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
• 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 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.

4 Connecting to power supply
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

VEGABAR 83 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).

set to " On".

Fig. 8: Activate Bluetooth

On = Bluetooth active
O = Bluetooth not active
The security concept of Bluetooth operation absolutely requires that
the default setting of the sensor PIN be changed.This prevents unau-
thorized access to the sensor.
The default setting of the sensor PIN is " 0000". First of all you have
tochangethesensorPINintheadjustmentmenuofthesensor,e.g.
to " 1111":
1. Go to setup via the extended operation
2. Lock operation by changing sensor PIN
3. Enable operation again by entering the sensor PIN once more

Sensor adjustment via the display/adjustment module or PACTware/
DTM by means of VEGACONNECT is thus released again. For ac-
cess(authentication)withBluetooth,thechangedPINisstilleective.
Note:
Bluetooth access can only be established if the current sensor PIN
diersfromthedefaultsetting"0000". It is possible both when the
adjustment is unlocked and when it is locked.
6.2 Connecting
Smartphone/Tablet
Start the adjustment app and select the function "Setup". The smart-
phone/tablet searches automatically for Bluetooth-capable instru-
ments in the area.
PC/Notebook
Start PACTware and the VEGA project assistant. Select the device
search via Bluetooth and start the search function.The device auto-
matically searches for Bluetooth-capable devices in the vicinity.
The message " Instrument search running" is displayed. All devices
found are listed in the operating window. The search is automatically
continued continuously.
Select in the device list the requested device.The message " Con-
necting" is displayed.
Fortherstconnection,theoperatingdeviceandthesensormust
authenticateeachother.Aftersuccessfulauthentication,thenextcon-
nection functions without authentication.
Forauthentication,enterinthenextmenuwindowthe4-digitsensor
