Information:
In this operating instructions manual, the optional instrument features
are also described.The actual range of functions is determined by the
orderspecication.
3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGADIS 82 is suitable as measured value indication with
4 … 20 mA current loops. The instrument can be connected at any
point to the 4 … 20 mA signal cable. Separate, external energy is not
required.
The VEGADIS 82 is also suitable for use in a 4 … 20 mA/HART
currentloop.TheHARTsignalisnotinuenced,howeverasensors
parameter adjustment is not possible.
The measured value indication is carried out in the VEGADIS 82
integrated in the display and adjustment module.
The VEGADIS 82 is suitable for connection to any 4 … 20 mA sensor.
The instrument is particularly designed for:
• VEGAPULS WL 61
• VEGAWELL 52
ThehousingofVEGADIS82containsalterelementforventilation.
The instrument is thus also used for atmospheric pressure compen-
sation for a submersible pressure transmitter.
The VEGADIS 82 can also be used as an external indicating device
for any four-wire sensor or a VEGAMET signal conditioning instru-
ment with active 4 … 20 mA output.

4.1 General instructions
VEGADIS 82 functions in any installation position.
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
measures:
• Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply")
• Tighten the cable gland
• Whenmountinghorizontally,turnthehousingsothatthecable
gland points downward
• Loop the connection cable downward in front of the cable gland
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high
humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled
or heated vessels.

5 Connecting to power supply
5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
Warning:
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage.
• The electrical connection must only be carried out by trained
personnel authorised by the plant operator.
• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed.
Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire
cable.Thevoltagesupplyrangecandierdependingonthesensor.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
Make sure that the supply circuits are separated from the mains
circuits and of an energy-limited voltage supply, e.g. of "Class 2" (acc.
to UL 1310, NEC 725 or CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 223), according to inter-
nationallyharmonizedstandardIEC61010-1.
Keepinmindthefollowingadditionalfactorsthatinuencetheoperat-
ing voltage:
• Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under nomi-
nal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA resp. 22 mA in case of
fault message)
• Voltage loss on the VEGADIS 82 (see supply circuit in chapter
"Technical data")
Youcanndinformationontheloadresistanceinchapter"Technical
data", (voltage supply of the respective sensor)
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, screened cable should
be used.
Usecablewithroundcross-section.Toensurethesealeectofthe
cablegland(IPprotectionrating),ndoutwhichcableouterdiameter
thecableglandissuitablefor.Useacableglandttingthecable
diameter.
Youcanndanoverviewofthecableglandsinchapter"Technical
data".
Metric threads
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT thread
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The

free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
On plastic housings, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed into the threaded insert without grease.
Max. torque for all housings, see chapter "Technical data".
If screened cable is necessary, we recommend connecting the cable
screen on both ends to ground potential. In the VEGADIS 82, the
screen should be connected directly to the internal ground terminal.
In Ex systems it must be ensured that the grounding complies with the
installation regulations.
In electroplating plants as well as plants for cathodic corrosion protec-
tionitmustbetakenintoaccountthatsignicantpotentialdierences
exist. This can lead to unacceptably high currents in the cable screen
if it is grounded at both ends.
5.2 Connection technology and steps
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 lid
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 gland and remove blind
plug
4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry

external ground terminal to potential equalisation
9. Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry gland. The seal
ring must completely encircle the cable
