During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use Model VEGABAR 86 is a pressure transmitter for level and gauge 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.
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" VEGABAR 86 • Foundation Fieldbus...

3 Product description Fig. 2: Level measurement with VEGABAR 86 Electronic differential Depending on the version, the VEGABAR 86 is also suitable for pressure electronic differential pressure measurement. For this, the instrument is combined with a Secondary Device. Fig. 3: Electronic differential pressure measurement via a Primary/Secondary combination You can find detailed information in the operating instructions of the respective Secondary Device.
