4.1 Connecting
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the springloaded terminals in the housing.
Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface
adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Information:
The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the
electronics. To do this, lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver
and pull it out. When reinserting the terminal block, you should hear it
snap in.
Connection procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turn-
ing it slightly to the left
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug
4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry

1 Single chamber housing
2 Double chamber housing
6. Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan
Note:
Solid cores as well as exible cores with wire end sleeves are inserted directly into the terminal openings. In case of exible cores without
end sleeves, press the terminal from above with a small screwdriver,
the terminal opening is then free. When the screwdriver is released,
the terminal closes again.
7. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on
them
8. Connect the shielding to the internal ground terminal, connect the
external ground terminal to potential equalisation

Parameterization example
VEGABAR 87 always measures pressure independently of the pro-
cess variable selected in the menu item " Application". To output the
selected process variable correctly, an allocation of the output signal
to 0 % and 100 % must be carried out (adjustment).
During adjustment, the pressure is entered e.g. for the level with full
and empty vessel, see following example:
100%
2
")
2 m
(78.74
0%
1
Fig. 9: Parameter adjustment example Min./max. adjustment, level measurement
1 Min. level = 0 % corresponds to 0.0 mbar
2 Max. level = 100 % corresponds to 196.2 mbar
If these values are not known, an adjustment with lling levels of e.g.
10 % and 90 % is also possible. By means of these settings, the real
lling height is then calculated.
The real product level during the adjustment is not important, because
the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without changing the
product level. These settings can be made ahead of time without the
instrument having to be installed.

Activate Bluetooth
Make sure that the Bluetooth function of the display and adjustment
module is activated. For this, the switch on the bottom side must be
set to " On".

Change sensor PIN
18
The security concept of Bluetooth operation absolutely requires that
the default setting of the sensor PIN be changed. This prevents unauthorized access to the sensor.
The default setting of the sensor PIN is " 0000". First of all you have
to change the sensor PIN in the adjustment menu of the sensor, e.g.
to " 1111":
1. Go to setup via the extended operation
2. Lock operation by changing sensor PIN
46328-EN-210430
3. Enable operation by entering the sensor PIN once more
VEGABAR 87 • Probus PA
Preparations
6 Set up with smartphone/tablet, PC/notebook via Bluetooth
After entering the changed sensor PIN once again, sensor operation is enabled again. For access (authentication) with Bluetooth, the
changed PIN is still eective.
Information:
Bluetooth communication functions only if the actual sensor PIN differs from the default setting " 0000".
6.2 Connecting
Smartphone/Tablet
Start the adjustment app and select the function "Setup". The smartphone/tablet searches automatically for Bluetooth-capable instruments in the area.
PC/Notebook
Start PACTware and the VEGA project assistant. Select the device
search via Bluetooth and start the search function. The device auto-
matically searches for Bluetooth-capable devices in the vicinity.

The message " Instrument search running" is displayed. All devices
found are listed in the operating window. The search is automatically
continued continuously.
Select in the device list the requested device. The message " Con-
necting" is displayed.
For the rst connection, the operating device and the sensor must
authenticate each other. After successful authentication, the next con-
nection functions without authentication.
For authentication, enter in the next menu window the 4-digit sensor
PIN.
