Operating instructions VEGABAR 83 - 4 … 20 mA/HART: Document-ID 45034 Editing status of the quick setup guide: 2023-09-06 VEGABAR 83 • 4 … 20 mA/HART...
During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGABAR 83 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.
Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter " Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter " Disposal" Exception: Versions with measuring ranges from 250 bar. These are subject of the EU Pressure Device Directive. VEGABAR 83 • 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.

Enter the percentage value and the corresponding value for the min. level. The quick setup is finished. Parameterization example VEGABAR 83 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).
These settings can be made ahead of time without the instrument having to be installed. Parameter adjustment - Extended adjustment For technically demanding measuring points, you can carry out extended settings in " Extended adjustment". Main menu The main menu is divided into five sections with the following func- tions: Setup: Settings e. g. for measurement loop name, application, units, position correction, adjustment, signal output, disable/enable opera- tion Display: Settings, e.g., for language, measured value display, lighting Diagnosis: Information, for example, of device status, peak indicator, simulation Additional adjustments: date/time, reset, copy function VEGABAR 83 • 4 … 20 mA/HART...
