3.2 Principle of operation |
Application area |
VEGATOR 636 Ex is a single signal conditioning instrument for pro- |
|
cessing of vibrating level switches. |
Functional principle |
TheVEGATOR 636 Ex signal conditioning instrument powers con- |
|
nected sensors and simultaneously processes their measuring |
|
signals. |
|
When the medium reaches the switching point of the sensor, the volt- |
|
age on the sensor drops.The output relays then switch according to |
|
the set mode. |
Voltage supply |
Wide-range power supply unit with 20 … 253 V AC/DC for world-wide |
|
use. |
|
Detailed information about the power supply can be found in chapter |
|
"Technical data". |
3.3 Adjustment
The switching delay and the mode (A/B) can be preset on the signal conditioning instrument via a DIL switch block.
A test key is lowered on the front plate ofVEGATOR 636 Ex.When pushing the key, the measuring system is checked on correct function.
|
