4Mounting
4.1General instructions
If the electronics module is defective,it can be replaced by the user.
InEx applications only one instrument and one electronics module with
respective Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site,one can be ordered
from the VEGA agency serving you.
The new electronics module must be loaded with the order and factory
data of the sensor.These are the options:
lAt the factory by VEGA
lOr on site by the user
Information:
When loading on site,first of all the order data must be downloaded
from the Internet (see "Setup").
In both cases,the sensor serial number is necessary.The serial
numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument,inside the
housing or on the delivery note.
Caution:
The order data and company data contain important presettings for the
sensor.Areliable operation and a correction of the measurement is
not possible without these data.
Electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor.They differ,
e.g.in the signal output,the power supply or approval.
First of all check by means of the overview in section Mounting
preparations,if you are using the suitable electronics module.
Compare the new electronics module with the existing one.The
specifications on the type label must correspond.This applies mainly
to instruments with approvals.
Warning:
Switch offvoltage supply before starting the mounting procedure.The
replacement electronics must only be mounted in idle condition.Non-
observance will damage the electronics!

Caution:
InEx applications only one instrument and one electronics module with
respective Ex approval may be used.Check the specifications on the
type label.
4.3Mounting steps
The electronics module is located in the electronics compartment.The

5Setup
5.1Setup -Electronics 4…20 mA,Profibus PA,
Foundation Fieldbus
If you have ordered the electronics module by stating the sensor
serial number,it is ready for operation after installation and
connection to power supply.
If you have ordered the electronics module without stating the
sensor serial number or you are using a suitable electronics module
from stock,you first have to load the sensor data after installation.
In general,the sensor with the new electronics module is ready for
operation.However,the sensor name is "VEGACAL 62"(presetting)
and the serial number is not entered correctly.
If these specifications should be correct,you have to enter the serial
number.
Move via www.vega.com to the item "serial number search".After
entering the serial number,the order data of the sensor are displayed.
The serial number is also available directly from VEGA.
Below the order data you will find "Sensor data for Service-DTM"as
XML file.Load this file with "Save as"on your PC and transfer it then
via PACTware and the Service DTM to the sensor.
As a rule,settings already carried out on site with the previous
electronics module such as min./max.adjustment etc., however must
be repeated.
Tip:
Simply use the copy function of the adjustment module PLICSCOM or
the adjustment software PACTware.
5.2Setup -electronics with signal conditioning
instrument
Set all adjustment elements on the new electronics module to the
settings of the old module.
Since the electronics modules are slightly different (approx.5%), it
can be necessary to carry out an adjustment on the signal conditioning
instrument after having exchanged the electronics.
