3.1 Conguration
The scope of delivery encompasses:
• Electronics module VEGACAL series 60
• Documentation
– This operating instructions manual
3.2 Principle of operation
The electronics module CL 60 is suitable for exchange with capacitive
sensors VEGACAL series 60.
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 of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly, recyclable cardboard. 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
• Storage and transport temperature see chapter "Supplement -
Technical data - Ambient conditions"
• Relative humidity 20 … 85 %
With an instrument weight of more than 18 kg (39.68 lbs) suitable and
approved equipment must be used for lifting and carrying.

4.1 General instructions
If the electronics module is defective, it can be replaced by the user.
In Ex applications, only instruments and electronics modules with ap-
propriate 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 fac-
tory data of the sensor.These are the options:
• At the factory by VEGA
• Or on site by the user
Information:
Whenloadingonsite,theorderdatamustrstbedownloadedfrom
the Internet (see "Setup").
In both cases, the sensor serial number is necessary.The serial num-
bers are stated on the type label of the instrument, inside the housing
or on the delivery note.
Caution:
The order data and factory data contain important presettings for the
sensor. Reliable operation and correct measurement are not possible
without these data.
Electronicsmodulesareadaptedtotherespectivesensor.Theydier,
e.g. in the signal output, the power supply or approval.
First of all check by means of the overview in chapter "Mounting prep-
arations", if you are using the suitable electronics module. Compare
thenewelectronicsmodulewiththeexistingone.Thespecications
on the type label must correspond. This applies mainly to instruments
with approvals.
Warning:
Switchovoltagesupplybeforestartingtheinstallationprocedure.
The replacement electronics may only be installed when the sensor is
in a de-energised state. Non-observance will damage the electron-
ics!

Caution:
In Ex applications only one instrument and one electronics module
withrespectiveExapprovalmaybeused.Checkthespecicationson
the type label.
4.3 Installation procedure
The electronics module is located in the electronics compartment.
The below illustrations show the respective position of the electronics
compartment in a single or double chamber housing.

If you have ordered the electronics module by stating the sensor
serial number, it is ready for operation after installation and connec-
tion to power supply.
If you ordered the electronics module without stating the sensor
serial number or you are using a suitable electronics module from
stock,yourst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specicationsshouldbecorrect,youhavetoentertheserial
number.
Move to "www.vega.com", "Instrument search (serial number)". 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nd"Sensor data for Service-DTM" as
XMLle.Loadthisle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 elec-
tronics module, such as min./max. adjustment etc., must be repeated.
Tip:
To do this, use the copy function of the display and adjustment mod-
ule or the adjustment software PACTware.
5.2 Setup - 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dierent(approx.5%),it
can be necessary to carry out an adjustment on the signal condition-
ing instrument after having exchanged the electronics.
