3.2Mode
The VEGABAR 67 is a suspension pressure transmitter for level
measurement in vessels under difficult conditions (cold media,warm
humid environment). Measured products can be all media against
which the wetted materials of are resistant.
The METEC
®
measuring cell is the measuring unit.It consists of the
ceramic-capacitive CERTEC
®
absolute pressure measuring cell and a
special,temperature-compensating isolating system.
Type label
Application area
Functional principle
VEGABAR 67 •4... 20 mA/HART -climate compensated 9
3Product description
39444-EN-110916

The hydrostatic pressure of the medium or the process pressure
causes a capacitance change in the measuring cell via the metal
process diaphragm and the isolating liquid.This change is converted
into an electrical signal,compared with an integrated reference
pressure measurement and outputted as measured value via the
output signal.
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.
Two-wire electronics 4…20 mA/HART for power supply and
measured value transmission over the same cable.
The supply voltage range can differ depending on the instrument
version.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
The optional background lighting of the indicating and adjustment
module is powered by the sensor.Acertain level of operating voltage
is required for this.You can find the exact voltage specifications in
chapter "Technical data".
The optional heating requires its own operating voltage.You can find
details in the supplementary instructions manual "Heating for indicat-
ing and adjustment module".
This function is generally not available for approved instruments.
3.3Operation
The instrument can be adjusted with the following adjustment media:
lwith indicating and adjustment module
lwith the suitable VEGA DTM in conjunction with an adjustment
software according to the FDT/DTM standard,e.g.PACTware and
PC
lwith manufacturer-specific adjustment programs AMS™or PDM
lWith a HART handheld
3.4Packaging,transport and storage
The device was protected by packaging during transport.Its capacity
to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test according
to DIN EN 24180.
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly,recyclable cardboard.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 under consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging.Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.

3.5Accessories and replacement parts
The indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM is used for
measured value indication,adjustment and diagnosis.It can be
inserted into the sensor and removed at any time.
You can find further information in the operating instructions "Indicating
and adjustment module PLICSCOM"(Document-ID 27835).
The interface adapter VEGACONNECT 4enables the connection of
communication-capable instruments to the USB interface of a PC.For
parameter adjustment of these instruments,an adjustment software
such as PACTware with VEGA-DTM is required.
You can find further information in the operating instructions "Interface
adapter VEGACONNECT"(Document-ID 32628).
VEGADIS 61 is suitable for external measured value indication and
adjustment of plics®sensors.It is connected to the sensor with an up
to 25 m long,four-wire,screened standard cable.
You can find further information in the operating instructions
"VEGADIS 61"(Document-ID 27720).
Flanges are available in different versions according to the following
standards:DIN 2501,EN 1092-1,ANSI B 16.5,JIS B 2210-1984,

The measuring instrument holder is used for wall/tube mounting of
VEGABAR series 50 pressure transmitters and VEGAWELL 52
suspension pressure transmitters.Supplied reducers enable the
adaptation to different instrument diameters.The material used is
316L.
The protective cover protects the sensor housing against soiling and
intense heat from solar radiation.
You will find additional information in the supplementary instructions
manual "Protective cover"(Document-ID 34296).
The electronics module is a replacement part for pressure transmitter
VEGABAR.One version is available for each type of signal output.

4Mounting
4.1General instructions
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process,in
particular the sensor element,process seal and process fitting,are
suitable for the existing process conditions.These include above all
the process pressure,process temperature as well as the chemical
properties of the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data"or on the
type label.
To protect the diaphragm,the process fitting is covered by a protective
cap.
Remove the protective cap just before installation so that the
diaphragm will not get damaged.It is recommended to keep the cap
and use it again later for storage or transport.
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.

The ventilation of the electronics housing as well as the atmosperic
pressure compensation for the measuring cell are realised via a filter
element in the area of the cable gland.

2Blind stopper
Caution:
Due to the filter effect,the pressure compensation is time delayed.
When opening/closing the housing cover quickly,the measured value
can change for a period of approx.5s by up to 15 mbar.
Information:
Make sure that the filter element is always free of buildup during
operation.Ahigh-pressure cleaner may not be used for cleaning.
With instrument versions in protection IP 66/IP 68,1bar,the ventilation
is realised via the capillaries in the permanently connected cable.The
filter element is replaced by a blind stopper.
4.2Mounting preparations
For the suspension cable version note the following points when
selecting the mounting position:
lSideways movements of the transmitter can cause measurement
errors
àTherefore,mount VEGABAR 67 in a calm area or in a suitable
protective tube
lThe suspension cable has a capillary for atmospheric pressure
compensation

The external electronics is provided with terminals and a filter element
for pressure compensation.Keep in mind for all versions:
lThe protective cover prevents mechanical damage to the
measuring cell.It should only be removed when the sensor is
deployed in extremely polluted water.
