During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGATOR 131 is a universal controller for connection of conductive sensors. 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.
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC Part I) (Canada). Safety instructions for Ex areas For applications in hazardous areas (Ex), only devices with corre- sponding Ex approval may be used. Observe the Ex-specific safety instructions. These are an integral part of the device documentation and are enclosed with every device with Ex approval. VEGATOR 131 •...
Open the VEGA Tools app and enter the serial number under "Documentation". Principle of operation Application area The VEGATOR 131 is a single channel controller for level detection conductive sensors of series EL. Via the integrated relay simple con- trol tasks can be solved. Typical applications are monitoring functions such as overfill or dry run protection, Optionally an additional second relay can be ordered.

Mounting General instructions Mounting options VEGATOR 131 is designed for carrier rail mounting (top hat rail 35 x 7.5 according to DIN EN 50022/60715). Due to its protection rating of IP20, the instrument is suitable for mounting in switching cabinets. It can be mounted horizontally and vertically.
Voltage supply The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data". Connection cable The voltage supply of VEGATOR 131 is connected with standard cable according to the national installation standards. The sensors are connected with standard two-wire cable without shielding. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, shielded cable should be used.
