5 Connecting to power supply

l

Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage

In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate

regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the

sensors and power supply units.

Connect the power supply acc. to the following diagrams. Take

note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect

VEGAVIB 66 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic

vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the

instrument housing there is a ground terminal between the

cable entries. This connection serves to drain off electrostatic

charges. In Ex applications, the installation regulations for

hazardous areas must be given priority.
The data for power supply are stated in the "Technical data" in

the "Supplement".

VEGAVIB 66 is connected with standard cable with round

cross-section. An outer cable diameter of 5 … 9 mm

(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable entry.
If cable with a different diameter or wire cross section is used,

exchange the seal or use an appropriate cable connection.

In hazardous areas, only use approved cable connections for

VEGAVIB 66.

Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex

applications.

5.2 Connection steps

With Ex instruments, the housing cover may only be opened if

there is no explosive atmosphere present.

Proceed as follows:
1 Unscrew the housing cover
