2 For your safety
2.1 Authorised personnel
All operations described in this documentation must be carried out
onlybytrained,qualiedpersonnelauthorisedbytheplantoperator.
During work on and with the device, the required personal protective
equipment must always be worn.
2.2 Appropriate use
The components described in this manual are replacement compo-
nentsforexistingsensors.
2.3 Approvals
If the instrument comes with approvals, the associated approval
documents of the sensor must always be noted. They are included
with the delivery but can also be downloaded under www.vega.com
via " VEGA Tools" and " Search" as well as via " Downloads" and "
Approvals".
2.4 Environmental instructions
Protection of the environment is one of our most important duties.
That is why we have introduced an environment management system
with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro-
tection.Theenvironmentmanagementsystemiscertiedaccording
to DIN EN ISO 14001.
Pleasehelpusfullthisobligationbyobservingtheenvironmental

3.1 Conguration
The scope of delivery encompasses:
• Supplementary electronics for PROTRAC sensors
• Documentation
– This operating instructions manual
– Ifnecessary,furthercerticates
3.2 Principle of operation
The supplementary electronics module PT30ZE is a replacement
module for PROTRAC sensors with double chamber housing:
• FIBERTRAC
• SOLITRAC
• MINITRAC
• POINTRAC
• WEIGHTRAC
The supplementary electronics for PROTRAC sensors is used for
connection of a sensor with double chamber housing to the signal
cable.
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
based on ISO 4180.
The packaging consists of environment-friendly, recyclable card-
board. 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 in due 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 con-
cealed 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:
• Not in the open
• Dry and dust free
• Notexposedtocorrosivemedia
• Protected against solar radiation
• Avoiding mechanical shock and vibration

6 Dismount
6.1 Dismounting steps
Warning:
Before dismounting, be aware of dangerous process conditions such
as e.g. pressure in the vessel or pipeline, high temperatures, cor-
rosiveortoxicmediaetc.
Take note of chapters " Mounting" and " Connecting to voltage sup-
ply" and carry out the listed steps in reverse order.
6.2 Disposal
The instrument consists of materials which can be recycled by spe-
cialised recycling companies. We use recyclable materials and have
