Connection to a VEGA signal conditioning
instrument
(fig. 3 on the next page)
If you operate a HART
® capable sensor on a
VEGA signal conditioning instrument, you
have to a connect a resistance (acc. to the
following table) to the sensor connection on
the signal conditioning instrument during the
HART
® adjustment.

4.4 Adjustment with HART ®
handheld
The capacitive electrodes EL with oscillator
CAP E32 H Ex are HART
® protocol capable
and can be adjusted with a HART ® handheld.
All relevant sensor functions can be executed
with the HART
® standard menus. A manufac-
turer-specific DDD (Data-Device-Description)
is not necessary.
Connect the HART
® handheld to the sensor
signal cable after you have connected the
sensor to power supply.
Multidrop mode
The multidrop mode can be selected with the
HART
® handheld.
With this mode, several HART ® sensors can
be connected to a single two-wire cable.
Beside the 4 … 20 mA signal, the sensor also
delivers a digital (HART
® ) level signal.
• If you enter address 0 (factory setting), the
sensor consumes a level-dependent
4 … 20 mA current and delivers a digital
(HART
® ) level signal. It is also possible to
connect e.g. an indicating instrument
(4 … 20 mA) to this cable.
• If you enter an address between 1 and 15,
the sensor consumes a permanent 4 mA
current and delivers a digital (HART
® ) level
signal.
Burst mode
Normally the sensor signals the measured
values to the processing unit only on request.
If you switch on the burst mode, the sensor
signals the measured value without being
requested.
