1.1 Function and configuration
VEGAMET 601 and 602 signal conditioning
instruments are modulare units with plug-in
sockets suitable for carrier rail mounting
(DIN 46 277). Together with the respective
sensors they are used for continuous level
measurement.
The evaluation results are made available as
a current output 0/4 … 20 mA and a voltage
output 0 … 10 V. The instruments are
equipped with an adjustable integration time,
and in addition VEGAMET 602 Ex has a fault
monitoring.
Function
The measuring data of the sensor are
outputted as level-proportional current and
voltage signals. The adjustment (empty and
full adjustment) can be done very easily via
two potentiometers.
Fault monitoring on VEGAMET 602
The integrated fault monitoring on VEGAMET
602 detects shortcircuit and line break of the
measuring cable. A failure LED lights in case
of failure and a failure relay deenergises.
Configuration
To configure a measuring system, you need
a VEGAMET … signal conditioning instrument
and a sensor with analogue transmission of
measured values, e.g.
- capacitive electrodes or
- hydrostatic pressure transmitters or
- process pressure transmitters.
