1.1 Authorised personnel
All operations described in this documentation must be carried out
onlybytrained,qualiedpersonnelauthorisedbytheplantoperator.
Duringworkonandwiththedevice,therequiredpersonalprotective
equipment must always be worn.
1.2 Appropriate use
The VEGABAR 82 is a pressure transmitter for process pressure and
hydrostatic level measurement.
Youcannddetailedinformationabouttheareaofapplicationin
chapter "Product description".
Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly
usedaccordingtothespecicationsintheoperatinginstructions
manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
1.3 Warning about incorrect use
Inappropriate or incorrect use of this product can give rise to applica-
tion-specichazards,e.g.vesseloverllthroughincorrectmounting
or adjustment. Damage to property and persons or environmental
contaminationcanresult.Also,theprotectivecharacteristicsofthe
instrument can be impaired.
1.4 General safety instructions
This is a state-of-the-art instrument complying with all prevailing
regulations and directives.The instrument must only be operated in a
technicallyawlessandreliablecondition.Theoperatorisresponsi-
ble for the trouble-free operation of the instrument. When measuring
aggressive or corrosive media that can cause a dangerous situation
iftheinstrumentmalfunctions,theoperatorhastoimplementsuitable
measures to make sure the instrument is functioning properly.
Duringtheentiredurationofuse,theuserisobligedtodeterminethe
compliance of the necessary occupational safety measures with the
current valid rules and regulations and also take note of new regula-
tions.
Thesafetyinstructionsinthisoperatinginstructionsmanual,thena-
tional installation standards as well as the valid safety regulations and
accident prevention rules must be observed by the user.
Forsafetyandwarrantyreasons,anyinvasiveworkonthedevice
beyond that described in the operating instructions manual may be
carried out only by personnel authorised by the manufacturer. Arbi-
traryconversionsormodicationsareexplicitlyforbidden.Forsafety
reasons,onlytheaccessoryspeciedbythemanufacturermustbe
used.
Toavoidanydanger,thesafetyapprovalmarkingsandsafetytipson

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 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.
1.7 NAMUR recommendations
NAMUR is the automation technology user association in the process
industry in Germany. The published NAMUR recommendations are
acceptedasthestandardineldinstrumentation.
ThedevicefullstherequirementsofthefollowingNAMURrecom-
mendations:

3.1 General instructions for use of the instrument
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
• Whenmountinghorizontally,turnthehousingsothatthecable
gland or plug connector point downward
• 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.
Tomaintainthehousingprotection,makesurethatthehousinglid
is closed during operation and depending on the housing version
locked,ifnecessary.
Makesurethatthedegreeofcontaminationspeciedinchapter
"Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions.

4.1 Connecting
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface
adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Information:
The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the
electronics.Todothis,lifttheterminalblockwithasmallscrewdriver
andpullitout.Whenreinsertingtheterminalblock,youshouldhearit
snap in.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. Ifadisplayandadjustmentmoduleisinstalled,removeitbyturn-
ing it slightly to the left
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug
4. Removeapprox.10cm(4in)ofthecablemantle,stripapprox.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry

Enter the corresponding pressure value for 0 %.
6. Span adjustment
In this menu item you carry out the span adjustment for the process
pressure
Enter the corresponding pressure value for 100 %.
4. Position correction
Inthismenuitemyoucompensatetheinuenceoftheinstallation

5. Max. adjustment
In this menu item you carry out the max. adjustment for level
Enter the percentage value and the corresponding value for the max.
level.
6. Min. adjustment
In this menu item you carry out the min. adjustment for level
Enter the percentage value and the corresponding value for the min.
level.
Thequicksetupisnished.
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.Seefollowingexample:

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.
