Operating Instructions - VEGAPULS 54K enamel

Measuring system with VEGAPULS 54K in four-wire technology
Four-wire technology, power supply and output signal via two separate two-wire cables.
Output signal 4 … 20 mA active.
Optional external indicating instrument with analogue and digital indication (can be mounted
up to 25 m away from the sensor).
Adjustment with PC, HART ® handheld or adjustment module MINICOM (can be plugged into
the sensor or into the indicating instrument VEGADIS 50).
max. resistance on the signal output (load) 500 Ω

1) If the resistance of the processing systems
connected to the 4 … 20 mA signal output is less
than 200 Ω, a resistor must be connected to the
connection cable during adjustment to get a loop
resistance of 250 Ω up to 350 Ω.
The digital adjustment signal would otherwise be
severely damped or short-circuited due to
insufficient resistance of the connected processing
system. Digital communication with the PC
would not be ensured.

2) 4 … 20 mA active means that the sensor delivers
a level-dependent current of 4 … 20 mA (source).
The sensor reacts electrically in the processing
system (e.g. indication) like a current source.
