VEGA VEGABAR 12 - Manual (Page 8)

3 .2 Principle of operation
VEGABAR 12 is a pressure transmitter for gauge pressure measure-
ment of neutral gases.
The sensor element is the CERTEC
®
measuring cell with rugged
ceramic diaphragm. The process pressure causes a capacitance
change in the measuring cell via the ceramic diaphragm. This change
is converted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as
measured value.
Two-wire electronics 4 … 20 mA for power supply and measured
value transmission over the same cable.
3 .3 Operation
The optional operation of the instrument is carried out via a PC with
interface adapter and VEGA adjustment software.
3 .4 Packaging, transport and storage
