3Product description
3.1Configuration
This operating instructions manual applies to the following hardware
and software versions of the indicating and adjustment module:
lHardware from 1.0.0
lSoftware from 1.0.0
The indicating/adjustment module consists of a display with full dot
matrix as well as four keys for adjustment.
Abackground lighting is optionally integrated and can be adjusted via
the adjustment menu.
The display can be optionally equipped with heating to ensure good
readability at low temperatures down to -40 °C(-40 °F).
The scope of delivery encompasses:
lIndicating and adjustment module
lDocumentation
-this operating instructions manual
-Supplementary instructions manual 31708 "Heating for in-
dicating and adjustment module"(optional)
3.2Principle of operation
The indicating and adjustment module is used for measured value
indication,adjustment,and diagnostics for the following VEGA plics
®
sensors:
lVEGAPULS series 60
lVEGAFLEX series 60
lVEGASON series 60
lVEGABAR series 50 and 60
lVEGACAL series 60
The indicating and adjustment module is mounted in the sensor
housing.After installation,the sensor as well as the indicating and
adjustment module are splash-proof,even without housing cover.
Another installation possibility is the external indicating and adjustment
unit VEGADIS 61.The operation of two indicating and adjustment
module in parallel in the sensor and in VEGADIS 61 however is not
supported.
The functional range of the indicating and adjustment module is
determined by the sensr and corresponds to the respective software
version of the sensor.
Power is supplied directly by the respective sensor or by VEGADIS 61.
An additional connection is not necessary.

The backlight is also powered by the sensor or via VEGADIS 61.
Prerequisite for this is a supply voltage at a certain level.The exact
voltage specifications can be found in the operating instructions
manual of the respective sensor.
The optional heating requires its own power supply.You can find
further details in the supplementary instructions manual "Heating for
indicating and adjustment module".
3.3Packaging,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 environment-
