1.1 Authorised personnel
All operations described in this operating instructions manual must
be carried out only by trained specialist personnel authorised by the
plant operator.
During work on and with the device the required personal protective
equipment must always be worn.
1.2 Appropriate use
The VEGABAR 82 is a pressure transmitter for process pressure and
hydrostatic level measurement.
Yo u cannddetailedinformationontheapplicationrangeinchapter
"Product description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly
usedaccordingtothespecicationsintheoperatinginstructions
manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
1.3 Warning about incorrect use
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to

radiatedemissionsmustbetakenintoaccount,asisusualwithclass
A instruments according to EN 61326-1. If the instrument is used in
adierentenvironment,theelectromagneticcompatibilitytoother
instruments must be ensured by suitable measures.
1.6 Measuring range - permissible process
pressure
Thepermissibleprocesspressureisspeciedonthetypelabelwith
"Processpressure",seechapter"Conguration".Forsafetyreasons,
this range may not be exceeded. This applies even if a measuring cell
with a measuring range (order-related) higher than the permissible
pressurerangeoftheprocessttingisinstalled.
1.7 NAMUR recommendations
NAMUR is the automation technology user association in the process
industry in Germany. The published NAMUR recommendations are
acceptedasthestandardineldinstrumentation.
ThedevicefulllstherequirementsofthefollowingNAMURrecom-
mendations:
•NE 21 – Electromagnetic compatibility of equipment
•NE 43 – Signal level for malfunction information from measuring
transducers
•NE53–Compatibilityofelddevicesanddisplay/adjustment
components
•NE107–Self-monitoringanddiagnosisofelddevices
For further information see www.namur.de.
1.8 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llthisobligationbyobservingtheenvironmental
instructions in this manual:

3.1 General instructions for use of the instrument
Protect your instrument against moisture penetration through the fol-
lowing measures:
•Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply")
•Tighten the cable gland
•Turn the housing in such a way that the cable gland points down-
ward
•Loop the connection cable downward in front of the cable gland
This applies particularly to:
•Outdoor mounting
•Installations in areas where high humidity is expected (e.g. through
cleaning processes)
•Installations on cooled or heated vessels
3.2 Ventilation and pressure compensation
Thelterelementismountedintotheelectronicshousing.Ithasthe
following functions:
•Ventilation of the electronics housing
•Atmospheric pressure compensation (with relative pressure meas-
uring ranges)
→ Turnthehousingsothatthelterelementpointsdownwardafter
the instrument is installed. This provides better protection against
buildup.

4 Connecting to power supply
4.1 Connecting
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface
adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Information:
The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the
electronics.To dothis,lifttheterminalblockwithasmallscrewdriver
andpullitout.Whenreinsertingtheterminalblock,youshouldhearit
snap in.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing cover
2. Ifadisplayandadjustmentmoduleisinstalled,removeitbyturn-
ing it slightly to the left.
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable entry gland
4. Removeapprox.10cm(4in)ofthecablemantle,stripapprox.
1cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
Fig. 3: Connection steps 5 and 6 - Single chamber housing
6. Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan
Information:
Solidcoresaswellasexiblecoreswithwireendsleevesareinsert-
eddirectlyintotheterminalopenings.Incaseofexiblecoreswithout
endsleeves,presstheterminalfromabovewithasmallscrewdriver,
theterminalopeningisthenfree.Whenthescrewdriverisreleased,
the terminal closes again.

them
8. Connectthescreentotheinternalgroundterminal,connectthe
outer ground terminal to potential equalisation
9. Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry gland. The seal
ring must completely encircle the cable

5.1 Insert display and adjustment module
The display and adjustment module can be inserted into the sensor
and removed any time. Four positions displaced by 90° can be se-
lected. It is not necessary to interrupt the power supply.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing cover
2. Place the display and adjustment module in the requested posi-
tion onto the electronics and turn to the right until it snaps in
3. Screw housing cover with inspection window tightly back on
Removal is carried out in reverse order.
Thedisplayandadjustmentmoduleispoweredbythesensor,anad-
ditional connection is not necessary.
