5.1 Fault signal on VEGATOR 532 Ex

Soldering bridge for failure
adjustment of channel 1
The connection line from the mass and max.
electrode to the signal conditioning
instrument is generally monitored on line
break with Ex-measuring systems and
overfill protections.
If both channels are used for two separate
measurements (no double point control) the
electrodes are monitored, e.g. mass and
max. electrode of channel 1 to connection
point d30 and d32, mass and min. electrode
of channel 2 to connection point z30 and z32.
This division effects a channel specific fault
signal. This means in case of failure:
- The channel specific failure-LED lights
- The relay and the transistor output of the
failed channel deenergize and block
- The functions of the failed channel remain.

Soldering bridge for failure
adjustment of channel 2
If conductive electrodes are used without Ex-
version (measuring system without Ex-
requirements) a resistor of 220 kOhm must
be mounted between mass and max.
electrode (between connection 1 and 2 ) for
monitoring of the connection line in the
connection box of the electrodes.
If this is not possible, it is necessary to close
a soldering bridge on the circuit board of the
signal conditioning instrument
- for channel 1 soldering bridge BR1 (14)
- for channel 2 soldering bridge BR2 (15)
Note
In this case the monitoring of the mass and
max. electrodes and the connection lines are
inactive. Therefore also the fault signal is
ineffective.
