Adjustment
4.4 Configuration and parameter
adjustment
No matter 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 instructions manual, the
adjustment 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 that deter-
mines the applications and the assignments
of the inputs and outputs. Choices 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…)
• Determine 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 "Reset to linked application“ has
been carried out before (under "Additional
functions“).
2 Configuration of inputs
• Specify from where your VEGAMET re-
ceives the input data (sensor, other
VEGAMET)
• Enter sensor characteristics values (meas.
range, current range)
3 Configuration of outputs
• All outputs (except fail safe relay) can been
assigned to one sensor or can be switched
off.
After basic configuration, VEGAMET goes
into operating mode 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 carried out (e.g. set values of
the current input after the current output has
been assigned).
