3.2Principle of operation
VEGABAR 65 is a pressure transmitter for use in the chemical,food
processing and pharmaceutical industries.Depending on the version,
it is used for level,gauge,absolute pressure or vacuum measurement.
Measured products are gases,vapours and liquids,also those with
higher temperatures.
The METEC
®
measuring cell is the measuring unit.It consists of the
ceramic-capacitive CERTEC
®
measuring cell and a special,temper-
ature-compensating isolating system.
The hydrostatic pressure of the product or the process pressure
causes a capacitance change in the measuring cell via the metal
process diaphragm and the isolating liquid.This change is converted
into a corresponding output signal.
Power supply via the Profibus DP/PA segment coupler or VEGALOG
571 EP cards.Atwo-wire cable according to Profibus specification
serves as carrier of both power and digital data transmission for
multiple sensors.The instrument profile of VEGABAR 65 corresponds
to profile specification version 3.0.
The GSD (instrument master files)and bitmap files necessary for
planning your Profibus-DP-(PA)communication network are available
from the download section on the VEGA homepage www.vega.com
under "Services -Downloads -Software -Profibus".There you can
also find the appropriate certificates.In a PDM environment,an EDD
(Electronic Device Description)is also required to enable the full range
of sensor functions (also available as a download).A CD with the
appropriate files can be ordered via e-mail under [e-mail] or
by phone from one of the VEGA agencies under the order number
"DRIVER.S".

4.1General instructions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument in contact with the measured
product,especially the sensor element,process seal and process
fitting,are suitable for the existing process conditions such as process
pressure,process temperature as well as the chemical properties of
the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data"in the or on
the type label.
Caution:
After removal of the diaphragm protective cover,the diaphragm must
not be pressed.
Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and
connecting as well as later retrofitting of an indicating and adjustment
module.The housing can be rotated by 330°without the use of any
tools.You can also install the indicating and adjustment module in four
different positions (each displaced by 90°).
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply")and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry.Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g.through cleaning processes)or
on cooled or heated vessels.

Information:
Make sure that the filter elements are always free of buildup during
operation.Apressure washer must not be used for cleaning.
With instrument versions in protection IP 66/IP 68,1bar,the ventilation
is realised via the capillaries in the fix connected cable.The filter
elements are replaced by blind stoppers.
Higher process temperatures often mean also higher ambient
temperatures.Make sure that the upper temperature limits stated in
chapter "Technical data"for the environment of the electronics housing
and connection cable are not exceeded.

5Connecting to power supply
5.1Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
lConnect only in the complete absence of line voltage
lIf overvoltage surges are expected,overvoltage arresters should
be installed according to Profibus specifications
Tip:
We recommend VEGA overvoltage arrester B63-32.
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations,conformity and type approval certificates of the sensors
and power supply units.
Power is supplied via a Profibus DP/PA segment coupler or a
VEGALOG 571 EP input card.The power supply range can differ
depending on the instrument version.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
Connection is made with screened cable according to the Profibus
specification.Power supply and digital bus signal are carried over the
same two-wire connection cable.
Use cable with round cross-section.Acable outer diameter of 5…9mm
(0.2…0.35 in)ensures the seal effect of the cable gland.If you are
using cable with a different diameter or cross-section,exchange the
seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Please make sure that your installation is carried out according to the
Profibus specification.In particular,make sure that the termination of
the bus is done with appropriate terminating resistors.
On the instrument with cable entry ½NPT and plastic housing there is
a metallic ½" threaded insert moulded into the plastic housing.
Caution:
No grease should be used when screwing the NPT cable gland or
steel tube into the threaded insert.Standard grease can contain
additives that corrode the connection between threaded insert and
housing.This would influence the stability of the connection and the
tightness of the housing.

5Connecting to power supply
28253-EN-081209

In systems with potential equalisation,connect the cable screen
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit,in the connection
box and at the sensor.The screen in the sensor must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal.The ground terminal outside on
the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low
impedance).
In systems without potential equalisation,connect the cable screen
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit and at the sensor.
In the connection box or T-distributor,the screen of the short stub to
the sensor must not be connected to ground potential or to another
cable screen.The cable screens to the power supply unit and to the
next distributor must be connected to each other and also connected
to ground potential via a ceramic capacitor (e.g.1nF,1500 V). The low
frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed,but the
protective effect against high frequency interference signals remains.
The total capacitance of the cable and of all capacitors must not exceed
10 nFin Ex applications.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications.In particular,make sure that no potential equalisation
currents flow over the cable screen.In case of grounding on both sides
this can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential
equalisation.
5.2Connection procedure
Proceed as follows:
1Unscrew the housing cover
2If an indicating and adjustment module is installed,remove it by
turning it slightly to the left.
3Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
4Remove approx.10 cm of the cable mantle,strip approx.1cm
