  • Page 12: Housing Features

    (TDR). Housing features Filter element The filter element in the housing is used for ventilation of the housing. For effective ventilation, the filter element must always be free of deposits. Therefore, mount the device so that the filter element is protected against deposits. Note: Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to clean housings in standard types of protection. The filter element could be damaged and mois- ture could penetrate the housing. VEGASON 62 • Four-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...

    Processing system/PLC Note: With power supply units with integrated HART resistance (internal resistance approx. 250 Ω), an additional external resistance is not necessary. This applies, e.g. to the VEGA instruments VEGATRENN 149A, VEGAMET 381 and VEGAMET 391). Commercially available Ex separators are also usually equipped with sufficient current limita- tion resistance. In such cases, VEGACONNECT can be connected parallel to the 4 … 20 mA cable.
