Please note the Ex specic safety information which you can nd on our homepage www.vega.com Downloads Approvals and which
comes with every instrument. In hazardous areas you should take note of the corresponding regulations, conformity and type approval
certicates 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 certicate.

The sensor element is the CERTEC measuring cell with rugged ceramic
diaphragm. The process pressure causes a capacitance change in the
measuring cell via the ceramic diaphragm. This change is converted into
an appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.

The process pressure causes a resistance change in the sensor element
via the stainless steel diaphragm. This change is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value. For measuring
ranges up to 16 bar, a piezoresistive sensor element with internal transmission liquid is used. For 25 bar and up, a strain gauge sensor element is
implemented on the back side of the stainless steel diaphragm (dry).1)

Voltage supply
Depending 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 the mains circuits according
to DIN VDE 0106 part 101 is ensured for the sensor.
l
Operating voltage
- 8 30 V DC
Connection cable
The sensors are connected with standard cable without screen. An outer
cable diameter of 5 9 mm ensures the seal eect of the cable entry.
If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the test values
of EN 61326 for industrial areas, screened cable should be used.
