: Deviation

Example
Pressure measurement in the pipeline 8 bar (800 KPa)
Ambient temperature 40 °C, product temperature 10 °C, hence within

the compensated range
VEGABAR 55 climate compensated, with measuring range 10 bar
Calculation of the set Turn Down: TD = 25 bar/8 bar, TD = 1.25

8.4 Exchanging the electronics module

In case of a defect, the electronics module can be exchanged by the

user against an identical type. If no electronics module is available on

side, the module can be ordered from the agency serving you.
Ordering and exchange are possible with or without sensor serial

number. The electronics module with serial number includes order-

specific data such as factory setting, seal material etc. These are not

included in the electronics module without serial number.
The serial number is stated on the type label of VEGABAR 55 or on

the delivery note.

8.5 Software update

The software version of VEGABAR 55 can be determined as follows:

on the type label of the electronics

Via the display and adjustment module

via PACTware
