A metallic measuring cell is used as sensor element. The process
pressuresaretransmittedviatheseparatingdiaphragmsandlling
oilstoapiezoresistivesensorelement(resistancemeasuringbridge
using semiconductor technology).
Thedierencebetweentheactingpressureschangesthebridgevolt-
age.This change is measured, further processed and converted into
a corresponding output signal.
When measurement limits are exceeded, an overload system protects
the sensor element against damage.
In addition, the measuring cell temperature and the static pressure
are measured on the low pressure side.The measuring signals are
further processed and are available as additional output signals.

3.3 Supplementary cleaning procedures
The VEGADIF 85 is also available in the version "Oil, grease and
silicone-free".These instruments have passed through a special
cleaning procedure to remove oil, grease and paint-wetting impair-
ment substances (PWIS).
The cleaning is carried out on all wetted parts as well as on surfaces
accessible from outside.To keep the purity level, the instruments are
immediately packed in plastic foil after the cleaning process. The
purity level remains as long as the instrument is kept in the closed
original packaging.

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
Thepermissibleprocesspressurerangeisspeciedonthetypelabel
with "MWP" (Maximum Working Pressure), see chapter " Congura-
tion".Thisspecicationreferstoareferencetemperatureof+25°C
(+76°F).TheMWPmayalsobepermanentlyappliedononeside.
In order to prevent damage to the device, a test pressure acting on
bothsidesmayonlyexceedthespeciedMWPbrieyby1.5times
atreferencetemperature.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
angeisolatingdiaphragms,canlimitthepermissibleprocesspres-
sure range according to the respective standard.
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.

eration. A high-pressure cleaner may not be used for cleaning.
For better readability of the display or access to the wiring, the elec-
tronicshousingcanberotatedby330°.Astoppreventsthehousing
from being turned too far.
Depending on the version and housing material, the locking screw on
the neck of the housing must be slightly loosened. The housing can
then be turned to the correct position. As soon as the requested posi-
tion is reached, tighten the locking screw.
If there is strong vibration at the mounting location, the instrument
version with external housing should be used. See chapter "External
housing".

4.2 Instructions for oxygen applications
Oxygen and other gases can be explosive when brought into contact
with oils, grease and plastics, so the following measures must also be
taken:
• All components of the system, e.g. measuring instruments, must
becleanedinaccordancewiththerequirementsofrecognized
regulations or standards
• Depending on the seal material, certain temperatures and pres-
sures must not be exceeded in oxygen applications, see chapter
"Technical data"
Danger:
Instruments for oxygen applications must be unpacked just before
mounting.Afterremovingtheprotectivecoveroftheprocesstting,

4.5 Measurement setups
4.5.1 Overview
The following sections show common measurement setups:
• Level
• Flow
• Dierentialpressure
• Interface
• Density
Dependingontheapplication,theremayalsobedierentarrange-
ments.
Note:
Forsimplication,theeectivepressurelinesarepartlyshownwith
ahorizontalcourseandsharpangles.Forwiring,pleaseobservethe
instructions in chapter " Mounting, Connection to the process" as well

4.5.2 Level
• Mount device below the lower measurement connection so that
theeectivepressurelinesarealwayslledwithliquid
• Always connect the low pressure side above the max. level in the
vessel
• For measurement in products with solid content, such as e.g. dirty
liquids, the installation of separators and drain valves is recom-
mended. Debris and sediment can thus be collected and removed.
