2.2 Appropriate use
VEGAWELL 72 is a suspension pressure transmitter for level
and gauge measurement.
You can find detailed information on the application range in
chapter "Product description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is
properly used according to the specifications in the operating
instructions manual as well as possible supplementary
instructions.
For safety and warranty reasons, any invasive work on the
device beyond that described in the operating instructions
manual may be carried out only by personnel authorised by the
manufacturer. Arbitrary conversions or modifications are
explicitly forbidden.
2.3 Warning about misuse
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to
application-specific hazards, e.g. vessel overfill or damage to
system components through incorrect mounting or adjustment.
2.4 General safety instructions
This is a high-tech instrument requiring the strict observance of
standard regulations and guidelines. The user must take note
of the safety instructions in this operating instructions manual,
the country-specific installation standards as well as all
prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules.

2 For your safety
During the entire duration of use, the user
must make sure that
the occupational safety measures taken always comply with
current valid policy as well as new regulations.
2.5 Safety approval markings and safety tips
The safety approval markings and safety tips on the device
must be observed.
2.6 CE conformity
VEGAWELL 72 is in CE conformity with EMC (89/336/EWG)
and LVD (73/23/EWG).
Conformity has been judged according to the following
standards:
l EMC:
- Emission EN 61326: 1997/A1: 1998 (class B)
- Susceptibility EN 61326: 1997/A1:1998
l LVD: EN 61010-1: 1993
2.7 Fulfilling
of NAM
With respect to interference resistance and emitted interference, the NAMUR recommendation NE 21 is fulfilled.
With respect to compatibility, the NAMUR recommendation
NE 53 is fulfilled. This applies also to the corresponding
indicating and adjustment components. VEGA instruments are
generally upward and downward compatible.
l Sensor software for DTM VEGAWELL 72 HART
l DTM
VEGAWELL 72 for adjustment software PACTware
The parameter adjustment of the basic sensor functions is
independent of the software version. The range of available
functions depends on the respective software version of the
individual components.
The software version of the instrument can be read out via
PACTware.

3.2 Principle of
operation
VEGAWELL 72 is used for level and gauge measurement in
wells, basins and atmospherically open vessels particularly in
the water/waste water industry as well as in the shipbuilding
industry.
The
1)
actual sensor element is the CERTEC
®
measuring cell
with rugged ceramic diaphragm. The hydrostatic pressure
causes a capacitance change in the measuring cell via the
ceramic diaphragm. This change is converted into an
appropriate output signal.
Two-wire electronics 4 … 20 mA/HART for power supply and
measured value transmission over the same cable.
The supply voltage range can differ depending on the
instrument version.
Data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical
data".
3.3 Operation
VEGAWELL 72 - 4 … 20 mA/HART can be adjusted with
different adjustment media:
l with external adjustment/indication VEGADIS 12
l an adjustment software according to FDT/DTM stan
e.g. PACTware and PC
l With a HART handheld
The
type of adjustment and the adjustment options depend on
the selected adjustment component. The entered parameters
are generally saved in the respective sensor, when adjusting
with PACTware™ and PC optionally also in the PC.
