VEGA VEGABAR 17 - Manual (Page 8)

3 .2 Principle of operation
VEGABAR 17 is a pressure transmitter for measurement of gauge
pressure, absolute pressure or vacuum. Measured products are
gases, vapours and liquids. The front flush versions are also suitable
for use in viscous or contaminated products.
T
he process pressure acts on the sensor element via the stainless
steel diaphragm. The process pressure causes a resistance change
which is converted into a corresponding output signal and outputted as
measured value.
1)
4 … 20 mA two-wire electronics for voltage supply and measured
value transmission on the same cable.
3 .3 Operation
T he VEGABAR 17 has no adjustment options.
H owever, there are two built-in potentiometers for recalibration of zero
and span.
3 .4 Packaging, transport and storage
Y
our instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
according to DIN EN 24180.
T he packaging of standard instruments consists of environment-
friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE foil
is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
T
ransport must be carried out under consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
T he delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or
concealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
U p to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
U nless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:
l N ot in the open
1) M easuring ranges up to 16 bar: piezoresistive sensor element with internal
transmission liquid. Measuring ranges up to 25 bar: strain gauge (DMS)
sensor element on the rear of the stainless steel diaphragm (dry).
