3.2 Principle of operation
VEGAMET 625 is a universal signal conditioning instrument for a
number of applications such as level, gauge, interface and process
pressure measurement. At the same time, it can serve as power
supply unit for connected sensors. VEGAMET 625 is designed for
connection of two independent VEGA HART sensors. Hence two
independent measurements can be carried out. By means of a third
measurementloop,thedierencebetweenthetwoinputvaluescan
be calculated.
On instruments with one of the optional interfaces (RS232/Ethernet),
the measured values can be retrieved via modem or network and dis-
played by means of a web browser, Visual VEGA or WEB-VV. It is also
possible to send measured values and messages via e-mail. The use
of VEGAMET 625 is particularly suitable for stocktaking, VMI (Vendor
Managed Inventory) and remote enquiry.
The VEGAMET 625 signal conditioning instrument can power two
HART sensors and process their measured signals via the same
cable.The measured value transmission is carried out via a digital
bus system (HART Multidrop). The requested parameter is displayed
and also sent to the integrated current outputs for further processing.
Hence the measured signal can be transferred to a remote indication
or a superordinate control system. Three level relays for control of
pumps or other actuators are also integrated.
Wide-range power supply unit with 20 … 253 V AC/DC for world-wide
use.
Detailed information about the power supply can be found in chapter
"Technical data".
3.3 Adjustment
The instrument can be adjusted with the following adjustment media:
• With integrated display and adjustment unit
• an adjustment software according to FDT/DTM standard, e.g.
PACTware and a Windows PC
The entered parameters are generally saved in VEGAMET 625, when
used with PACTware and PC also optionally in the PC.
Information:
When using PACTware and the corresponding VEGA DTM, additional
settings can be carried out which are not possible or only partly pos-
sible with the integrated display and adjustment unit. When using an
adjustment software, you either need one of the integrated interfaces
(RS232/Ethernet) or the interface converter VEGACONNECT.

4.1 General instructions
Each series 600 instrument consists of the actual signal conditioning
instrument as well as a plug-in socket for carrier rail mounting (top-
hat rail 35 x 7.5 according to DIN EN 50022/60715). Because it has
protection class IP 30 or IP 20, the instrument is intended to be used
in switching cabinets.
4.2 Mounting instructions
The plug-in socket is designed for carrier rail mounting. The operat-
ing voltage is connected to terminals 17 and 18. For neighbouring
series 600 instruments it is possible to continue connection L1 and
Ndirectlyviathesuppliedbridges.Max.veinstrumentscanbecon-
nected through in this way.
Danger:
Looping through via bridges is only allowed for operating voltage
(sockets L1 and N).The bridges must never be used with single
instruments, at the end of a row of instruments or with other sockets.
If this rule is not heeded, there is a danger of coming into contact with
the operating voltage or causing a short circuit.
A VEGAMET 625 in Ex version is an auxiliary, intrinsically safe instru-
ment and may not be installed in explosion-endangered areas.
Before setup, the Ex separating chamber must be attached (as shown
below) with Ex versions. Safe operation can be only ensured if the
operatinginstructionsmanualandtheEGtypeapprovalcerticate
are observed.VEGAMET 625 must not be opened.
Allsignalconditioninginstrumentsareprovidedwithdierentgaps
dependent on type and version (mechanical coding).
The plug-in socket is provided with coded pins that can be inserted to
prevent accidental interchanging of the various instrument types.
With a VEGAMET 625 in Ex version, the supplied coded pins (type
coded pin and Ex coded pin) must be inserted by the user according
to the below chart.

5 Connecting to power supply
5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
• Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed
Inhazardousareasyoumusttakenoteoftherespectiveregulations,
conformityandtypeapprovalcerticatesofthesensorsandpower
supply units.
Thevoltagesupplycanbe20…253VAC/DC,50/60Hz.
The operating voltage of VEGAMET 625 is connected with standard
cable according to the national installation standards.
Standard two-wire cable can be used for connecting the sensors. The
screening is absolutely necessary to ensure interference-free opera-
tion with HART sensors.
Connect the cable screen on both ends to ground potential. In the
sensor, the screen must be connected directly to the internal ground
terminal. The ground terminal on the outside of the sensor housing
must be connected to the potential equalisation (low impedance).
If potential equalisation currents are expected, the screen connection
on the side of VEGAMET 625 must be made via a ceramic capacitor
(e. g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation currents
arethussuppressed,buttheprotectiveeectagainsthighfrequency
interference signals remains.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex applica-
tions. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisation currents
owoverthecablescreen.Incaseofgroundingonbothsidesthis
can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential
equalisation.
5.2 Connection procedure
Note:
Before the actual setup, each HART sensors must be assigned an
address(addressrange1-15),(seechapter"Setup").Address0
(mode 4 … 20 mA) must not be used. When assigning an address,
only one sensor should be connected to VEGAMET 625. If connec-
tioniscompletedalready,thewiringmustbebrieycancelledfor
addressing. Depending on the installation location of the sensors, it
can be advantageous to carry out this addressing before installing
and connecting the sensors.This can be conveniently carried out
e.g. in the workshop.You just need a 24 Volt power supply as well as
an indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM or the adjustment
software PACTware with VEGACONNECT.
Move on to electrical connection and proceed as follows:
1. Snap the socket without VEGAMET 625 onto the carrier rail

2. Connect sensor cable to terminal 1/2 (active input) or 3/4 (passive
input), provide a screening
3. When using several sockets, loop the power supply by means of
bridges
4. Connectpowersupply(switchedo)toterminal17and18
5. If necessary, connect relays or other outputs
6. Insert VEGAMET 625 into the plug-in socket and screw it down
tightly
Note:
If the addressing of the sensors has not yet been carried out, only one
sensormustbeconnected.Addressing(seechapter"Setup")ofthe
rstsensorcanthenbecarriedout.Afterwards,therstsensormust
be disconnected again and the next sensor connected and provided
with an address.Then all sensors can be connected and setup can
be started.
Before setting up Ex versions, make sure the Ex separating chamber
is plugged on the left housing side (above the sensor terminals). The
pins for type and Ex coding must also be inserted correctly.
Information:
• On the active input (terminal 1/2), VEGAMET 625 provides power
for the connected sensors. Power supply and measurement data
are transmitted over the same two-wire cable.This mode is pro-
vided for connection of measuring transducers without separate
operating voltage (sensors in two-wire version).
• On the passive input (terminals 3/4), the sensors are not supplied
with energy - only the measured value is transmitted. This input is
for instruments with their own separate operating voltage (sensors
in four-wire version or separators such as VEGATRENN 149). On
a VEGAMET 625 in Ex version, the passive input is not available
due to approval/technical reasons.
Note:
VEGAMET 625 is designed for connection of two HART sensors.
BecausetheyareaccessedviadierentaddressesintheHART
multidrop mode, both sensors are connected to the same sensor
input.These are either terminals 1/2 (active input) or terminals 3/4
(passive input). Simultaneous mixed operation on active and passive
input is not possible.The measured value transmission is carried out
via the digital HART signal. An analogue 4 … 20 mA transmission is
not possible. Because this is a digital bus system, only one two-wire
cable should lead to the two sensors. A distributor can be connected
directly in front of the sensors. As an alternative, the connection to
the next sensor can be continued via the second cable entry in the
sensor housing.The addressing of the sensors should be carried out
beforeconnection,seechapter"Set up".

Note:
Approx. 10 minutes after the last pressing of a key, an automatic reset

6.2 Setup steps
Through parameter adjustment, the instrument is adapted to the indi-
vidual application conditions. A measurement loop calibration is the
most important step and should always be carried out. A scaling of
the measured value to the desired physical variable and unit, possibly
includingalinearizationcurve,isoftenuseful.Theadaptationofthe
relay switching points or the setting of an integration time to smooth
the measured value are further standard adjustment options.
Instruments with Ethernet interface can be provided with a Host name
suitable for the measurement loop. As an alternative to the addressing
via DHCP, it is also possible to adjust an IP address and subnet mask
suitable for your network. If necessary, the e-mail/Web server can be
alsoconguredwithPACTware.
Information:
When using PACTware and the corresponding VEGA DTM, additional
settings can be carried out which are not possible or only partly pos-
sible with the integrated display and adjustment unit. When using an
adjustment software, you either need one of the integrated interfaces
(RS232/Ethernet) or the interface converter VEGACONNECT.
Further instructions for setting up the web server and e-mail functions
are stated in the online help of PACTware or the VEGAMET 625 DTMs
aswellasthesupplementaryinstructionsmanual"RS232/Ethernet
connection".
VEGAMET 625 can process measured values of more than one
HART sensor.The measured values are transmitted as digital HART
signals to the same cable (bus). An analogue 4 … 20 mA transmis-
sion is not possible, the current is limited to 4 mA. An own, unam-
biguous address (address range 1-15) must be assigned to each
connected sensor. This mode is also called HART multidrop mode.
Address 0 (mode 4 … 20 mA) must not be used.
Note:
When addresses are being assigned, only one sensor must be con-
nected on the bus. If this is not the case, no sensor can be accessed
and it is not possible to assign an address.
The addressing can be carried out directly on each HART sensor via
the respective adjustment unit or adjustment software. As an alterna-
tive, the setting of the sensor address can be also carried out via the
VEGAMETmenuunder"Service - Sensor address"(seechapter
"Setup procedure"under"Service - Change sensor address").

As requested, the measured value display shows the individual
measurement loops separately or in a joint overview. The respective
digital display value, the measurement loop name (meas. loop TAG)
and the unit are shown.With the separate presentation, an analogue
bar graph is also displayed and the measured values appear in big-

Because VEGAMET 625 has two inputs, the measurement loops
must be assigned to the inputs. After the addresses of the HART sen-
sors are assigned, a list of the existing sensors can be prepared and
displayedvia"Sensor selection - Sensor search".Nowyoucanassign
the requested sensor to each measurement loop.

You can assign an unambiguous name to VEGAMET 625 via the
Device-TAG. This function is recommended when several instruments
are implemented and a good documentation of larger systems is
required.
