1 Measuring principle

VEGABAR 51

The sensor element for measuring ranges up to 60 bar is the CERTEC®

measuring cell with rugged ceramic diaphragm.The hydrostatic pressure

of the product or the process pressure causes a capacitance change in

the measuring cell via the metal process diaphragm and the isolating

system. This change is converted into a corresponding output signal.

The sensor element for measuring ranges from 100 bar is a wire strain

gauge (DMS) on the back side of the process diaphragm. There, the

process pressure causes a resistance change, which is converted into

an appropriate output signal.

VEGABAR 52, 54

The sensor element is the CERTEC® measuring cell with flush, abrasion

resistant ceramic diaphragm. The hydrostatic pressure of the medium or

the process pressure causes a capacitance change in themeasuring cell

via the diaphragm. This change is converted into an appropriate output

signal.

3 Base element

The CERTEC® measuring cell is also equipped with a temperature sen-

sor.The temperature value canbedisplayed via the indicatingandadjust-

ment module or processed via the signal output.

VEGABAR 52, 54 - climate compensated

The sensor element is an encapsulated CERTEC® absolute pressure

measuring cell with front-flush, abrasion-resistant ceramic diaphragm.

The hydrostatic pressure of the medium or the process pressure causes

a capacitance change in the measuring cell via the ceramic diaphragm.

This capacitance change is converted into an electrical signal, checked

against an integrated reference pressure measurement and outputted as

measured value via the output signal.

VEGABAR 53

The process pressure acts on the sensor element via the stainless steel

diaphragm. The process pressure causes a resistance change which is

converted into a corresponding output signal and outputted asmeasured

value.

For measuring ranges up to 16 bar, a piezoresistive sensor element with

internal transmission liquid is implemented, for measuring ranges from

25 bar, a strain gauge (DMS) sensor element on the back side of the

stainless steel diaphragm (dry).

VEGABAR 55

The METEC® measuring cell is the measuring unit. It consists of the

ceramic-capacitive CERTEC® measuring cell and a special, tempera-

ture-compensating isolating system.

The hydrostatic pressure of the product or the process pressure causes a

capacitance change in the measuring cell via the metallic process dia-

phragm and the isolating liquid. This change is converted into a corre-

sponding output signal.

6 Mounting

Mounting positionThe instruments function in any installation position. But the installation

position can influence the measurement, depending on the measuring

system. This can be compensated by a position correction.

It is useful to select an installation position you can easily reach formount-

ing and connecting as well as later retrofitting of an indicating and adjust-

ment module. For this purpose, the housing can be rotated by 330° with-

out the use of any tools.You can also install the indicating andadjustment

module in four different positions (each displaced by 90°).

Mounting examplesThe following illustrations show mounting examples and measurement

setups.

Reaction vessel

Fig. 7: Level measurement in reaction vessel with VEGABAR 51

VEGABAR 51 can be also used under high temperatures.The instrument

measures the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column independent of

foam on the product surface. Its advantages are the high resistance dia-

phragm materials and the low oil volume of the isolating diaphragm.

Hence the temperature influence of the isolating diaphragm is kept low.

Drinking water network

Fig. 8: Pressure measurement on the drinking water network with VEGABAR 52

Thewater pressure in drinkingwater networks is continuouslymonitored.

Because pumping stations are often situated in remote areas, there is a

great demand for maintenance free, reliable measurement technology.

The VEGABAR 52 pressure transmitter meets these requirements.With

its robust ceramic CERTEC® measuring cell, VEGABAR 52 is the best

choice for monitoring pressure in pipeline systems.

Chemical pump

Fig. 9: Dry run protection on a chemical pump with VEGABAR 53

TheVEGABAR53pressure transmitterwithpiezoresistivemeasuringcell

andmetal diaphragm is deployed as dry run protection system for chem-

ical pumps. Its strengths are the small, front-flush process fitting, also for

small tube diameters, as well as the chemically resistant process dia-

phragm.

Storage tower

Fig. 10: Level measurement on storage towers with VEGABAR 54

In thepaper industry, the prepared stock is stored in large storage towers.

Level measurement in the lower section prevents the agitator from run-

ningdry.For thispurpose, theVEGABAR54pressure transmitterwithball

valve fitting is used. The advantages are: front-flush mounting in the ball

valve fitting, mounting and dismounting without emptying the storage

tower.

Mounting


37528-EN-100415

Bitumen vessel

Fig. 11: Level measurement in a bitumen vessel with VEGABAR 55

VEGABAR 55 pressure transmitters are particularly suitable for hydro-

static level measurement of hot bitumen. The special configuration of its

metalMETEC®measuringcell ensures temperature decouplingbetween

process fitting and electronics and thus enables application up to 200 °C

(392 °F).

7 Electronics - 4… 20mA - two-wire

Configuration of the electronicsThe pluggable electronics is mounted in the electronics compartment of

the instrument and can be exchanged by the user when servicing is re-

quired. The electronics is completely encapsulated to protect against

vibration and moisture.

The terminals for voltage supply as well as the plug with I²C interface for

parameter adjustment are located on the upper side of the electronics.

With thedouble chamberhousing, theseconnectionelementsare located

in the separate connection compartment.

Voltage supplyDepending on the version, the supply voltage and the current signal are

carried on the same two-wire connection cable.

The VEGA power supply units VEGATRENN 149AEx, VEGASTAB 690,

VEGADIS 371 as well as VEGAMET signal conditioning instruments are

suitable for power supply. When one of these instruments is used, a

reliable separation of the supply circuits from themains circuits according

to DIN VDE 0106 part 101 is ensured for the sensor.

l Operating voltage

- 12… 36 V DC

l Permissible residual ripple

- Upp < 1 V (< 100 Hz)

- Upp < 10mV (100… 10 kHz)

Connection cableThe sensors are connected with standard cable without screen. An outer

cable diameter of 5 … 9 mm ensures the seal effect of the cable entry.

If electromagnetic interference is expectedwhich is above the test values

of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should be used.

Cable screening and groundingIf screened cable is necessary, the cable screen must be connected on

both ends to ground potential. If potential equalisation currents are ex-

pected, the connectionon theevaluationsidemustbemadevia aceramic

capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V).

PACTware/DTMIndependent of the respective signal output 4 … 20 mA/HART, Profibus

PA or Foundation Fieldbus, the sensors can be adjusted with PACTware

directly on site. The sensors with signal output 4… 20mA/HART can be

also operated via the HART signal on the signal cable.

A VEGACONNECT interface adapter as well as an instrument driver for

the respective sensor is necessary for adjustment with PACTware. All

currently available VEGA DTMs are included as a DTM Collection with

the current PACTware version on a CD. They can be purchased for a

token fee from the responsible VEGA agency. In addition, this DTM Col-

lection incl. the basic version of PACTware can be downloaded free of

charge from the Internet.

To use the entire range of functions of aDTM, includingproject documen-

tation, aDTM licence is required for that particular instrument family. This

licence can be bought from the VEGA agency serving you.
