Adjustment
4.4 Configuration and parameter ad-
justment
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
carried out directly on the keys of VEGAMET.
The adjustment via the software VVO is de-
scribed in a separate manual.
Configuration
Configuring means assigning or setting func-
tions (once). VEGAMET requires a basic
configuration (usually once) that determines
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 measurement“ has
been carried out before (under "Additional
functions“).
2 Configuration inputs
• Specify from where your VEGAMET re-
ceives 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 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 integra-
tion 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).
