3.1 Conguration
This operating instructions manual applies to electronics modules in
instruments with the following hardware and software versions:
• Hardware from 1.0.0
• Software from 1.0.0
The scope of delivery encompasses:
• Electronics module
• Documentation
– This operating instructions manual
– Ex-specic"Safety instructions" (with Ex versions)
– Ifnecessary,furthercerticates
3.2 Principle of operation
The electronics module " Main electronics" is a replacement module
for the sensor VEGAPULS 6X two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART.
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 consists of environment-friendly, recyclable card-
board. 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 %

4.1 General instructions
We recommended installing the electronics module with the instru-
ment dismounted and brought to a suitable place, e.g. a workshop. If it
is not possible to dismount the instrument, the electronics module can
also be installed on site at the measuring point.
Warning:
Switchovoltagesupplybeforestartingtheinstallationprocedure.
The electronics module may only be installed when the sensor is in a
de-energised state. Non-observance will damage the electronics!
For sensors with Ex approval, make sure that the replacement elec-
tronics module has the same designation as the exchanged electron-
ics module.
4.2 Mounting preparations
The main electronics is mounted into the electronics compartment
and are adapted to the respective sensor. Make sure that you are us-
ing a replacement electronics suitable for the instrument.

5 Setup
5.1 Setup preparations
After installing the new electronics module and connecting it to the
power supply, the device is ready for the setup steps.
SIL-qualieddevicesareinthelockedstate,thesettingsarenot
checked and notveried.Initialsetupfollowedbyvericationand
locking is required.
The device is ready for the setup steps after the new electronics
module has been installed and connected to the power supply - but
without the device data of the delivery status.
However, if the data should be available for operation, you must load
it into the electronic module after installation.
Proceed as follows:
1. Entertheserialnumberofthedeviceinthesearcheldonour
homepage
2. In the displayed order data of the device, go to " Device-related
documents"
3. DownloadXMLle"DTM conguration le" by clicking here
4. Transferthisletothedevicevia"PACTware/DTM", " Mainte-
nance/Electronics exchange"
SIL-qualieddevicesareinthelockedstate,thesettingsarenot
checked and notveried.Initialsetupfollowedbyvericationand
locking is required.
5.2 Setup steps
If the instrument is used in the same application after the electronics
exchange, the previous parameter settings of the instrument must be
restored.You can use the import function of the adjustment software
PACTware with the device DTMs or the copy function of the display
and adjustment module.
Note:
It is recommended to recreated an existing false signal suppression
after an electronics exchange. If this is not possible, for example,
becausethevesselislled,thefalsesignalsuppressioncanbe
imported also via the DTM. However, the false signal suppression
should be updated or recreated next time when the vessel is empty.

6.1 Dismounting steps
To remove the device, carry out the steps in chapters " Mounting" and
" Connecting to power suplly" in reverse.
Warning:
When dismounting, pay attention to the process conditions in vessels
or pipelines.There is a risk of injury, e.g. due to high pressures or tem-
peratures as well as aggressive or toxic media. Avoid this by taking
appropriate protective measures.
6.2 Disposal
Pass the instrument on to a specialised recycling company and do not
use the municipal collecting points.
Remove any batteries in advance, if they can be removed from the
device, and dispose of them separately.
If personal data is stored on the old device to be disposed of, delete it
before disposal.
If you have no way to dispose of the old instrument properly, please
contact us concerning return and disposal.
