1.1 Function and configuration
Function
VEGADIF 34 … 51 differential pressure transmitters are an efficient, modular instrument
series for differential pressure, level and flow
measurement.
The sensor element of VEGADIF 34 and 44 is
a single-chamber ceramic measuring cell. It
consists of a disk-shaped ceramic body with
ceramic diaphragms on both sides. According to the pressure the diaphragms move and
the capacitances change. The difference of
the individual capacitances is reciprocally
proportional to the difference of the pressures.
The sensor element of VEGADIF 35, 45 and 51
is a silicium plate with pressure sensitive resistors. The differential pressure to be measured is received via separating diaphragms
and transmitted to the sensor element via
incompressible oil (silicone oil or inert oil). The
silicium plate moves according to the differential pressure. The values of the resistors
change (piezoresistive principle).
The capacitance or resistance values are
detected by the integral electronics and converted into a 4 … 20 mA output signal. This
output signal is proportional to the difference
of the pressures. Precise digital processing of
measured data with maximum resolution ensures excellent technical performance.
The external power supply is provided via a
separate supply instrument, e.g.:
- power supply instrument
(e.g. VEGASTAB 690)
- processing unit with integral direct voltage
source (e.g. active DCS-input)
- VEGAMET series 500 or 600 signal conditioning instrument, VEGALOG 571 processing system or VEGADIS 371 indicating
instrument
Configuration
Each VEGADIF consists of only two modular
components:
- the electronics housing
- the measuring cell housing.
Sensor specific data are permanently stored
in an ASIC in the sensor. Hence the measuring
cell modules can be changed, e.g. ceramic for
silicium and vice versa. The electronics can be
changed, e.g. from 4 … 20 mA standard to
4 … 20 mA with HART®-communication protocol, without dismounting the transmitter.
The electronics in the pressure transmitter
requires a supply voltage of 11.5 … 45 V DC.

2.1 Verifying operating conditions
VEGADIF is a rugged transmitter for precise
differential pressure, level and flow measurement. The accuracy of the measurement
mainly depends on the correct installation and
the connection of the impulse lines.
Detailed information for differential pressure
measurement in aggressive products as well
as further information on wiring and coordination of valves, measuring lines and components is given in the VDI/VDE-regulations 3512
as well as DIN 19 201 and DIN 1952. Further
information on level measurement is stated in
the VDI/VDE-regulations 3519.
The differential pressure transmitter used
must meet the technical and safety requirements of the application. Therefore check from
the type plate, calibration plate and order
code the following data:
Nominal pressure
The pressure stage rating of VEGADIF must
be above the operating pressure of the process.
Measuring range
The measuring range is calibrated (factory
set) acc. to the order. The pressure values
adjusted for zero and span are documented
on the calibration plate. The values must cover
the application. If an adaptation is necessary,
this should be carried out acc. to section
4 Setup.
Materials of wetted parts
The material of the wetted parts must be sufficiently resistant. Use the respective material
tables for control. A table is given in the product information to VEGADIF, for more information we recommend the VEGA-resistance lists.
Ambient temperature
The ambient temperature in the installation
place must be in the range of -40°C … +85°C.
The surface temperature of the electronics
housing must not exceed +85°C. Hence it
should be noted that the electronics housing
should not be heated to more than +85°C due
to radiation by neighbouring instruments or
systems. If temperatures below -40°C are
expected at the installation, the transmitter
should be installed in a temperature isolated
and heated protection box. If there is danger
that measured product or condensate freezes
in the process connection or on the measuring
cell, the transmitter must be installed in a
warmer place or in a heated protection box for
process connections and process seals.
Similar measures should be taken to protect
the impulse lines.
Medium temperature
The permissible medium temperature depends on the process seal, the measuring cell
and the isolating liquid. When VEGADIF 45 or
51 are used, note that the product temperature can differ between plus and minus side.
Moisture
Mount horizontally installed instruments such
that the cable entry points to the bottom to
avoid moisture ingress. The sensor housing is
therefore rotational by approx. 350°. For vertically installed instruments loop the connection
lines in a bow pointing to the bottom to the
instrument housing, so that rain or condensation
water can drain off the cable. This is mainly
valid for mounting outside, in humid areas (e.g.
by cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated
vessels.
VEGADIF 34 … 5121
Mounting
2.2 Pre-installation
Selection of the installation location
The selection of a suitable installation location
under extreme ambient conditions is needed
for
- quality of the measurement
- a long lifetime of the transmitter
- low maintenance expenses.
Note the following regulations:
Installation level
• For level measurements install below the
minimum level (the diaphragm or the isolating diaphragm must be completely covered).
• For measurement of gases, install transmit-
ter above the pressure tapping points.
• For the measurement of vapours and liq-
uids, install transmitter below the pressure
tapping points.
Mounting locations
• Mount the transmitter as near as possible to
the pressure tapping points.
• Keep impulse lines as short as possible.
• Mounting and maintenance work should be
carried out without obstruction.
• The transmitter, the tapping points, the
impulse lines and the valves should be
easily accessible.
• If available, the mounting place should provide a good view to the LC-display.
Adaptation of the transmitter
For optimum adaptation of your VEGADIF to
the installation place the following measures
can be carried out:
Rotate the electronics housing
After loosening the locking screw below the
electronics housing, the housing can be rotated by approx. 330°. A stop prevents further
turning. Hence the terminal compartment can
be set to an optimum position for cable entry
or the LC-display into an optimum reading
position.
Fig. 2.1 Loosen the locking screw
When the best position is reached, tighten the
locking screw again.
Ambient influences
• Keep the vibration and shock effect to a
minimum.
• Avoid corrosive ambient atmosphere.
• Reduce condensation to a minimum.
Note:
Under arduous ambient conditions, a protective housing is recommended.
