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
Connect the operating voltage according to the following diagrams.
Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect
VEGACAP 63 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels,
to the next ground potential. On the side of the instrument housing
there is a ground terminal between the cable entries. This connection
serves to drain off electrostatic charges.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
screen. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the
test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should
be used.
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of
5 … 9 mm (0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland.
If you are using cable with a different diameter or cross-section,
exchange the seal or use a suitable cable gland.
5.2 Connection procedure
With Ex instruments, the housing cover may only be opened if there is
no explosive atmosphere present.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the housing cover
2. Loosen compression nut of the cable entry
3. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
4. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
5. Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver (see
following illustration)
6. Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to the wir-
ing plan
7. Press down the opening levers of the terminals, you will hear the
terminal spring closing
8. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on
them
9. Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry. The seal ring must
completely encircle the cable
10. If necessary, carry out a fresh adjustment
11. Screw the housing cover back on
The electrical connection is hence finished.
