3.2 Principle of operation

VEGAMET 625 is a universal signal conditioning instrument for anumber of applications such as level, gauge, interface and processpressure measurement. At the same time, it can serve as powersupply unit for connected sensors. VEGAMET 625 is designed forconnection of two independent VEGA HART sensors. Hence twoindependent measurements can be carried out. By means of a thirdmeasurement loop, the difference between the two input values can becalculated.

On instruments with one of the optional interfaces (RS232/Ethernet),the measured values can be retrieved via modem or network anddisplayed by means of a web browser, Visual VEGA or WEB-VV. It isalso possible to send measured values and messages via e-mail. Theuse of VEGAMET 625 is particularly suitable for stocktaking, VMI

(Vendor Managed Inventory) and remote enquiry.

The VEGAMET 625 signal conditioning instrument can power twoHART sensors and process their measured signals via the samecable. The measured value transmission is carried out via a digital bussystem (HART Multidrop). The requested parameter is displayed andalso sent to the integrated current outputs for further processing.Hence the measured signal can be transferred to a remote indicationor a superordinate control system. Three level relays for control ofpumps or other actuators are also integrated.

Wide-range power supply unit with 20 … 253 V AC/DC for world-wideuse.

Detailed information about the power supply can be found in chapter"Technical data".

3.3 Operation

4 Mounting

4.1 General instructions

Each series 600 instrument consists of the actual signal conditioninginstrument as well as a plug-in socket for carrier rail mounting.Because it has protection class IP 30 or IP 20, the instrument isintended to be used in switching cabinets.

4.2 Mounting instructions

The plug-in socket is designed for carrier rail mounting according toEN 50022. The operating voltage is connected to terminals 17 and 18.

For neighbouring series 600 instruments it is possible to continueconnection L1 and N directly via the supplied bridges. Max. fiveinstruments can be connected through in this way.

Danger:

Looping through via bridges is only allowed for operating voltage(sockets L1 and N). The bridges must never be used with singleinstruments, at the end of a row of instruments or with other sockets. Ifthis rule is not heeded, there is a danger of coming into contact withthe operating voltage or causing a short circuit.

A VEGAMET 625 in Ex version is an auxiliary, intrinsically safeinstrument and may not be installed in explosion-endangered areas.

Before setup, the Ex separating chamber must be attached (as shownbelow) with Ex versions. Safe operation can be only ensured if theoperating instructions manual and the EG type approval certificate areobserved. VEGAMET 625 must not be opened.

All signal conditioning instruments are provided with different gapsdependent on type and version (mechanical coding).

The plug-in socket is provided with coded pins that can be inserted toprevent accidental interchanging of the various instrument types.

With a VEGAMET 625 in Ex version, the supplied coded pins (typecoded pin and Ex coded pin)must be inserted by the user according tothe below chart.

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 voltagel If overvoltages are expected, install overvoltage arresters

In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriateregulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the sensorsand power supply units.

The voltage supply can be 20 … 253 V AC/DC, 50/60 Hz.

The operating voltage of VEGAMET 625 is connected with standardcable according to the national installation standards.

Standard two-wire cable can be used for connecting the sensors. Thescreening is absolutely necessary to ensure interference-free oper-ation with HART sensors.

Connect the cable screen on both ends to ground potential. In thesensor, the screen must be connected directly to the internal groundterminal. The ground terminal on the outside of the sensor housingmust be connected to the potential equalisation (low impedance).

If potential equalisation currents are expected, the screen connectionon the side of VEGAMET 625 must be made via a ceramic capacitor(e. g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation currentsare thus suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequencyinterference signals remains.

Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Exapplications. In particular, make sure that no potential equalisationcurrents flow over the cable screen. In case of grounding on both sidesthis can be achieved by the use of a capacitor or a separate potentialequalisation.

5.2 Connection procedure

Note:

Before the actual setup, each HART sensors must be assigned anaddress (address range 1-15), (see chapter "Setup"). Address 0

(mode 4 … 20 mA) must not be used. When assigning an address,only one sensor should be connected to VEGAMET 625. If connectionis completed already, the wiring must be briefly cancelled foraddressing. Depending on the installation location of the sensors, itcan be advantageous to carry out this addressing before installing and

connecting the sensors. This can be conveniently carried out e.g. inthe workshop. You just need a 24 Volt power supply as well as anindicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM or the adjustmentsoftware PACTware with VEGACONNECT.

Move on to electrical connection and proceed as follows:

1 Snap the socket without VEGAMET 625 onto the carrier rail

2 Connect sensor cable to terminal 1/2 (active input) or 3/4 (passiveinput), provide a screening

3 When using several sockets, loop the power supply by means ofbridges

4 Connect power supply (switched off) to terminal 17 and 18

5 If necessary, connect relays or other outputs

6 Insert VEGAMET 625 into the plug-in socket and screw it downtightly

Note:

If the addressing of the sensors has not yet been carried out, only onesensor must be connected. Addressing (see chapter "Setup") of thefirst sensor can then be carried out. Afterwards, the first sensor mustbe disconnected again and the next sensor connected and providedwith an address. Then all sensors can be connected and setup can bestarted.

Before setting up Ex versions, make sure the Ex separating chamber isplugged on the left housing side (above the sensor terminals). Thepins for type and Ex coding must also be inserted correctly.

Information:

l On the active input (terminal 1/2), VEGAMET 625 provides powerfor the connected sensors. Power supply and measurement dataare transmitted over the same two-wire cable. This mode isprovided for connection of measuring transducers without sepa-rate operating voltage (sensors in two-wire version).

l On the passive input (terminals 3/4), the sensors are not powered -

only the measured value is transmitted. This input is for sensorswith their own, separate operating voltage (sensors in four-wireversion). On a VEGAMET 625 in Ex version, the passive input isnot available due approval-technical reasons.

Note:

VEGAMET 625 is designed for connection of two HART sensors.Because they are accessed via different addresses in the HART

multidrop mode, both sensors are connected to the same sensor input.These are either terminals 1/2 (active input) or terminals 3/4 (passiveinput). Simultaneous mixed operation on active and passive input is

VEGAMET 625 • Double channel HART signal conditioning instrument 13

5 Connecting to power supply28970-EN-091116

not possible. The measured value transmission is carried out via thedigital HART signal. An analogue 4 … 20 mA transmission is notpossible. Because this is a digital bus system, only one two-wire cableshould lead to the two sensors. A distributor can be connected directlyin front of the sensors. As an alternative, the connection to the nextsensor can be continued via the second cable entry in the sensorhousing. The addressing of the sensors should be carried out beforeconnection, see chapter "Set up".

Note:

Approx. 10 minutes after the last pressing of a key, an automatic resetto measured value indication is triggered. Any values not confirmedwith [OK] will not be saved.

6.2 Setup procedure

Through parameter adjustment, the instrument is adapted to theindividual application conditions. Calibration of the measuring point isthe most important step and should always be carried out. A scaling ofthe measured value to the desired physical variable and unit, possiblyincluding a linearization curve, is often useful. The adaptation of therelay switching points or the setting of an integration time to smooth themeasured value are further standard adjustment options.

For instruments with Ethernet interface, the instrument must beprovided with an IP address and subnet mask suitable for theinstrument. As an alternative, addressing via DHCP and a host nameis also possible. If necessary, the e-mail/webserver can be alsoconfigured with PACTware.

Information:

When using PACTware and the corresponding VEGA DTM, additionalsettings can be carried out which are not or only partly possible withthe integrated indicating and adjustment unit. When using an adjust-ment software, you either need one of the integrated interfaces(RS232/Ethernet) or the interface converter VEGACONNECT.

Further instructions for setting up the web server and e-mail functionsare stated in the online help of PACTware or the VEGAMET 625 DTMsas well as the supplementary instructions manual "RS232/Ethernetconnection".

VEGAMET 625 can process measured values of more than one HART

sensor. The measured values are transmitted as digital HART signalsto the same cable (bus). An analogue 4 … 20 mA transmission is notpossible, the current is limited to 4 mA. An own, unambiguous address(address range 1-15) must be assigned to each connected sensor.This mode is also called HART multidrop mode. Address 0 (mode4 … 20 mA) must not be used.

Note:

When addresses are being assigned, only one sensor must beconnected on the bus. If this is not the case, no sensor can beaccessed and it is not possible to assign an address.

The addressing can be carried out directly on each HART sensor viathe respective adjustment unit or adjustment software. As analternative, the setting of the sensor address can be also carried outvia the VEGAMET menu under "Service - Sensor address" (seechapter "Setup procedure" under "Service - Change sensor address").

instrument TAG (instrument name)l The output signals jump briefly to the set fault value

After the assignment of the addresses to the sensors, the currentmeasured values will be displayed and outputted.

As requested, the measured value display shows the individualmeasurement loops separately or in a joint overview. The respectivedigital display value, the measurement loop designation (meas. loopTAG) and the unit are shown. With the separate presentation, ananalogue bar graph is also displayed and the measured values appearin bigger font size. By pushing the [>] key, you move between thedifferent indicating options.

Note:

Depending on the configuration and use of all measurement loops, thecycle time for the measured value transmission can take up to fiveseconds.

With the Ethernet interface, the instrument can be connected directlyto an existing PC network. Any standard patch cable can be used. Across-over cable must be used when connecting the instrumentdirectly to the PC. To reduce EMC interferences, the supplied splitferrite should be connected to the Ethernet cable. Each instrumentthen gets its own IP address under which it can be accessed fromanywhere in the network. The parameter adjustment of the instrumentvia PACTware and DTM can be carried out from any PC. Themeasured values can be made available to individual users within thecompany network as HTML chart. As an alternative, the independent,time or event-controlled transmission of measured values via e-mail isalso possible. The measured values can also be called up via avisualisation software.

7.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware

As an alternative to the integrated indicating and adjustment unit, theadjustment can be also carried out via a Windows PC. For this, theconfiguration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver(DTM) according to the FDT standard are required. The actualPACTware version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in aDTM Collection. Furthermore, the DTMs can be integrated into otherframe applications according to the FDT standard.

Note:

To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you shouldalways use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not all describedfunctions are included in older firmware versions. The latest instrumentsoftware can be also downloaded from our homepage. A description ofthe update procedure is also available in the Internet.

Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions manual"DTM Collection/PACTware" attached to each DTM Collection andwhich can also be downloaded from the Internet. A detaileddescription is available in the online help of PACTware and the DTMsas well as in the supplementary instructions manual "RS232/Ethernetconnection".

Information:

To access the connected sensors, the addressing must be alreadycarried out, see chapter "Setup procedure - Set HART address". If theaddressing should be carried out now via PACTware, then also onlyone sensor must be connected.

When connecting via Ethernet, VEGAMET 625 must be provided witha suitable IP address and subnet mask. If the project setup is carriedout without assistant (online mode), IP address and subnet mask mustbe entered additionally in the DTM. Click in the project window with theright mouse key to the Ethernet DTM and choose "Add. functions -

Modify DTM addresses".

All device DTMs are available as a free-of-charge standard versionand as a full version that must be purchased. In the standard version,all functions for complete setup are already included. An assistent forsimple project configuration simplifies the adjustment considerably.Saving/printing the project as well as import/export functions are alsopart of the standard version.

In the full version there is also an extended print function for completeproject documentation as well as a save function for measured valueand echo curves. In addition, there is a tank calculation program aswell as a multiviewer for display and analysis of the saved measuredvalue and echo curves.

8.1 Level measurement in a cylindrical tank with

overfill protection/dry run protection

The level is detected via a sensors and transmitted to the signalconditioning instrument by means of a 4 … 20 mA signal. Here, anadjustment is carried out converting the input value delivered by thesensor into a percentage value.

Due to the geometrical form of the cylindrical tank, the vessel volumedoes not increase linear with the level. This can be compensated byselecting the linearization curve integrated in the instrument. Thiscurve states the relation between percentage level and vessel volume.If the level should be displayed in litres, also a scaling must be carriedout. For this purpose, the linearized percentage value is converted intoa volume, for example with the unit litres.

The filling and emptying is controlled vial relay 1 and 2 integrated inthe signal conditioning instrument. During filling, relay mode "Overfill

protection" is adjusted. The relay is hence switched off (safecurrentless condition) when the max. level is exceeded, when fallingbelow the min. level it is switched on again (switch on point < switch offpoint). During emptying, mode "Dry run protection" is used. This relayis hence switched off when falling below the min. level (safecurrentless condition), when falling below the min. level it is switchedon again (switch on point > switch off point).

A cylindrical tank has a capacity of 10000 litres. The measurement iscarried out with a level sensor operating according to the principle ofthe guided microwave. The filling by a tank car is controll via relay 1

and a valve (overfill protection). The discharge is carried out via apump and is controlled by relay 2 (dry run protection). The max.

volume should be at 90 % level, these are 9538 litres with a standardvessel (according to bearing chart). The min. level should be adjustedto 5 %, this corresponds to 181 litres. The volume should be displayedin litres.

Carry out the adjustment in the signal conditioning instrument asdescribed in chapter "Setup steps". No additional adjustment musthence be carried out on the sensors. For the max. adjustment, fill thevessel up to the requested max. level and accept the actuallymeasured value. If this is not possible, the respective current value canbe entered alternatively. For the min. adjustment, empty the vessel upto the min. level or enter the respective current value.

To display the percentage level correctly, select under "Measurement

loop - Linearization curve" the entry "Cylindrical tank".

The display the volume in litres, you have to enter under "Measure-

ment loop - Scaling" as unit "Volume" in litres. Finally, the allocation iscarried out, in this example 100 % ≙ 10000 litres and 0 % ≙ 0 litres.

Percent is selected as reference value for the relays. The mode ofrelay 1 is set to overfill protection, relay 2 gets mode dry run protection.To ensure that the pump switches off in case of failure, the reaction incase of failure should be adjusted to switching status OFF. Theswitching points are adjusted as follows:

l Relay 1: Switch off point 90 %, switch on point 85 %

l Relay 2: Switch off point 5 %, switch on point 10 %

Information:

The switch on and off point of the relays must not be adjusted to thesame switching point because this would cause a permanent switchinon and off when this threshold is reached. To avoid this effect also withfluctuating product surface, a difference (hysteresis) of 5 % is usefulbetween the switching points.

8.2 Weir control of a water power station

A water power turbine must be protected against impurities in flowingwater. These impurities get stuck on the weir like on a screen. Themust be removed cyclacylly so that the max. flow is ensured. If thedegree of impurity is too high, the water level in front of the systemraises because the total water volume can no longer flow through. Thedifference between level in front of and after the weir is hence ameasure of the degree of impurity and can be used to control the weircleaner.

The water level in front of the weir (upstream water) and after the weir(downstream water) is measured each with a VEGAWELL 72 HART.

VEGAMET 625 generates the difference (h3) out of these two levels(measurement loop 3). If this difference is too high, a signal will be

The following steps are necessary:

l Selection of the application

- Select under "Device settings - Application" the entry "Stand-

ard" and confirm with [OK]. Via the [->] key you reach the nextstep.

l Addressing of the sensors

- Since both sensors are addressed via HART multidrop, first ofall the sensor addressing must be carried out (see chapter"Setup procedure")

- Connect sensor 1 for upstream water- Enter now under "Service - Change sensor address" in the

menu item "New address" HART address "01"

- Disconnect sensor 1 and connect sensor 2 for downstreamwater

- Assign HART address "02"

- Reconnect sensor 1

VEGAMET 625 • Double channel HART signal conditioning instrument 43

8 Application examples28970-EN-091116

l Assignment of the inputs and measurement loops

- Measurement loop 1 (upstream water): Start under"Measurement loops - Meas. loop 1 - Input - Change input 1 -

Sensor selection" the menu item "Sensor search". Withcorrect addressing, both sensors must be displayed. Selectthe first sensor with address 01

- Measurement loop 2 (downstream water): Go under"Measurement loops - Measurement loop 1 - Input - Change

input 1 - Sensor selection" to the menu item "Sensor list".

Select the second sensor with address 02

- Measurement loop 3 (difference): This measurement loopcalculates automatically without further settings the differencebetween upstream water and downstream water (measure-ment loop 1 minus measurement loop 2)

l Adjustment

- Measurement loop 1 (upstream water): Select under"Measurement loops -Meas. loop 1 - Adjustment" in the menuitem "Adjustment unit" the unit "m" (meter) and the density unit"1.000 kg/dm³". Enter under "Min. adjustment" 0.00 m andunder "Max. adjustment" the max. level in meter (h1) ein. I.e. inthe existing example 2 m

- Measurement loop 2 (downstream water): Carry out theadjustment with the same specifications as for measurementloop 1

- Measurement loop 3 (difference): The adjustment of theupstream water is taken over automatically (0 % ≙ 0.00m,

100% ≙ 2 m)

l Relay configuration

- Select under "Measurementloops - Meas. loop 3 - Outputs -

Relay otuputs - Relay 3 - Overfill protection - Percent" themenu item "Switching points relay 3". Enter for switching point"OFF" 10 % and for switching point "ON" 5 %. With thesesettings, the relay deenergizes at a difference of 20 cm andswitches on again at 10 cm. Hence the cleaning procedurestarts with a gauge difference of more than 20 cm and isrunning until the difference is again below 10 cm.

8.3 Interface measurement with VEGAFLEX 67

In an interface measurement, there are two different media which donot mix, e. g. water and oil or solvents. To detect the volume of bothproducts, it is necessary to detect the height of the upper liquid (level)and the interface between the two products. A VEGAFLEX 67 isnecessary as a transmitter which delivers the distance to the uppermedium as well as the distance to the interface. Via the adjustment inVEGAMET 625 the level, interface and layer thickness of the uppermedium can be calculated and displayed.

The following steps are necessary:

44 VEGAMET 625 • Double channel HART signal conditioning instrument

8 Application examples28970-EN-091116

l Selection of the application

- Select under "Device settings - Application" the entry "Inter-

face measurement" and confirm with [OK]. Via the [->] keyyou reach the next step.

l Assignment of the inputs and measurement loops

- Select "Input - Change input". Now the automatic sensorsearch is started and if connected correctly, VEGAFLEX 67

will be displayed. Take over the selection with [OK] and moveto the adjustment of the dielectric value with [->]. The inputvariables are assigned automatically to the following meas-urement loops:

- Meas. loop 1: Interface (level of the lower medium)

- Meas. loop 2: Level (total level of both products)- Meas. loop 3: Layer thickness (thickness of the upper

medium)

l Input of the DK value

- Enter here the exact dielectric value of the upper medium.

This value is then transferred automatically to VEGAFLEX 67.

Further information on the dielectric value are available in theoperating instructions manua of VEGAFLEX 67. For thisapplication, do not enter a dielectric value directly onVEGAFLEX 67, because this value will be overwrittenautomatically by VEGAMET 625

l Adjustment

- Each VEGAFLEX 67 is shipped with default settings. Thevalues of this adjustment are automatically tranferred toVEGAMET 625 during the setup of the interface measure-ment. Hence, manual adjustment is usually not necessary.Should the instrument require a special adjustment, thisadjustment can be carried out any time under "Measurement

loops - Adjustment". Keep in mind that this adjustment mustthen be carried out separately for all three measurementloops.

8.4 Pump control 1/2 (running time controlled)

Pump control 1/2 is used to control several pumps with the samefunction dependent on the previous running time. The pump with theshortest running time is always switched on and the pump with thelongest running time switched off. In case of higher requirements, allpumps can also run at the same time dependent on the enteredswitching points. Through this measure, a balanced utilization of thepumps is achieved and the reliability increased.

All relays with activated pump control are not assigned to a certainswitching point but are switched on or off depending on the operatingtime. The signal conditioning instrument selects the relay with theshortest operating time when the switch-on point is reached, and therelay with the longest operating time when the switch-off point isreached.

With this pump control, there are two different versions:

l Pump control 1: The upper switching point determines the switch-off point for the relay, whereas the lower switching pointdetermines the switch-on point

l Pump control 2: The upper switching point determines the switch-on point for the relay, whereas the lower switching pointdetermines the switch-off point

Functional principle

46 VEGAMET 625 • Double channel HART signal conditioning instrument

8 Application examples28970-EN-091116

Two pumps should empty the vessel when a certain level is reached.At 80 % filling, the pump with the shortest running time should switchon. If the level nevertheless increases, a second pump should switchon at 90 %. Both pumps should switch off again at 10 % filling.

Select in the DTM navigation section the menu items "Meas. loop -

Outputs - Relay".

l Set mode "Pump control 2" for relay 1 and 2.

l Enter the switching points for the concerned relays as follows:- Relay 1 upper switching point = 80.0 %

- Relay 1 lower switching point = 10.0 %

- Relay 2 upper switching point = 90.0 %

- Relay 2 lower switching point = 10.0 %

The function of pump control 2 is shown in detail in the followingdiagram. The previously described example is used as a basis.

After the signal conditioning instrument is switched on, the relays arestill in switched-off condition. Depending on the input signal and theswitch-on period of the individual relays, the following relay switchingconditions can occur after the start procedure:

l Input signal is higher than the upper switching point -> Relay withthe shortest switch on period is switched on

l Input signal is between lower and upper switching point -> Relayremains switched off

l Input signal is smaller than the lower switching point -> Relayremains switched off

8.5 Tendency recognition

The function of the tendency recognition is to recognize a definedchange within a certain time period and to transfer this information to arelay output.

The information for tendency recognition is generated out of themeasured value change per time unit. The output variable is alwaysthe measured value in percent. The function can be configured forrising and falling tendency. The actual measured value is determinedand summed with a sample rate of a second. After the max. reactiontime, the average value is generated out of this sum. The realmeasured value change results then of the newly calculated averagevalue less the previously calculated average value. If this differenceexceeds the defined percentage value, the tendency recognitionresponds and the relay deenergises.

Note:

The activation and configuration of the tendency recognition requiresPACTware with the suitable DTM. Setting parameters via theintegrated indicating and adjustment unit is not possible.

l Measured value change higher: Measured value change pertime unit, at which the tendency recognition should respond

l Max. reaction time: Time after which a new measured valuegeneration is carried out and the measured value change isrecalculated

l Hysteresis: is automatically always 10 % of the value of"Measured value change more than"

l Reaction in case of failure: In case of a failure, the relay goesinto the defined condition

Note:

After switching on or a failure, always two complete cycles must beexecuted until a measured value difference can be calculated and atendency can be outputted.

The level in a basin should be monitored on rising tendency. If the riseis higher than 25 % per minute, an additional emptying pumpt shouldbe switched on. The max. reaction time should be one minute. In caseof a probable failure, the pump should be switched off.

Select in the DTM navigation section the menu items "Meas. loop -

Outputs - Relay".

l E.g. set for relay 1 the mode "Rising tendency"

l Select under "Reaction in case of failure" the option "Switching

condition off"

l Enter the following values into the parameter fields:- Measured value more than 25 %/min.- Max. reaction time 1 min.

8.6 Flow measurement

For flow measurement in open flumes, a contraction or standardisedflume must be used. Depending on the flow volume, this contractiongenerates a certain backwater. The flow can be determined from theheight of this backwater. The flow volume is outputted by anappropriate number of pulses on the relay or current output.

Depending on the type and version, each flume generates a differentbackwater. The data of the following flumes are available in theinstrument:

l Palmer-Bowlus-Flumel Venturi flume, trapezoidal weir, rectangular weirl V-Notch

Setup

The configuration of the flow measurement loop requires PACTwarewith the suitable DTMs. The example refers to a flow measurementwith a radar sensor. The following setup steps must be carried out:

l Selection of the parameter "Flow"l Carrying out adjustmentl Select flume (linearization)l Set scalingl Parameter adjustment of pulse outputs

Functional principle

Flume

VEGAMET 625 • Double channel HART signal conditioning instrument 49

Select in the DTM window "Parameter" the option "Flow" with therequested unit of measurement.

Min. adjustment: Enter the suitable value for 0 %, i.e. the distancefrom the sensor to the medium as long as there is no flow. These are inthe following example 1.40 m.

Max. adjustment: Enter the suitable value for 100 %, i.e. the distancefrom the sensor to the medium, with the max. flow volume. This is inthe following example 0.80 m.

100% 0,80m (d)= 400m3/h=

0% 1,40m (d)= 0m3/h=

Fig. 15: Adjustment flow measurement with V-notch

Select in the DTM window "Linearization" the option "Flow" and thenthe used flume (in the above example V-notch).

Select in the DTM window "Scaling" under "Parameter" the option"Flow". Finally the allocation of a value must be carried out, i.e. the flowvolume is assigned to the 0 and 100 % value. As the last step, selectthe requested meas. unit. For above example: 0 % = 0 and 100 % =

400, meas. unit m³/h.

First of all decide if you want to use a relay and/or a current output. Inthe DTM window "Outputs" you can use any of the three outputs aslong as these are not yet used for other tasks.

Finally select under "Mode" (relay) or "Output characteristics" (currentoutput) the option "Flow volume pulse" or "Sampling pulse". Enterunder "Pulse output all" the flow volume after which a pulse should beoutputted (e.g. 400 m³ corresponds to one pulse per hour with a flowvolume of 400 m³/h).

In mode "Sampling pulse" an additional pulse is outputted after adefined time. This means that a timer is started after each pulse afterwhich another pulse is outputted. This applies only if already a pulsewas outputted after exceeding the flow volume.

Due to sludge at the bottom of the flume, it can happen that the min.adjustment originally carried out can no longer be reached. Thereforesmall quantities will continuously enter the flow volume detectiondespite the "empty" flume. The option "Min. flow volume suppression"

offers the possibility to suppress measured flow volumes below acertain percentage value for the flow volume detection.

9 Maintenance and fault rectification

9.1 Maintenance

When used as directed in normal operation, VEGAMET 625 iscompletely maintenance free.

9.2 Rectify malfunctions

The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable measuresto rectify malfunctions.

A maximum of reliability is ensured. Nevertheless, faults can occurduring operation. These may be caused by the following, e.g.:

l Measured value from sensor not correctl Power supplyl Interference on the cables

The first measures to be taken are to check the input and output signalas well as to evaluate the error messages via the display. Theprocedure is described below. Further comprehensive diagnostics canbe carried out on a PC with PACTware and the suitable DTM. In manycases, the causes can be determined in this way and faults rectified.

However, should these measures not be 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. Sincewe offer this service world-wide, the support is only available in theEnglish language. The service is free of charge, only the standardtelephone costs will be charged.

The signal conditioning instrument and the connected sensors arepermanently monitored during operation and the values entered duringparameter adjustment are checked for plausibility. If irregularitiesoccur or in case of incorrect parameter adjustment, a fault signal istriggered. In case of an instrument defect or line break/shortcircuit, afault signal is also triggered.

The fail safe relay deenergises in case of failure, the failure indicationlights and the current outputs react according to their configuredcontrol behaviour. In addition, one of the following fault messages isoutputted on the display.
