3.1 Structure

The scope of delivery encompasses:

l Electronics module for VEGACAP series 60 (CP60)
l Documentation

- this operating instructions manual

3.2 Principle of operation

The electronics module CP60 is suitable for replacement in VEGACAP
series 60 capacitive level switches.

3.3 Packaging, transport and storage

Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.

The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment­friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE foil
is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.

Transport must be carried out under consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.

The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or
concealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.

Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.

Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:

l Not in the open
l Dry and dust free
l Not exposed to corrosive media
l Protected against solar radiation
l Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration

l Storage and transport temperature see chapter "Supplement -

Technical data - Ambient conditions"

l Relative humidity 20 … 85 %

4.1 Instructions for installation

If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.

In Ex

applications only one instrument and one electronics module with

respective Ex approval may be used.

4.2 Mounting preparations

In general, all electronics modules of series CP60 can be inter-
changed. If you want to use an electronics module with a different
signal output, you can download the corresponding operating
instructions manual from our homepage under Downloads.

4.3 Mounting steps

To exchange the electronics module, proceed as follows:

1 Switch off power supply

2 Unscrew the housing cover

3 Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver

4 Pull the connection cables out of the terminals

5 Loosen the two screws with a screw driver (Torx size T10 or slot 4)

6 Pull out the old electronics module

7 Compare the new electronics module with the old one. The type

label of the electronics module must correspond to that of the old
electronics module. This applies particularly to instruments used in
hazardous areas.

8 Compare

the settings of the two electronics modules. Set the

adjustment elements of the new electronics module to the same
setting of the old one.

Information:

Make sure that the housing is not rotated during the electronics
exchange. Otherwise the plug may be in a different position later.

9 Insert the electronics module carefully. Make sure that the plug is

in the correct position.

10 Screw in the two holding screws and tighten them

11 Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to the wiring

plan

12 Press down the opening levers of the terminals, you will hear the

terminal spring closing

13 Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on

them

14 Check cable gland on tightness. The seal ring must completely

encircle the cable.

15 Mount the probe into the vessel. Make sure that the probe is

uncovered.

16 Push the measuring range selection switch (1) as long as the

control lamp (2) flashes green.

17 Hence the probe is compensated to the modified length.

18 Carry out the adjustment again. See chapter "Set-up, adjustment

elements".

19 Screw the housing cover back on

The electronics exchange is now finished.

As a rule, an exchange of electronics must be documented internally
when Ex applications are involved.
