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 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.
For detailed specification of the safety requirements, multiple SIL levels are specified according to safety standard IEC 61508. You can find detailed information in chapter " Functional safety (SIL)" of the operating instructions. The instrument meets the specifications of IEC 61508: 2010 (Edi- tion 2). It is qualified for single-channel operation up to SIL2. The instrument can be used homogeneously redundant up to SIL3 in multi-channel architecture with HFT 1. VEGABAR 86 • 4 … 20 mA/HART...

6. Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan Note: 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. 7. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on them 8.

The instrument is shipped in locked condition. To prevent unintentional or unauthorized adjustment, the instrument is protected (locked) against all parameter changes while in normal operating condition. For each parameter change you have to enter the PIN of the instru- ment. In delivery status, the PIN is "0000". Change parameters You can find a description below the respective parameter.

4. Depending on the application, carry out the adjustment e.g. in the menu items " Min. adjustment" and " Max. adjustment". Parameterization example VEGABAR 86 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).

3. Serial number acknowledgement Afterwards you confirm that the serial number of your instrument was carried over correctly. This is used to check device communication. 4. Verify parameters Confirm the modified values one after the other. If the described process of parameter adjustment was run through completely and correctly, the instrument will be locked and hence ready for operation. VEGABAR 86 • 4 … 20 mA/HART...
