault signals can be caused by irregularities.
In case of failure an error code is indicared on the
display (only in the range indication of measured
values), the fail safe relay de-energizes, the failure
LED lights and the outputs react acc. to their control
condition.
The error codes are listed in section 5.5 on the
following pages.
The diagnosis info is transferred by means of a
current text indication.
Configuration
You can determine separately for each meas. point, if
a fault signal should be transferred or not. See menu
range "Configuration meas. point" menu point "Fault
signal", see page 21.
Parameter adjustment
In the menu point "Failure mode" can be determined
separately for each measuring point how a
decreasing of the measuring range should trigger a
fault signal.
