Adjustment
4.4 Configuration and parameter ad-
justment
Independent of whether you set up your
VEGAMET via the keys of the adjustment
module or via a PC with the software VVO,
the procedure is always the same.
Proceed in the following sequence:
- configuration (if not already configured as
factory setting)
- parameter adjustment.
In this operating instruction manual, the ad-
justment steps are described which are
directly carried out on the keys of VEGAMET.
The adjustment via the software VVO is de-
scribed in a separate manual.
Configuration
Configuring means assigning or setting
(once) functions. VEGAMET requires a
(mostly once) basic co-ordination, determin-
ing the applications and the assignments of
the inputs and outputs. Choises can be
made from existing functions and options.
This procedure is called configuration. The
signal conditioning instruments are delivered
with a configuration which only needs to be
changed in special cases.
The basic configuration includes the following
steps:
1 Configuration measurement loop
• Choose the kind of application (level,
gauge…)
• Choose sensor type (capacitive, hydro-
static…)
• Specify application (standard, level
difference…)
• Determine options (no option, correc-
tions…)
Note:
The measurement loop configuration can only
be modified if a "Reset to single measure-
ment" or a "Reset to linked application" has
been carried out previously (under
"Additional functions" in the extended menu).
If you only want to modify the sensor type,
you first have to carry out "Reset TAG 1"
(under "Additional functions" in the reduced
menu).
2 Configuration, inputs
• Determine from where your VEGAMET
receives the input data (sensor, other
VEGAMET)
• Enter sensor characteristics values (meas.
range, current range)
3 Configuration, outputs
• All outputs (except fail-safe relay) can be
assigned to a sensor or can be switched
off.
After basic configuration, VEGAMET starts
operating and indicates the actual measured
value. The other configurations should be
carried out after the parameter adjustment.
Parameter adjustment
Parameter adjustment means changing the
values. Signal conditioning instruments have
many parameters, the values of which can be
modified, such as for example the integration
time of 0 … 600 s. The modification of these
values is called parameter adjustment. The
parameter adjustment does not influence the
configuration. Take notice that parameter
adjustment is only possible after a configura-
tion has been done (e.g. set values of the
current input when the current output has
been assigned).
