During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGATOR 132 is a universal controller for connection of conductive sensors. 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.
Canadian Electrical Code. Safety instructions for Ex areas For applications in explosion-proof areas (Ex), only devices with cor- responding Ex approval may be used. Observe the Ex-specific safety instructions. These are an integral part of the operating instructions and are enclosed with every device with Ex approval. VEGATOR 132 •...
Principle of operation Application area The VEGATOR 132 is a double-channel controller for level detection with conductive sensors of series EL. Simple monitoring and control functions can be realised via the integrated relays. Typical applica- tions are monitoring functions such as overfill and dry run protection as well as pump controls.

Mounting General instructions Mounting options VEGATOR 132 is designed for carrier rail mounting (top hat rail 35 x 7.5 according to DIN EN 50022/60715). Due to its protection rating of IP20, the instrument is suitable for mounting in switching cabinets. It can be mounted horizontally and vertically.
Voltage supply The data for power supply are specified in chapter " Technical data". Connection cable The voltage supply of VEGATOR 132 is connected with standard cable according to the national installation standards. The sensors are connected with standard two-wire cable without shielding. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, shielded cable should be used.

DIL switch block The DIL switch block is located behind the front cover. The individual switches are assigned as follows: Fig. 4: DIL switch VEGATOR 132 Mode, channel 1 (min./max. adjustment) 2 Line monitoring, channel 1 Off/On Switch-on delay 2 seconds Switch-on delay 6 seconds...

8 seconds can thus be adjusted. Primary/Secondary If several instruments are to be connected to the same electrodes, Device then all VEGATOR 132 must be connected together via terminal 3. One instrument must be configured as Primary Device, all others as Secondary Device. Through synchronization of the measurement volt- ages, faulty measurements due to crossover of measuring currents is avoided.

The switches for the switch-on and switch-off delay should be set to " 0 s". 2. The vessel should be empty i.e. the sensor must not be covered VEGATOR 132 •...

5.1 kV DC Approvals Instruments with approvals can have different technical specifications depending on the version. If inductive loads or stronger currents are switched through, the gold plating on the relay contact surface will be permanently damaged. The contact is then no longer suitable for switching low-level signal circuits. VEGATOR 132 •...
