1.1 Function and configuration
VEGASEL 643 auxiliary level switch is a build-in instru-
ment with terminal socket, suitable for carrier rail
mounting (DIN 46 277). Together with a sensor or a
VEGAMET… signal conditioning instrument it is used
for level detection.
Typical applications are two-point controls, e.g. pump
controls (ON/OFF) and monitoring functions such as
overfill protection and protection against dry running of
pumps.
The auxiliary level switch is provided with two passive
inputs, a current and a voltage input as well as addi-
tionally with an active current input. Hence VEGASEL
643 can be connected for control either with a
VEGAMET… or a sensor (4 … 20 mA).
Function
VEGASEL 643, controlled by a VEGAMET…
- The continuous current or voltage course of the
VEGAMET… signal processing instrument is
processed into a switching command.

Sensor
(4 … 20 mA)
VEGASEL 643 with a 4 … 20 mA sensor
- VEGASEL 643 auxiliary level switch powers via the
active current input the sensors and processes its
continuous 4 … 20 mA current signal into a switch-
ing command.
In both cases a relay output is available for process-
ing.
Configuration
With a VEGASEL 643 an available measuring system,
consisting of sensor and VEGAMET signal condition-
ing instrument can be extended by a level detection.
Or an own measuring system can be created with a
4 … 20 mA sensor.
1.2 Approvals
If measuring systems are created according to the
following approvals, the respective legal documents
and their regulations have to be observed. These
documents are supplied with the respective measur-
ing system.
WHG-approval, VbF-approval

measuring system (sensor and VEGAMET) as part of
an overfill protection acc. to WHG (test certificate

Product description

VEGASEL 643 7
Mounting
Each series 600 signal conditioning instrument con-
sists of a terminal socket for carrier rail mounting DIN
46 277 and a module instrument.
The supply voltage can be connected to terminals 9
and 10.
For neighbouring series 600 signal conditioning
instruments it is possible to provide and loop the
connection L1 and N directly via the supplied bridges.
The same is valid for the connection VEGAMET-
voltage output 0 … 10 V to VEGASEL-voltage input
0 … 10 V /terminals 7 and 8).
Note, danger!
Never use the bridges with single instrument or at the
end of an instrument row. They may come in touch
with the operating voltage or cause a shortcircuit.
Coding
The terminal socket must be provided with pins and
the signal conditioning instrument with appropriate
gaps (mechanical coding) to avoid interchanging of
the individual signal conditioning instruments.
An instrument coding ensures that interchanging
among the signal conditioning instruments is avoided
by differently positioned coded keys.

3.1 Wiring instruction
The following wiring plan and the extension examples
1 and 2 are valid for standard as well as for Ex-ver-
sions of the signal conditioning instruments. Please
note the following instructions:
- the relay contact is shown in unpressurized
condition
- if strong electromagnetic interferences are ex-
pected, we recommend to use screened cable for
the signal lines
- the screening must only be earthed at one sensor
side
- in case of overvoltages we recommend the use of
VEGA-overvoltage arresters
- the connection must be made according to the
appropriate national installation standards (e.g. in
Germany according to VDE-regulations).

Electrical connection
Extension example 1
Instrument 1: VEGASEL 643 actively switched
Instrument 2 up to max. instrument 5: VEGASEL 643 passively switched
Note:
The voltage inputs (7, 8) must not be used when the current inputs are switched.
Extension example 2
Instrument 1: VEGAMET 601 or 602 Ex
Instrument 2 up to max. instrument 10: VEGASEL 643 each switched to passive voltage input (parallel switching)
Note:
Current inputs (3, 4) must not be used when the voltage inputs are switched.
According to the extension examples it is possible to control several signal conditioning instruments with one
sensor and hence to detect different levels.
This kind of switching can be extended each up to 5 or 10 instruments.
