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.

4.1 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

theterminalopeningisthenfree.Whenthescrewdriverisreleased,
the terminal closes again.
7. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on
them

VEGABAR 86 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).
Duringadjustment,thepressureisenterede.g.forthelevelwithfull

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
