3.1 Connection instructions
Note the following instructions for electrical
connection:
- The connection must be made acc. to the
local installation standards (e.g. in Germany acc. to the VDE-regulations).
- The wiring between VEGAMET and sensor
can be done with standard two-wire cable.
- If strong electromagnetic interferences are
expected, screened cable is recommended. The screening must be earthed
on both ends.
- The line resistances stated in the technical
data must not be exceeded.
- If overvoltages are expected, we recommend a sensor electronics with integrated
overvoltage protection or the installation of
VEGA overvoltage arresters.
- The voltage supply of VEGAMET must
provide with extra-low voltage to ensure
protection class II. When using VEGASTAB
593 a reliable separation from the mains
circuits acc. to DIN VDE 0106, part 101 is
ensured.
3.2 Connection instructions
for Ex approved applications
The signal conditioning instruments must be
generally mounted outside the hazardous
areas, or special Ex protective measures
must be taken.
Ex separating chamber
To ensure sufficient "air and creep distance",
an Ex separating chamber must be mounted
to the connections of VEGAMET. Lead the
cables through the Ex separating chamber
and connect them. Fasten the Ex separating
chamber with the lower screw. Note the
operating instructions of the carrier BGT 596
Ex.M.
Protection in Ex applications
In Ex applications a protection class of IP 20
must be maintained. To accomplish this,
cover the gaps or free modules from the front
with suitable blind covers.
Mounting in carriers
If you mount your VEGAMET with Ex approval in a carrier, you have to use a VEGAEx module. Keep a distance of at least 10
mm (2 TE) to module cards of other manufacturers. If you want to mount VEGAMET at the
utmost left position in the carrier, you have to
mount a blind cover with at least 20 mm
(4 TE) in front of the module of the instrument.

Adjustment
4.4 Configuration and parameter
adjustment
Independent of whether you set up your
VEGAMET via the keys of the adjustment
module or via a PC with the software VVO,
the procedure is always the same.
Proceed in the following sequence:
- configuration (if not already configured as
factory setting)
- parameter adjustment.
In this operating instruction manual, the adjustment steps are described which are
directly carried out on the keys of VEGAMET.
The adjustment via the software VVO is described in a separate manual.
Configuration
Configuring means assigning or setting
(once) function. VEGAMET requires a (mostly
once) basic co-ordination, determining the
applications and the assignments of the
inputs and outputs. Choices can be made
from existing functions and options. This
procedure is called configuration. The signal
conditioning instruments are delivered with a
configuration which only needs to be
changed in special cases.
The basic configuration includes the following
steps:
1 Configuration measurement loop
• Choose the kind of application (level,
gauge…)
• Choose sensor type (capacitive, hydrostatic…)
• Specify application (standard, level
difference…)
• Determine options (no option, corrections…)
16
Note:
The measurement loop configuration can only
be modified if a "Reset to single measurement" has been carried out previosly (under
"Additional functions" in the extended menu).
If you only want to modify the sensor type,
you first have to carry out "Reset TAG 1"
(under "Additional functions" in the reduced
menu).
2 Configuration, inputs
• Determine from where your VEGAMET
receives the input data (sensor, other
VEGAMET)
• Enter sensor characteristics values (meas.
range, current range)
3 Configuration, outputs
• All outputs (except fail-safe relay) can be
assigned to a sensor or can be switched
off.
After basic configuration, VEGAMET starts
operating and indicates the actual measured
value. The other configurations should be
carried out after the parameter adjustment.
Parameter adjustment
Parameter adjustment means changing the
values. Signal conditioning instruments have
many parameters, the values of which can be
modified, such as for example the integration
time of 0 … 600 s. The modification of these
values is called parameter adjustment. The
parameter adjustment does not influence the
configuration. Take notice that parameter
adjustment is only possible after a configuration has been done (e.g. set values of the
current input when the current output has
been assigned).

Setup
5 Setup
• Adjust the VEGAMET instrument address
on the circuit board by means of the rotary
switch (only necessary, if several
VEGAMET are connected by means of
DISBUS).
• Install VEGAMET.
• Connect sensor and power supply.
• After switching on, the display indicates for
approx. 10 secs the instrument type and
the software version, e.g. "MET 514
V1.12".
• If a measurement loop has not yet been
configured, the display shows "Configuration", the red failure LED also lights. In this
case, proceed as described under "6.1
Configuration of measurement loop".
• If a measurement loop is already
configured, the display shows a value, e.g.
"TAG-No. 1 21.8 %".You can now carry out
the settings, as described in the chapter "6
Settings in the reduced menu".

By default, VEGAMET 514 is configured for
connection to a hydrostatic sensor. If, for
example, you use a capacitive electrode, you
have to proceed as follows:
Move to the menu item "Sensor type
Hydrostatic".
Push [+] or [–] once. The word "Hydrostatic"
flashes. You are now in the editing mode.
Continue pushing [+] or [–] until the display
shows "Sensor type capacitive". You are still
in the editing mode.
Now push the [OK] key. By doing this, you
save the settings and quit the editing mode.
Push [+] or [–] once. The first character of the measurement loop name,
in this example the letter T, flashes
(editing mode). Continue pushing the
[+] or [–] key, by doing this you scroll
through the alphabet, through the row of
numbers and through a list of characters.

6.2 Adjustment with medium
Adjustment example
You can either carry out the adjustment with
medium or without medium. Adjustment with
medium means that you carry out the adjustment taking the actual level into account. To
carry out an adjustment with medium, it is
necessary to know the percentage value of
the actual vessel filling.
You know that your vessel is actually
filled up to 80%. Move to the menu
item "Max. adjust at % 100.0". Push
the [–] key briefly, so that the figure
100.0 flashes (editing mode).

In this procedure, the percentage values
which correspond to the actual min. and max
fillings are entered. The adjustment sequence
of the min. and max. value is unimportant.
When you know, for example, that your filling
is actually 80 %, you can enter in the menu
max. adjustment the value "80". Later when
your filling is, for example, 10 %, you enter in
the menu min. adjustment the value "10".
You can of course carry out the adjustment
with medium at 0 % and 100 % filling. Note:
The figures 0 % and 100 % must flash (editing mode), before they can be saved with the
[OK] key.
The bigger the difference between the two
adjustment points, the more precise the
measurement over the whole measuring
curve. An adjustment at 0 % and 100 %
would be ideal. For practical reasons, it is not
always possible to completely empty or fill a
vessel. The distance between the two adjustment points, however, should be at least
10 % of the sensor range.

avoid this, the integration time can be
increased (max.

You have the possibility to protect VEGAMET
514 against unauthorised adjustment or
adjustment by mistake. Activate in the menu
"Password" the option "on" (with keys [+], [–]
and [OK]). Now you can only check the
meas. value on the display. You can still
reach any menu item with the arrow and OK
keys, but as soon as you want to modify an
adjustment, you are asked for the password.
Enter the figure "513" (with the keys [+], [–]
and [OK]), to carry out the adjustment. One
single input of the password is sufficient to
open all protected menu items.
In the menu item "TAG 1 to default" you reset
all settings concerning measurement loop 1
to default. If, for example, you have changed
the name of the measurement loop to "Silo 5",
after the reset the name is again "TAG-No. 1".
Also all adjustment values that you have
entered for measurement loop 1 are now
reset to default.

In the menu item "Language" you can choose
a language other than German such as English, French etc. as menu language (with
keys [+], [–] and [OK]).

The measurement loop configuration is normally already done at the factory. Should a
fundamental modification of the measurement
loop configuration be necessary, a "Reset to
single measurement" must first be carried out
(in the menu "Additional functions", "Reset
VEGAMET"). Only then can you modify the
adjustments in the menu items Application,
Sensor type, Mode and Option. You should,
therefore, work on the individual menu items
in the given sequence. The selection or adjustment possibilities always depend on the
adjustment in the previous menu item. If, for
example, in the menu item Application "Level"
is adjusted, the sensor mode that is suitable
for level detection can be selected in the
menu item "Sensor type".
As soon as you have carried out and confirmed an adjustment in the menu item "Option", the following message appears on the

In the menu items "Pos. D" and "Pos. E" you
can specify if input 4 is to used for one of the
stated correction modes (input 4 is the correction signal input on terminals 22d and
24d). You then have to enter a value at which
the correction should be carried out under
"Parameter adjustment" –– "Special funct." in
the menu items "Real value correc. at…" or
"Density correc. at…".
In the menu item "TAG name" you can assign
an individual name to the measurement loop.
If you choose "Fault signal off", the fail-safe
relay and the failure LED on the front plate will
be nonoperable. For a description of the
correction modes, see the following pages.
Note!
Input 4 can also be used for Tare and
Monitoring. However, it is not possible to use
it at the same time for taring, monitoring and,
for example, density correction!

Input local MET:
Here you can select another VEGAMET (e.g.
Met 04) and hence determine that the input
signal should not be taken from a directly
connected sensor, but from a VEGAMET
connected over the DISBUS (e.g. VEGAMET
514). The selected VEGAMET number corresponds to the DISBUS address of the instrument (see chapter 4.1).
The menu items "Min. meas. range" and "Max.

pressure transmitters. Sensor values are
stated in the test certificate of the hydrostatic
pressure transmitter.

PC/PLC output and DIS output:
The PC/PLC signal as well as the DIS signal
are transmitted via the DISBUS. The PC/PLC
output delivers output signals from
VEGAMET to an interface converter
VEGACOM 557. This interface converter
transfers the signals of VEGAMET via different standard protocols to connected systems (DCS/PLC). In the menu items "PLC 1
to" up to "PLC C to…" the measurement loop
can be allocated or switched off.

The current, volt and relay outputs are allocated as factory setting to measurement loop
"TAG-No. 1". All outputs can be switched off
individually (----), i.e., they will no longer
access a measurement loop.
In the menu items "PC/PLC relay status" and

The adjustment with medium corresponds
to the procedure in the reduced menu (see
appropriate chapter).
- if the medium is changed later on (medium
with another density value or DK value)
and no new adjustment can be made
or
- if the MET indication and the DIS outputs
relate to height in meters,
please note the following:
In applications with hydrostatic pressure
transmitters, the adjusted density value must
correspond to the value of the medium. In
applications with capacitive electrodes, the
adjusted DK value must correspond to the
value of the medium (water has a density of
1.0 kg/dm3 and a DK value of 81.00).
VEGAMET 514
For the adjustment without medium, two
anticipated values for level, gauge, etc.
corresponding to 0% and 100% must be
entered.
The menu item "Offset correction" is opened
when hydrostatic pressure transmitters are
connected. The offset correction should be
carried out after installation of the sensor as
the sensor values can differ slightly due to
different installation positions (vertical or
horizontal installations). With the offset correction, the meas. data of the unpressurised
sensor (vessel empty) are detected as correction values and taken into account in all
subsequent measurements.

The menu items "Scaling" and "Integration

"reduced menu" (see appropriate chapter).
The menu items "Density…" or "DK value…"
are optionally displayed when under "Configuration measurement loop" the appropriate
sensor type has been selected. The density
or DK value must, before adjustment with
medium, be so adjusted that it corresponds
to the value of the medium (see also chapter
"7.6 Adjustment").
The conditioning of VEGAMET can be
adapted to different vessel forms. The following linearisation curves are available:
- linear (factory setting)
- horiz. cylindrical tank
- spherical tank
- Lin-curve 1
- Lin-curve 2
- Lin-curve 3
Lin-curves 1 … 3 can be edited by the
user (see appropriate chapter).
38
After a scaling or linearisation, the required
output must be assigned to the scaled or
linearised value (menu item "prop. to..." and
"Unit...") under the menu "Parameter adjustment outputs".
Under Meas. value limitation you can exclude negative values.
Failure mode Standard
means that at a sensor current of 3.6 mA or
21 mA the fail-safe relay responds.
Failure mode >110%
also generates a fault signal when a meas.
value of more than 110 % or less than -10 %
is reached.

Tendency determination
The level change within the cycle time (ta) is determined and, after all cycles (n), an average

scaled value). "Prop. to volume" is then useful
if you have selected, for example, a spherical
tank or a user-programmable lin. curve under

The indicated value of the VEGAMET display
then reacts proportionally to the volume of the

Linearisation curve 1 … 3
A linearisation curve is created with a number
of index markers and their value pairs. A
value pair consists of a value for level percent (X %) and a value for volume percent
(Y V %). Up to max. 32 index markers can
be included. A linearisation curve can be
terminated after any individual number of
index markers. The signal conditioning instrument terminates the linearisation curve automatically with the values X = 100 % and Y
= 100 %.
The data for the value pairs can be determined by incremental filling or can be taken
from a table of values provided by the vessel
manufacturer.
An Example of incremental filling
Initial situation:
- you have already carried out the 0% and
100% adjustment
- the total volume of the vessel is known to
you, for example 300 m3
- the increment or gauging volume in this
example was determined at 15 m 3
46
1st index marker
- fill the vessel with the liquid quantity of the
gauging volume of 15 m3
- the value for level percent is indicated on
VEGAMET, transfer this value into the linearity protocol, column X %
- the value for volume percent must be calculated acc. to the following formula
100 % x gauging volume
Y 1 V = ––––––––––––––––––––––––
total volume
100 % x 15 m3
= ––––––––––––––– = 5 %
300 m3
Transfer this value also into the linearity
protocol, column Y V %.

With the function "TAG 1 to default" you reset
the whole configuration and parameter adjustment to factory setting. However, the
basic configuration remains, e.g. "Level
measurement/Hydrostatic".
With the function "Reset TAG 1" the basic
configuration is also deleted. Then the measurement loop must be created completely a
new (config. meas. loop).
With the function "Reset lin-curves" you can
delete your manually edited linearisation
curves.
With "Reset all curves" you delete all together,
with "Reset lin-curve 1" you always delete
only one curve.
The three pre-programmed lin-curves "linear,
horiz. cylindrical tank, spherical tank" cannot
be deleted.
With "Reset sensor values", the adjusted
sensor data of the connected sensor are
deleted.

With all outputs and with scaling, you find the
menu items "prop. to" and "Unit". Here you
can choose the measured quantity and the
suitable unit. The list of the units depends on
the selected measured quantity. In the table,
the available units are listed.

9.1 Maintenance
Configuration
The instrument is maintenance-free.
9.2 Simulation
Note
When the simulation is activated, the entire
display flashes. The measured data
delivered by the sensors are not released for
processing; you should, therefore, quit this
menu item as soon as possible. After 15
minutes there is an automatic reset to meas.
value indication.
For each individual measurement loop, you
can determine if a fault signal should be triggered or not. See menu "Configuration
measurement loop", menu item "Fault signal".
Parameter adjustment
In the menu item "Failure mode" you can determine individually for each measurement
loop whether and how an exceeding of the
measuring range should trigger a fault signal.
9.4 Repair
9.3 Fault signal
The signal conditioning instrument and the
connected sensor are permanently monitored during operation. During the parameter
adjustment, the adjusted values are checked
for plausibility. In both cases a fault signal
can be triggered by irregularities.
For safety and guarantee reasons, repair on
the instrument must only be carried out by
VEGA staff.
In case of defect, please return the affected
instrument with a short description of the fault
to our repair department.
In case of failure, an error code is displayed
(only within the meas. value indication), the
fail-safe relay deenergises, the signal lamp
lights and the outputs react according to the
preadjusted condition.
The error codes are listed in section "9.5
Error codes" on the following pages.
The diagnosis info is transmitted as a
scrolling text info.

9.5 Error codes
Error code
Meaning
E004
This operation is not supported by the instrument (different software versions).
You have tried to activate a function with a newer software version of VEGA
Visual Operating in an instrument with older software version. However, the
instrument cannot support this operation.
Have the software of your instrument updated.
E014
Possible short-circuit
Probable reasons:
- short-circuit
- sensor is defective
Check the connection cable and, if necessary, the sensor.
Probably
- an incorrect measuring range has been set on the capacitive electrode.
Adjust a smaller range.
E015
Possible line break
Probable reasons:
- no sensor connected
- line break
- sensor is defective
Check the connection cable and, if necessary, the sensor.
E016
Empty/full adjustment reversed. The values for the empty adjustment are
above the values for the full adjustment. Carry out the adjustment again.
E017
Adjustment span too small. The adjustment values are too close together or are
identical. Carry out the adjustment again.
Probably
- an incorrect measuring range has been set on the capacitive electrode.
Adjust a higher range.
E021
Span of the scaling values too small or values reversed. The scaling values are
too close together or are identical. Please check the scaling.
E022
Scaling span too big.
E027
Actual measured value is less than -10 %.
E028
Actual measured value is more than 110 %.
E031
Same DISBUS address. At least one other instrument with the same DISBUS
address is connected to the DISBUS. Please check the DISBUS address.
E032
Instrument address 0. Instrument address 0 has been set on VEGAMET. With
this address VEGAMET does not participate in the DISBUS communication,
even if the DISBUS is wired. If necessary, modify the instrument address.

Diagnostics
Error code
Meaning
E034
Instrument error. A serious error was detected on the instrument (possibly
defective EEPROM). Disconnect voltage and then reconnect (cold start). If the
error is not eliminated, please contact your VEGA agency.
E035
Instrument error. A serious error was detected on the instrument (check sum
error in EPROM). Disconnect voltage and then reconnect (cold start). If the
error is not eliminated, please contact your VEGA agency.
E050
Remote VEGAMET not found. The VEGAMET from which a measured value is
expected cannot be found.
Reasons:
- the remote VEGAMET is not connected
- no VEGAMET with this instrument address connected
- line break (DISBUS)
- shortcircuit (DISBUS)
- the remote VEGAMET is defective
- disrupted communication (DISBUS)
Probably
- failure in the DISBUS transmitter/receiver part of VEGAMET
Please check the instrument address on both VEGAMETs, the connection
cable, the remote VEGAMET and, if necessary, this VEGAMET.
E051
Failure during transmission of measured values via DISBUS. It is not possible
to receive a valid measured value via DISBUS from the remote VEGAMET; the
communication to the remote VEGAMET, however, is okay.
Reason:
- failure on remote VEGAMET
- the input of the remote VEGAMET, which should be transmitted to, is not yet
configured
Please check the remote VEGAMET and, if necessary, its input configuration.
E052
The input number of the VEGAMET from which a measured value is expected
has not yet been assigned.
E053
Span of the sensor characteristics values too small. The sensor characteristics
values are too close together or are identical.
E054
