3.2 Principle of operation
VEGABAR 81 is suitable for applications in virtually all industries. It is
used for the measurement of the following pressure types.
• Gauge pressure
• Absolute pressure
• Vacuum
Measured products are gases, vapours and liquids.
The chemical seal systems of VEGABAR 81, which are optimally
adapted to the process, also allow measurement of highly corrosive
and hot products.
The VEGABAR 81 is suitable for the measurement of the following
process variables:
• Process pressure
• Level

VEGABAR 81 • HART and accumulator pack
45026-EN-200529
The VEGABAR 81 is equipped with a chemical seal. It consists of a
stainless steel diaphragm and a transmission liquid.
A chemical seal has two tasks:
• Separation of the sensor element from the medium
• Transmission of the process pressure to the sensor element

Thechemicalsealisavailableindierentversions,seechapter
"Dimensions".
The process pressure acts on the sensor element via the isolat-
ing diaphragm.The process pressure causes a resistance change
which is converted into a corresponding output signal and output as
measured value.

a transmission liquid, measuring ranges from 100 bar: a dry strain
gauge (DMS) sensor element.

Relative pressure: the measuring cell is open to the atmosphere.
The ambient pressure is detected in the measuring cell and compen-
sated.Itthushasnoinuenceonthemeasuredvalue.
Absolute pressure: the measuring cell contains vacuum and is
encapsulated.The ambient pressure is not compensated and does
henceinuencethemeasuredvalue.
The measuring system is completely welded and thus sealed against
the process.
Theprocessttingissealedagainsttheprocessbyasuitableseal.It
mustbeprovidedbythecustomer,dependingontheprocesstting
also included in the scope of delivery, see chapter "Technical data",
"Materials and weights".
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:
Pressure types
Seal concept
Packaging
T

4.1 General instructions
Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissibleprocessconditions.Youcannddetailedinformationon
the process conditions in chapter "Technical data" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Processtting
• Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasionandmechanicalinuences
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
measures:
• Use a suitable connection cable (see chapter "Connecting to
power supply")
• Tighten the cable gland or plug connector
• Lead the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry or
plug connector
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high
humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled
or heated vessels.
Note:
Makesurethatthedegreeofcontaminationspeciedinchapter
"Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions.
Note:
Make sure that during installation or maintenance no moisture or dirt
can get inside the instrument.
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.
Deviceswiththreadedttingarescrewedintotheprocessttingwith
a suitable wrench via the hexagon.
See chapter "Dimensions"forwrenchsize.

VEGABAR 81 • HART and accumulator pack
45026-EN-200529
Warning:
The housing or the electrical connection may not be used for screw-
ing in! Depending on the device version, tightening can cause dam-
age, e. g. to the rotation mechanism of the housing.
If there is strong vibration at the mounting location, the instrument
version with external housing should be used. See chapter "External
housing".
Thepermissibleprocesspressurerangeisspeciedby"MWP"(Maxi-
mum Working Pressure) on the type label, see chapter "Structure".
The MWP takes the element of the measuring cell and processing
ttingcombinationwiththeweakestpressureintoconsiderationand
mayappliedpermanently.Thespecicationreferstoareference
temperature of +20 °C (+68 °F). It also applies when a measuring cell
with a higher measuring range than the permissible pressure range of
theprocessttingisinstalledorder-related.
In order to prevent damage to the device, a test pressure may only
exceedthespeciedMWPbrieyby1.5timesatreferencetempera-
ture.Thepressurestageoftheprocessttingaswellastheoverload
resistance of the measuring cell are taken into consideration here
(see chapter "Technical Data").
Inaddition,atemperaturederatingoftheprocesstting,e.g.with
anges,canlimitthepermissibleprocesspressurerangeaccording
to the respective standard.
The permissible process pressure range is stated on the type label.
The instrument should only be operated with these pressures if the
mountingaccessoryusedalsofullsthesevalues.Thisshouldbeen-
suredbysuitableanges,weldedsockets,tensionringswithClamp
connections, sealings, etc.
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 hous-
ing and connection cable are not exceeded.

4.2 Ventilation and pressure compensation
Thelterelementintheelectronicshousinghasthefollowingfunc-
tions:
• Ventilation of the electronics housing
• Atmospheric pressure compensation (with relative pressure meas-
uring ranges)
Caution:
Thelterelementcausesatime-delayedpressurecompensation.
Whenquicklyopening/closingthehousingcover,themeasuredvalue
can change for approx. 5 s by up to 15 mbar.
Foraneectiveventilation,thelterelementmustbealwaysfreefrom
buildup.Incaseofhorizontalmounting,turnthehousingsothatthe
lterelementpointsdownwardaftertheinstrumentisinstalled.This
provides better protection against buildup.
Caution:
Donotuseahigh-pressurecleaner.Thelterelementcouldbedam-
aged, which would allow moisture into the housing.
Thefollowingparagraphsdescribehowthelterelementisarranged
inthedierentinstrumentversions.

• 0=sensoro,LEDsshowtheaccumulatorstatus
• 1,2=sensoro,LEDso
• 3 = sensor on for 1 hour after pressing a key (delivery status)
• 4=sensorpermanentlyon,switchingon/oviabutton
• 5 = sensor is switched on every 30 minutes for 3 minutes
• 6 = sensor is switched on every hour for 3 min.
• 7 = sensor is switched on every 6 hours for 3 minutes
• 8 = sensor is switched on every 12 hours for 3 minutes
• 9 = sensor is switched on every 24 hours for 3 minutes
ThegreenLEDcharacterizesthechargingprocess:
• LEDashes=Accumulatorischarging
• LED lights = accumulator is full, battery charger should be
unplugged (accumulator life time)
After pressing the key or changing the mode the yellow LED shows
the accumulator status for approximately 10 s as follows:
• LED lights = accumulator is full
• LEDashes=accumulatorshouldbecharged
• LEDo=accumulatorisempty

After switching on, the instrument carries out a self-check for approxi-
mately 30 s:
• Internal check of the electronics
• Indication of a status message, e.g. "F 105 Determine measured
value" on the display
Then the actual measured value is output to the signal cable.The
value takes into account settings that have already been carried out,
e.g. default setting.
