5 Connecting to power supply
5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
•
Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
•
If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed
In hazardous areas you must take note of the respective regulations,
conformity and type approval certificates of the sensors and power
supply units.
The voltage supply can be 20 … 253 V AC/DC, 50/60 Hz.
The operating voltage of VEGAMET 625 is connected with standard
cable according to the national installation standards.
Standard two-wire cable can be used for connecting the sensors. The
screening is absolutely necessary to ensure interference-free opera-
tion with HART sensors.
Connect the cable screen on both ends to ground potential. In the
sensor, the screen must be connected directly to the internal ground
terminal. The ground terminal on the outside of the sensor housing
must be connected to the potential equalisation (low impedance).
If potential equalisation currents are expected, the screen connection
on the side of VEGAMET 625 must be made via a ceramic capacitor
(e. g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation currents
are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequency
interference signals remains.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex applica-
tions. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisation currents
flow over the cable screen. In case of grounding on both sides this
can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potential
equalisation.
5.2 Connection procedure
Note:
Before the actual setup, each HART sensors must be assigned an
address (address range 1-15), (see chapter "Setup"). Address 0
(mode 4 … 20 mA) must not be used. When assigning an address,
only one sensor should be connected to VEGAMET 625. If connec-
tion is completed already, the wiring must be briefly cancelled for
addressing. Depending on the installation location of the sensors, it
can be advantageous to carry out this addressing before installing
and connecting the sensors. This can be conveniently carried out
e.g. in the workshop. You just need a 24 Volt power supply as well as
an indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM or the adjustment
software PACTware with VEGACONNECT.
Move on to electrical connection and proceed as follows:
1. Snap the socket without VEGAMET 625 onto the carrier rail
