Take note of safety instructions for Ex applications

Please note the Ex specific safety information which you can find on our homepage www.vega.com/downloads under " Approvals" and which
62826-EN-210818

comes with every instrument. In hazardous areas you should take note of the corresponding regulations, conformity and type approval certifi-
cates of the sensors and power supply units. The sensors must only be operated on intrinsically safe circuits. The permissible electrical values
are stated in the certificate.

 Product description

1 Product description
Functional principle
In continuous measurement, for example, the level in a vessel is detected
by a sensor and then transferred to a controller for further processing.
By means of an adjustment in the controller, the measured value can 2
be adapted to the individual circumstances. The requested measure- 1
ment parameter is indicated in the display via a scaling/linearisation. The
measured value can be transmitted additionally to a connected control
system or visualisation via the current output.
3
Several operating relays are additionally integrated in each VEGAMET for
level detection. These can be used to control pumps or other actuators.

Application
The controllers can be used in connection with the appropriate sensors
for a large number of measuring tasks. Preset applications and functions Fig. 1: Wireless connection to smartphone/table/notebook
are already integrated for convenient set-up which can be selected and 1 VEGAMET
adapted very easily by means of an application wizard. 2 Smartphone/Tablet
The following applications and functions are available, for example, 3 PC/Notebook
depending on the instrument type:
• Universal
• Level storage tank
• Calculation difference
• Calculation total
• Calculation of average value
• Wells
• Pumping station
• Sewage screw lifting station
• Density
• Overflow basin
• Screen control
• Flow measurement flume/weir
• Pressurized vessel
• Measured value memory/data logger
All instruments also serve as a (Ex) power supply unit for the connected
sensors. Power is supplied via the same two-wire cable. As an option
in the non-Ex versions, an input without sensor power supply (passive
input) is available, enabling the connection of transmitters with their own
voltage supply (sensors in four-wire version). Depending on the instru-
ment type, one or two independent sensors can be connected and their
measured values processed.

Safety
The integrated function monitoring detects faults in the controller as well
as in the connected sensors. If such a fault is detected, the integrated
fail safe relay de-energises (safe status) and a fault signal is output
via the LEDs on the front panel. In addition, the current output of each
VEGAMET jumps to an adjustable fault current.
The instrument has the following approvals:
• Ex approval as auxiliary, intrinsically safe instrument
• Ship approval for the VEGAMET series 100/300
• Certificate as WHG-conform limit signal transmitter

Adjustment
All devices can be operated on site via the integrated display and adjust-
ment unit. Wireless operation via Bluetooth using the following adjust-
ment tools is also possible:
• Smartphone/tablet (iOS or Android operating system)
• PC/notebook with Bluetooth LE or Bluetooth USB adapter (Windows
operating system)

6 Controllers and communication

 Instrument selection

3 Instrument selection
All controllers of the 100, 300 and 800 instrument series power the
connected sensors, process the measured values and display these
on the integrated display and adjustment unit. Up to two 4 … 20 mA or
4 … 20 mA/HART sensors can be connected depending on the instru-
ment version.
The instruments enable simple implementation of pump controls, flow
measurements on open channels and weirs, totalizers, difference, sum
and average value calculations. Limit values can be reliably monitored
and relays can be switched, e.g. for an overfill protection according to
WHG.
All instruments have a graphic display with background lighting. This
serves at the same time as a status display visible from a great distance.
The background lighting changes in he delivery status according to
NAMUR NE 107 (e. g. red for fault, orange for function check). Alterna-
tively, the status display can also be configured based on the relay or the
measured value. When the measured value is used, for example, up to
five operating states can be signalled depending on the level.

The three instrument series 100, 300 and 800 differ mainly in the protec-
tion rating and the assembly possibilities and thus also in the housing.

VEGAMET series 100

The compact series is ideal for mounting on rails, e.g. in switch cabinets.
A graphic display for on-site data visualisation and checking as well as a
turn/oush button for simple on-site adjustment are integrated.

VEGAMET series 300

The built-in housing is ideal for mounting in the panel or switch cabinet
door. A large graphic display for on-site data visualisation and checking
as well as a turn/push button for simple on-site adjustment are integrated.

VEGAMET series 800

The housings are designed for wall/pipe assembly and harsh field condi-
tions, e.g. outdoors. A large graphic display for on-site data visualisation
and checking as well as push buttons for easy on-site adjustment are
integrated.
The VEGAMET 861/862 has 4 … 20 mA/HART sensor inputs. Digital
inputs and a measured value memory/data logger are additionally avail-
able.

 Adjustment

7 Adjustment
7.1 Adjustment options and access protection
All controllers have an integrated display and adjustment unit. In addition,
the instruments can be parameterised via Bluetooth and corresponding
adjustment tools.
Adjustment via the display and adjustment unit
The adjustment is carried out menu-driven via four front keys or a turn/
push button as well as a clearly arranged, graphic-capable LC-display
with background lighting.
Wireless adjustment via Bluetooth
The integrated Bluetooth module enables wireless connection to smart-
phones/tablets (iOS/Android) or Windows PCs.
Operation is via a free app from the " Apple App Store", the " Goog-
le Play Store" or the " Baidu Store". Alternatively, adjustment can also be
carried out via PACTware/DTM and a Windows PC.

Fig. 15: Wireless connection to smartphone/table/notebook

Information:
Certain setting options are not possible or only possible to a
limited extent on site with the integrated display and adjustment
unit, for example the settings for flow measurement or pump
control. For these applications, the use of PACTware/DTM or the
VEGA Tools app is recommended. An overview of the available
applications and functions as well as their adjustment options can
be found in chapter " Selection criteria".

Access protection
Devices with a Bluetooth radio interface are protected against unwanted
access from outside. This means that only authorized persons can
receive measured and status values and change device settings via this
interface.

Protection of the parameterization

The settings (parameters) of the device can be protected against un-
wanted changes. The parameter protection is deactivated on delivery, all
settings can be made.
