During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGABAR 54 is a pressure transmitter for measurement of gauge pressure and vacuum. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter "Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
With respect to compatibility, the NAMUR recommendation NE 53 is fulfilled. This applies also to the corresponding display and adjust- ment components. VEGA instruments are generally upward and downward compatible. • Sensor software for DTM VEGABAR 54 HART, PA or FF • DTM VEGABAR 54 for adjustment software PACTware • Display and adjustment module for sensor software The parameter adjustment of the basic sensor functions is independ- ent of the software version.
Constituent parts The VEGABAR 54 consists of the components: • Process fitting with measuring cell • Housing with electronics, optionally available with plug connector • Housing cover, optionally available with display and adjustment module The components are available in different versions.

• Software from 3.82 Principle of operation Application area VEGABAR 54 - climate compensated is a pressure transmitter for use in the paper and food processing industries as well as in water/waste water applications under difficult conditions (cold medium and warm, humid environment). Depending on the version, the pressure transmitter is used for meas- urement of level, gauge pressure or vacuum.
IEC 61158-2 DD/CFF The DD (Device Descriptions) and CFF (capability files) necessary for planning and configuration of your FF (Foundation Fieldbus) com- munication network are available in the download area of the VEGA homepage www.vega.com under "Services - Downloads - Software - Foundation Fieldbus". The appropriate certificates are also available there. A CD with the appropriate files and certificates can be ordered via e-mail under info@de.vega.com or by phone from one of the VEGA agencies under the order number "DRIVER.S".
