All operations described in this documentation must be carried out only by trained, qualified personnel authorised by the plant operator. 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.
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 82 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol...

4. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry Fig. 3: Connection steps 5 and 6 5. Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan Information: Solid cores as well as flexible cores with wire end sleeves are insert- ed directly into the terminal openings. In case of flexible cores without end sleeves, press the terminal from above with a small screwdriver, the terminal opening is then free. When the screwdriver is released, the terminal closes again.

Enter the percentage value and the corresponding value for the min. level. The quick setup is finished. Parameterization example VEGABAR 82 always measures pressure independently of the pro- cess variable selected in the menu item " Application". To output the selected process variable correctly, an allocation of the output signal to 0 % and 100 % must be carried out (adjustment).
