Please read this manual carefully, and also take
note of country-specific installation standards
(e.g. the VDE regulations in Germany) as well
as all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules.
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 qualified
VEGA personnel.

Product description
1 Product description
1.1 Function and configuration
VEGATOR 620 … 622 signal conditioning
instruments are module units with plug-in
socket, suitable for carrier rail mounting (DIN
46 277). In conjunction with sensors they are
used for level detection and switching command output, which is triggered by relay and
transistor switches.
Typical applications are double point controls, e.g. pump controls (on/off) and monitoring functions such as overfill or dry run
protection.
The instruments are equipped with adjustable integration time. The integrated fault
monitoring (not with VEGATOR 620) detects
short circuit or interruption of the measuring
circuit. In case of failure, a failure LED lights
up. The level relay and the transistor output
deenergise.
To construct a measuring system you need a
VEGATOR … level switch and a sensor with
analogue measured data transmission, i.e.
- capacitive meas. probes,
- hydrostatic pressure transmitters or
- process pressure transmitters.
1.2 Approvals
If measuring systems are installed according
to the following approvals, the appropriate
official documents have to be noted and the
regulations observed. The documents are
supplied with the respective measuring system.
WHG approval
VEGATOR 621 and 622 signal conditioning
instruments with capacitive meas. probes or
pressure transmitters as part of an overfill
protection according to WHG.
General type approval
no. Z.-65.13-105
Ex approval
When using measuring systems in Ex and
StEx areas, the instruments must be suitable
and approved for these applications and
explosion zones. The suitability is checked
by approval authorities and certified in approval documents. VEGATOR 621 Ex and
622 Ex are provided with Ex approval according to CENELEC (PTB no.
Ex-96.D.2068).

Mounting and installation instructions
2 Mounting and installation instructions
Mounting
Each series 600 signal conditioning instrument consists of a terminal socket for carrier
rail mounting DIN 46 277 and a module unit.
The supply voltage can be connected to the
terminals 9 and 10 of the terminal socket.
If there are adjoining series 600 instruments,
it is possible to continue the connection L1
and N via the supplied jumpers.
Note!
The jumpers must never be used on single
instruments or at the respective end of a row
of instruments, as there is the danger of
coming into contact with the supply voltage,
or of causing a short circuit.
The signal conditioning instrument must always be mounted outside hazardous areas
or special Ex protective measures must be
taken.
Transparent cover
To protect the instrument against unauthorised or inadvertent use, the front plate of
VEGATOR can be provided after setup with a
lockable transparent cover. To remove
transparent cover, see drawing below.
Coding
To avoid inadvertent swapping of the different signal conditioning instruments, the terminal socket is provided with pins and the
signal conditioning instrument with appropriate gaps (mechanical coding). An instrument
coding with coded pins in different positions
ensures that the various signal conditioning
instruments cannot get mixed up.
Ex instruments
An Ex coding with fixed coded pin
ensures that non Ex and Ex instruments cannot get mixed up.
The coding is part of the explosion protection: On VEGATOR… Ex the supplied coded
pins (instrument coded pin and Ex coded
pin) must be inserted by the user according
to the table below.

Electrical connection
3.1 Connection instructions
The following connection plans are valid for
standard as well as for Ex versions of the
signal conditioning instruments. Please observe the following instructions:
- the relay contacts are shown in their condition in the absence of current
- if strong electromagnetic interferences are
expected, we recommend the use of
shielded cable for the signal cables
- the shielding must be grounded only on
one sensor or signal conditioning instrument side
- if there is the danger of overvoltage, the
use of VEGA overvoltage arresters is
recommended
- the connection should be made according
to country-specific installation standards
(e.g. in Germany acc. to the VDE
regulations).
3.2 Connection instructions for
Ex approved applications
For the following applications, certified instruments are required:
- in hazardous areas (if necessary, observe
the special national regulations)
- as part of an overfill protection system
acc. to WHG
- in the shipbuilding industry
- for pressurized vessels.
For these applications, the respective official
documents (test reports, test certificates,
general type approval and conformity certificates) as well as the applicable mounting
and operating instructions should be observed. The official documents are supplied
with the respective instrument.
In Ex applications, the voltage supply of the
sensor must be delivered only through an
intrinsically safe circuit. This can be done by
means of:
- VEGATOR series 600 signal conditioning
instrument in Ex version
- not certified VEGATOR series 600 signal
conditioning instrument with VEGA safety
barrier type 145
Please also note the official documents of
these additional instruments.

- deactivate the on delay/off delay modes
(switches ze, za, 2, 6, 12 to position „off“)
on the DIL switch block (12)
- mount the instrument module onto the terminal socket
- switch on the power supply, the green LED
(3) lights
- adjust the switching points acc. to „4.3
Switching point adjustment“
- if an integration time (on delay/ off delay)
should be necessary, the instrument must
be removed again to set the time on the
DIL switch block (12).
