During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGABAR 82 is a pressure transmitter for process pressure and hydrostatic level measurement. 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.

When quickly opening/closing the housing cover, the measured value can change for approx. 5 s by up to 15 mbar. For an effective ventilation, the filter element must be always free from buildup. In case of horizontal mounting, turn the housing so that the filter element points downward after the instrument is installed. This provides better protection against buildup. Caution: Do not use a high-pressure cleaner. The filter element could be dam- aged, which would allow moisture into the housing. The following paragraphs describe how the filter element is arranged in the different instrument versions. VEGABAR 82 • 4 … 20 mA...
