This function is generally not available for approved instruments. 3.3 Operation VEGAPULS 63 can be adjusted with different adjustment media: with the indicating and adjustment module with the suitable VEGA DTM in conjunction with an adjustment software according to the FDT/DTM standard, e.g.

  • Page 13: Mounting

    Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGAPULS 63 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down- ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.

    With power supply units with integrated HART resistance (internal resistance approx. 250 Ohm), an additional external resistance is not necessary. This applies, e.g. to the VEGA instruments VEGATRENN 149A, VEGADIS 371, VEGAMET 381). Also usual Ex separators are most of the time equipped with a sufficient current limitation resistor.
