serial number on the inside of the instrument.
3.2 Principle of operation
VEGABAR
64
is a pressure transmitter for use in the paper, food
processing and pharmaceutical industries as well as in water/sewage
water plants. Depending on the version, it is used for level, gauge,
absolute pressure or vacuum measurement. Measured products are
gases, vapours and liquids, also those containing abrasive substan-
ces.
T
he sensor element is the CERTEC
®
measuring cell with flush,
abrasion resistant ceramic diaphragm. The hydrostatic pressure of the
medium or the process pressure causes a capacitance change in the
measuring cell via the diaphragm. This change is converted into an
appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.
T
he CERTEC
®
measuring cell is also equipped with a temperature
sensor. The temperature value can be displayed via the indicating and
adjustment module or processed via the signal output.
T
wo-wire electronics 4 … 20 mA/HART for power supply and
measured value transmission over the same cable.
T
he supply voltage range can differ depending on the instrument
version.
T
he data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
T
he background lighting of the indicating and adjustment module is
powered by the sensor. Prerequiste is a certain heigt of the operating
voltage. You can find the exact voltage specifications in chapter
"Technical data".
T
he optional heating requires its own operating voltage. You can find
details in the supplementary instructions manual "Heating for indicat-
ing and adjustment module".
T
his function is generally not available for approved instruments.
