Mounting and installation instructions

Mounting

Each series 600 signal conditioning instru­ment consists of a plug-in socket for carrier
rail mounting DIN 46 277 and a module unit.

The supply voltage can be connected to
terminals 17 and 18.

For neighbouring series 600 signal condition­ing instruments, it is possible to continue the
connection L1 and N directly via the supplied
jumpers. The same is valid for the connection
of VEGAMET voltage output 0 … 10 V (termi­nals 15 and 16) and for DISBUS output (ter­minals 9 and 10).

Note!

The jumpers must never be used with single
instruments or at the terminating end of an
instrument row. If this is not observed, there
is danger of coming in touch with the operat­ing voltage or causing a short-circuit.

VEGAMET 614 Ex signal conditioning instru­ment is intrinsically safe and must not be
installed in hazardous areas.

Before setup, the Ex separating chamber
must be plugged into VEGAMET 614 Ex as
shown in the illustration.

Safe operation is ensured only if the operat­ing instructions manual and the EC type
approval certificate are observed. VEGAMET
614 Ex must not be opened.

Coding

To avoid interchanging the various signal
conditioning instruments, the plug-in socket
is provided with pins and the signal condi­tioning instruments with corresponding gaps
(mechanical coding).

Instrument coding ensures through differ­ently positioned coding pins that the various
series 600 signal conditioning instruments
are not interchanged.

An Ex coding with inserted coding pins en­sures that the non-Ex and Ex instruments are
not interchanged.

On VEGAMET 614 Ex, the supplied
coding pins (instrument coding pin
and Ex coding pin) must be inserted

by the user according to the below 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 614 and
sensor can be made with standard two­wire cable.

- If strong electromagnetic interferences are
expected, we recommend the use of
screened cable. 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 recom­mend a sensor electronics with integrated
overvoltage protection or the installation of
VEGA overvoltage arresters.

3.2 Connection instructions for

Ex approved applications

When wiring between VEGAMET 614 Ex and
an explosion protected sensor, the installation
rules, in Germany acc. to VDE 165 and the
EC type approval certificate, must be ob­served. The official documents are supplied
with the respective instrument.

Adjustment

4.4 Configuration and parameter adjustment

No matter 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 with

a factory setting)

- parameter adjustment.

In this operating instructions 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

Configuration means initial assigning or set­ting functions. VEGAMET requires a (mostly
once) basic co-ordination that determines the
applications and the assignments of the
inputs and outputs. Choices 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…)

• Determine 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“ 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 of inputs

• Determine from where your VEGAMET
receives the input data (sensor, other
VEGAMET)

• Enter sensor characteristics values (meas.
range, current range)

3 Configuration of outputs

• All outputs (except fail safe relay) can been
assigned to one sensor or can be switched
off.

After basic configuration, VEGAMET goes
into operating mode 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 note that parameter ad­justment is only possible after a configuration
has been carried out (e.g. set values of the
current input after the current output has
been assigned).

6.2 Adjustment with medium

You can either carry out the adjustment with
medium or without medium. Adjustment with
medium means that you carry out the adjust­ment taking the actual level into account. To
carry out an adjustment with medium, it is
necessary to know the percentage value of
the actual vessel filling.

In this procedure, the percentage values
which correspond to the actual min. and max.
fillings are entered. It doesn't matter if you
enter first the min. value or the max. value. If
you know, for example, that your filling is
actually 80 %, you can enter in the menu
"max. adjustment" the value "80“. Later, when
your filling is, for example, 10 %, you enter in
the menu "min. adjustment" the value "10“.

You know that your vessel is actually

You can, of course, carr y out the adjustment
with medium at 0 % and 100 % filling. Note:
The figures 0 % and 100 % must flash (edit­ing mode), before they can be saved with the
[OK] key.

The bigger the difference between the two
adjustment points, the more precise the
measurement over the whole measuring
curve. An adjustment at 0 % and 100 %
would be ideal. For practical reasons, it is not
always possible to completely empty or fill a
vessel. The distance between the two adjust­ment points, however, should be at least
10 % of the sensor range.

The measurement loop configuration is usu­ally provided as factory setting. Should a
fundamental modification of the measurement
loop configuration be necessary, a "Reset to
single measurement“ must be carried out first
(in the menu "Additional functions“, "Reset
VEGAMET“). Only then can you modify the
adjustments in the menu items Application,
Sensor type, Mode and Option. You should,
therefore, work through the individual menu
items in the given sequence. The selection or
adjustment options always depend on the
adjustment in the previous menu item. If, for
example, in the menu item Application "Level"
has been set, only a sensor type that is suit­able for level detection can be selected in the
menu item "Sensor type".
As soon as you have carried out and con­firmed an adjustment in the menu item "Op­tion“, the following message appears on the

The adjustment with medium corresponds
to the procedure in the reduced menu (see
appropriate chapter).

- if the medium is changed later on (medium
with another density value or DK value)
and no new adjustment can be made
or

- if the MET indication and the DIS outputs
relate to height in meters

note the following:
In applications with hydrostatic pressure
transmitters, the adjusted density value (see
menu "Parameter, Signal conditioning“) must
correspond to the value of the medium. In
applications with capacitive electrodes, the
adjusted DK value must correspond to the
value of the medium.

For the adjustment without medium, two
anticipated values for level, gauge etc. must
be adjusted corresponding to 0 % and 100
% must be entered.

The menu item "Offset correction“ is activated
when hydrostatic pressure transmitters are
connected. The offset correction should be
carried out after installation of the sensor as
the sensor values can differ slightly due to
varying installation positions (vertical or hori­zontal installations). With the offset correction,
the meas. data of the unpressurised sensor
(vessel empty) are detected as correction
values and taken into account in subsequent
measurements.

The menu items "Scaling“ and "Integration

"reduced menu“ (see appropriate chapter).

The menu items "Density…“ or "DK value… “
are displayed as options when under "Con­figuration measurement loop“ the appropriate
sensor type has been selected. The density
or DK value must, before adjustment with
medium, be so adjusted that it corresponds
to the value of the medium (water has a den­sity of 1.0 kg/dm

3

and a dielectric value of

81.00).

The following linearisation curves are avail­able:

- linear (factory setting)

- horiz. cylindrical tank

- spherical tank

- Lin-curve 1

- Lin-curve 2

- Lin-curve 3
Lin-curves 1 … 3 can be edited by the
user (see appropriate chapter).

After scaling or linearisation, the required
output must be assigned to the scaled or
linearised value (menu item "prop. to..." and
"Unit...") in the menu range "Parameter adjust­ment of outputs".

Under Meas. value limitation, you can ex­clude negative values.

Failure mode Standard

means that at a sensor current of 3.6 mA or
21 mA, the fail safe relay responds.

Failure mode >110%

generates a fault signal if a meas. value of
more than 110 % or less than -10 % is
reached.

With all other modes, the menu items "Low“
and "High“ appear. There you can determine
the switching points for the relay.
The menu item "Failure mode“ always ap­pears. "Failure mode off“ causes the relay to
deenergise when a failure (e.g. sensor
shortcircuit) occurs. "Failure mode hold“
causes the actual relay status to be main­tained when a failure occurs.

Under "Add’l functions“ you can adjust a
switch on delay (t on) and a switch off delay
(t off) of the relay of max. 600 s (with the relay
modes "Rising tendency“ or "Falling ten­dency“ no switching delay can be set).

Tendency determination

The level change within the cycle time (ta) is determined and after completion of all cycles (n),
an average value is generated out of the sum of the level changes. If this average value ex­ceeds a previously defined % value, the tendency determination responds, i.e. an energised
relay deenergises. If "Rising tendency“ or "Falling tendency“ are selected, the menu items
"Deviation in %“ and "Deviation per time“ are activated.

Linearisation curve 1 … 3

A linearisation curve is generated by a cer­tain number of index markers and their value
pairs. A value pair consists of a value for
level percent (X %) and a value for volume
percent (Y V %). Up to max. 32 index mark­ers can be added. A linearisation curve can
be terminated after any individual number of
index markers. The signal conditioning instru­ment terminates the linearisation curve auto­matically with the values X = 100 % and Y
= 100 %.

The data for the value pairs can be deter­mined by incremental filling or can be taken
from a table of values provided by the vessel
manufacturer.

An example of incremental filling

Initial situation:

- you have already carried out the 0 % and
100 % adjustment

- the total volume of the vessel is known to
you, for example 300 m

9.1 Maintenance

The instrument is maintenance-free.

9.2 Simulation

Note

When the simulation is activated, the entire
display flashes. The measurement data deliv­ered by the sensors are not released for
processing. You should, ther efore, quit this
menu item as soon as possible. After 15
minutes, there is an automatic reset to meas.
value indication.

9.3 Fault signal

The signal conditioning instrument and the
connected sensor are continuously moni­tored during operation. During parameter
adjustment, the adjusted values are checked
for plausibility. In both cases, a fault signal
can be triggered by irregularities.

In case of failure, an error code is displayed
(only within the meas. value indication), the
fail safe relay deenergises, the signal lamp
lights and the outputs react according to their
preset operational mode.

Configuration

For each individual measurement loop, you
can determine if a fault signal should be trig­gered or not. See menu range "Configuration
measurement loop“, menu item "Fault signal“.

Parameter adjustment

In the menu item "Failure mode“ you can
determine individually for each measurement
loop whether and how an overrun of the
measuring range should trigger a fault signal.

9.4 Repair

For safety and warranty reasons, any internal
work on the instruments, apart from that
involved in normal installation and electrical
connection, must be carried out only by
VEGA personnel.

In case of defect, please return the affected
instrument with a short description of the fault
to our repair department.

The error codes are listed in section "9.5
Error codes“ on the following pages.

The diagnosis info is transmitted as a scroll­ing text info.
