4 Mounting

4.1 General instructions

Select an installation position you can easily reach for

mounting and connecting as well as later retrofitting of an

indicating and adjustment module. The housing can be rotated

by 330° without the use of any tools. You can also install the

indicating and adjustment module in four different positions

(each displaced by 90°).

Mount the instrument at a place where there are as few

obstacles as possible between the emitter and receiver. Direct

intervisibility is the optimal precondition for the radio link. To

bypass possible obstacles, a remote antenna with a 3 m cable

is optionally available for standard versions.

Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to

power supply") and tighten the cable gland.

You can give your instrument additional protection against

moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down-

ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water

can thus drain off. This applies mainly to mounting outdoors, in

areas where moisture is expected (e.g. by cleaning processes)

or on cooled or heated vessels.

5 Connecting to power supply

5.1 Preparing the connection

Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:

l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage

l If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters

should be installed

In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate

regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the

sensors and power supply units.

Two power supply unit versions are available. You can find

detailed information on the power supply in chapter "Technical

data" in the "Supplement".

Power supply of PLICSRADIO T61 is connected with standard

cable according to the national installation standards.

Standard two-wire cable with screening can be used for

connecting the sensors. The screening is absolutely neces-

sary to ensure interference-free operation with HART sensors.

Connect the cable screen on both ends to ground potential. In

the sensor, the screen must be connected directly to the

internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the outside of

the sensor housing must be connected to the potential

equalisation (low impedance).

If potential equalisation currents are expected, the screen

connection on the side of PLICSRADIO T61 must be made via

a ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency

potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the

protective effect against high frequency interference signals

remains.

Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex

applications. In particular, make sure that no potential equal-

isation currents flow over the cable screen. In case of

grounding on both sides this can be achieved by the use of a

capacitor or a separate potential equalisation.

Information:

Two-wire or four-wire instruments can be connected. In the

menu you can switch over between active (standard setting)

and passive operation of the measuring data input. The

connection assignment is the same for both modes.

l In active mode, PLICSRADIO T61 provides the voltage

supply for the connected sensors. This mode is for

connection of pressure transmitters without separate

supply voltage (sensors in two-wire version).

l In the passive mode, the sensors are not powered - only

the measured value is transmitted. This input is for sensors

with their own, separate power supply (sensors in four-wire

version).On a PLICSRADIO T61 in Ex version, the passive

input is not available for approval-technical reasons.

6.4 Setup procedure

Setup is comprised mainly of the radio connection adjustment

(selection radio channel and safe operation). The selection of

the requested indication value, e.g. in percent, linearized

percent or scaled are further adjustment options (only when

connecting VEGA sensors). Setup of the sensor itself is not

explained in detail here. You can find that in the operating

instructions of the respective instrument. Take note that the

HART sensor must not operate in multidrop mode, it is

absolutely necessary that it be provided with HART address 0(standard setting).

After being switched on, PLICSRADIO T61 first of all carries

out a short self-check. The following steps are carried out:

l Internal check of the electronics

l indication of the instrument type, firmware version as well

as the instrument TAG (instrument name)

l Enquiry of the sensor input

l Establishment of a radio connection

The measured value indication displays the digital indication

value, the measurement loop designation (measurement loop

TAG) and the unit. The actual signal strength can be also

displayed. By pushing the [>] key, you move between the

7 Setup with PACTware™

7.1 Connecting the PC

As an alternative to the setup via indicating and adjustment

module, the parameter adjustment is also possible via PC. For

connection you require the VEGACONNECT 4 interface

converter. This converter can be inserted into PLICSRADIO

T61 instead of the indicating and adjustment module. The

connection to the PC is carried out via the USB interface. The

parameter adjustment of a connectedVEGA HART sensor can

be also carried out via this connection. Further information is

specified in the operating instructions manual of "VEGA-

CONNECT 4".

Note:

Connection of VEGACONNECT or a HART modem directly to

the 4 … 20 mA sensor cable is not possible.

7.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware™

To adjust PLICSRADIO T61 via a Windows-PC, the config-

uration software PACTware™ and a suitable instrument driver

(DTM) according to FDT standard are necessary. The VEGA

DTMs can be also integrated in other frame applications

according to FDT standard.

All currently available VEGA DTMs are provided under the

name "DTM Collection" with the current PACTware™ version

on CD. They are available from the responsible VEGA agency

for a token fee. The basic version of this DTM Collection incl.

PACTware™ is available as a free-of charge download from

our homepage www.vega.com.

The professional version also includes saving and printing of

project documentation. A DTM licence for the appropriate

instrument family can be purchased from the responsible

VEGA agency.

Note:

To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you

should always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not

all described functions are included in older firmware versions.

The latest instrument software can be downloaded from our

homepage. The transmission of the instrument software is

carried out via PACTware™. A description of the update

procedure is also available in the Internet.

Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions

manual "DTM Collection/PACTware™" attached to each CD

and which can also be downloaded from our homepage. A

detailed description is available in the online help of

PACTware™ and the VEGA DTMs.

8 Maintenance and fault rectification

8.1 Maintenance

When used as directed in normal operation, PLICSRADIO T61is completely maintenance free.

8.2 Fault clearance

The operator of the system is responsible for taken suitable

measures to remove interferences.

PLICSRADIO T61 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless

faults can occur during operation. These may be caused by the

following, e.g.:

l Measured value from sensor not correct

l Voltage supply

l Interference on the cables

The first measures to be taken are to check the input and

output signals as well as to evaluate the error messages via

the display. The procedure is described below. Further

comprehensive diagnostics can be carried out on a PC with

the PACTware™ and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the

causes can be determined in this way and faults can be

rectified.

However, if these measures are not successful, call the VEGA

service hotline in urgent cases under the phone no. +49 1805

858550.

The hotline is available to you 7 days a week round-the-clock.

Since we offer this service world-wide, the support is only

available in the English language. The service is free of

charge, only the standard telephone costs will be charged.
