Connection to a VEGA signal conditioning
instrument
If you operate a HART ® compatible sensor on
a VEGA signal conditioning instrument, you
have to connect the sensor via a resistor
(see following table) during HART
® adjust-
ment. This resistor, together with the internal
resistance of the instruments, provides the
value of 250 Ohm required for the HART
®
instrument. An inherent system load resist-
ance allows a corresponding reduction of Rx.

Set-up
Just connect the HART ® handheld to the
signal cable, after having connected the
sensor to power supply.
Note:
If the resistance of the power supply is less
than 250 Ohm, a resistor must be connected
into the signal/connection loop during adjust-
ment.
The digital adjustment and communication
signals would otherwise be short-circuited
due to insufficient resistance of the supply
current source or the processing system,
and as a result, communication with the sen-
sor would not be ensured.

With any HART ® handheld you can set up the
VEGAPULS series 40K radar sensors like all
other HART
® compatible sensors. A special
DDD (Data Device Description) is not neces-
sary.
