3.2Principle of operation
VEGABAR 64 is a pressure transmitter for use in the paper,food
processing and pharmaceutical industries as well as in water/sewage
water plants.Depending on the version,it is used for level,gauge,
absolute pressure or vacuum measurement.Measured products are
gases,vapours and liquids,also those containing abrasive substan-
ces.
The sensor element is the CERTEC
®
measuring cell with flush,
abrasion resistant ceramic diaphragm.The hydrostatic pressure of the
medium or the process pressure causes a capacitance change in the
measuring cell via the diaphragm.This change is converted into an
appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.
The CERTEC
®
measuring cell is also equipped with a temperature
sensor.The temperature value can be displayed via the indicating and
adjustment module or processed via the signal output.
Power is supplied via the H1Fieldbus.Atwo-wire cable according to
Fieldbus specification serves as carrier of both power and digital data
for multiple sensors.This cable can be operated in two versions:
lvia an H1interface card in the control system and additional power
supply
lvia a Linking device
with HSE (High speed
Ethernet)and addition-
al power supply ac-
cording to IEC 61158-2
The DD (Device Descriptions)and CFF (capability files)necessary for
planning and configuration of your FF (Foundation Fieldbus)commu-
nication network are available in the download area of the VEGA

4.1General instructions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument in contact with the measured
product,especially the sensor element,process seal and process
fitting,are suitable for the existing process conditions such as process
pressure,process temperature as well as the chemical properties of
the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data"in the or on
the type label.
Select an installation position you can easily reach for mounting and
connecting as well as later retrofitting of an indicating and adjustment
module.The housing can be rotated by 330°without the use of any
tools.You can also install the indicating and adjustment module in four
different positions (each displaced by 90°).
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply")and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry.Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g.through cleaning processes)or
on cooled or heated vessels.
Fig.2:Measures against moisture penetration
Ventilation for the measuring cell is realised by means of a filter
element in the socket of the electronics housing.Ventilation for the
electronics housing is realised via an additional filter element in the
area of the cable glands.

Make sure that the filter elements are always free of buildup during
operation.Apressure washer must not be used for cleaning.
With instrument versions in protection IP 66/IP 68,1bar,the ventilation
is realised via the capillaries in the fix connected cable.The filter
elements are replaced by blind stoppers.
Higher process temperatures often mean also higher ambient
temperatures.Make sure that the upper temperature limits stated in
chapter "Technical data"for the environment of the electronics housing
and connection cable are not exceeded.

5Connecting to power supply
5.1Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
lConnect only in the complete absence of line voltage
lIf overvoltage surges are expected,overvoltage arresters should
be installed according to Foundation Fieldbus specification
Tip:
We recommend VEGA overvoltage arrester B63-32.
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations,conformity and type approval certificates of the sensors
and power supply units.
The instrument requires a operating voltage of 9…32 V DC.
Operating voltage and the digital bus signal are carried on the same
two-wire connection cable.Power is supplied via the H1power supply.
Connection is carried out with screened cable according to Fieldbus
specification.
Use cable with round cross-section.Acable outer diameter of 5…9mm
(0.2…0.35 in)ensures the seal effect of the cable gland.If you are
using cable with a different diameter or cross-section,exchange the
seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the
Fieldbus specification.In particular,make sure that the termination of
the bus is done with appropriate terminating resistors.
On the instrument with cable entry ½NPT and plastic housing there is
a metallic ½" threaded insert moulded into the plastic housing.
Caution:
No grease should be used when screwing the NPT cable gland or
steel tube into the threaded insert.Standard grease can contain
additives that corrode the connection between threaded insert and
housing.This would influence the stability of the connection and the
tightness of the housing.
In systems with potential equalisation,connect the cable screen
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit,in the connection
box and at the sensor.The screen in the sensor must be connected
directly to the internal ground terminal.The ground terminal outside on
the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation (low
impedance).

5Connecting to power supply
28259-EN-081209

In systems without potential equalisation,connect the cable screen
directly to ground potential at the power supply unit and at the sensor.
In the connection box or T-distributor,the screen of the short stub to
the sensor must not be connected to ground potential or to another
cable screen.The cable screens to the power supply unit and to the
next distributor must be connected to each other and also connected
to ground potential via a ceramic capacitor (e.g.1nF,1500 V). The low
frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed,but the
protective effect against high frequency interference signals remains.
The total capacitance of the cable and of all capacitors must not exceed
10 nFin Ex applications.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications.In particular,make sure that no potential equalisation
currents flow 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.
