1.5 EU conformity
The device fulls the legal requirements of the applicable EU direc-
tives. By axing the CE marking, we conrm the conformity of the
instrument with these directives.
You can nd the EU conformity declaration on our website under
www.vega.com/downloads.
1.6 SIL qualication according to IEC 61508
The Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of an electronic system is used to as-
sess the reliability of integrated safety functions.
For detailed specication of the safety requirements, multiple SIL
levels are specied according to safety standard IEC 61508. You can
nd detailed information in chapter "Functional safety (SIL)" of the
operating instructions.
The instrument meets the specications of IEC 61508: 2010 (Edi-
tion 2). It is qualied for single-channel operation up to SIL2. The
instrument can be used homogeneously redundant up to SIL3 in
multi-channel architecture with HFT 1.
1.7 Permissible process conditions
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" as well as on the
type label.
The permissible process pressure range is specied by "MWP"
(Maximum Working Pressure) on the type label, see chapter "Struc-
ture". The MWP takes the element of the measuring cell and process-
ing 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, the 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.

Note:
If you intend to retrot the instrument with a display and adjustment
module for continuous measured value indication, a higher lid with an
inspection glass is required.
5.2 Parameter adjustment
A parameter change with SIL qualied instruments must always be
carried out as follows:
• Unlock adjustment
• Change parameters
• Lock adjustment and verify modied parameters
This ensures that all modied parameters have been deliberately
changed.
Unlock adjustment
The instrument is shipped in locked condition.
To prevent unintentional or unauthorized adjustment, the instrument
is protected (locked) against all parameter changes while in normal
operating condition.
For each parameter change you have to enter the PIN of the instru-
ment. In delivery status, the PIN is "0000".
Change parameters
You can nd a description below the respective parameter.

Lock adjustment and verify modied parameters
You can nd a description below the parameter "Setup - Lock adjust-
ment".
1. Go to the menu "Setup" via the display and adjustment module.
2. In this menu item you activate/deactivate the slave sensor for
electronic dierential pressure and select the application, e.g.
level
3. Select in the menu item "Units" the adjustment unit of the instru-
ment, e.g. "bar".
4. Depending on the application, carry out the adjustment e.g. in the
menu items "Min. adjustment" and "Max. adjustment".
VEGABAR 82 always measures pressure independently of the pro-
cess variable selected in the menu item "Application". To output the
selected process variable correctly, an allocation of the output signal
to 0 % and 100 % must be carried out (adjustment).
With the application "Level", the hydrostatic pressure, e.g. with full
and empty vessel, is entered for adjustment. A superimposed pres-
sure is detected by the slave sensor and automatically compensated.
See the following example:

If these values are not known, an adjustment with lling levels of e.g.
10 % and 90 % is also possible. By means of these settings, the real
lling height is then calculated.
The real product level during the adjustment is not important, because
the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without changing the
product level. These settings can be made ahead of time without the
instrument having to be installed.
With this menu item you safeguard the sensor parameters against
unauthorized or unintentional modications.
To detect parameterization errors reliably, safety-relevant parameters
must be veried before saving them into the instrument.
1. Enter PIN
In delivery status, the PIN is "0000".
2. Character string comparison
You then have to carry out the character string comparison. This is
used to check the character presentation.
3. Serial number acknowledgement
Afterwards you conrm that the serial number of your instrument was
carried over correctly. This is used to check device communication.
4. Verify parameters
Conrm the modied values one after the other.
