During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGADIS 82 is suitable for measured value indication and ad- justment of 4 … 20 mA/HART sensors. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter "Product description".
That is why we have introduced an environment management system with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro- tection. The environment management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001. Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter "Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter "Disposal" VEGADIS 82 • 4 … 20 mA/HART...

You can find further information in the operating instructions "Interface adapter VEGACONNECT" (Document-ID 32628). The electronics module is a replacement part for the display and Electronics module adjustment instrument VEGADIS 82. A separate version is available for each type of signal output. You can find further information in the operating instructions "Elec- tronics module VEGADIS 82" (Document-ID 46804).
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is closed during operation and locked, if necessary. Make sure that the degree of contamination specified in chapter "Technical data" meets the existing ambient conditions.

Mounting brackets Tube (diameter 1" to 2") Front panel mounting The VEGADIS 82 is also available with a plastic housing for panel mounting. The housing is fastened to the rear of the panel by means of the supplied screw clamps.
Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under nomi- nal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA resp. 22 mA in case of fault message) • Voltage loss on the VEGADIS 82 (see supply circuit in chapter "Technical data") You can find information on the load resistance in chapter "Technical data", (voltage supply of the respective sensor)
If screened cable is necessary, we recommend connecting the cable grounding screen on both ends to ground potential. In the VEGADIS 82, the screen should be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. In Ex systems it must be ensured that the grounding complies with the installation regulations.
