5 Connecting to power supply

VEGAMET 625 • Double channel HART

28970-EN-130701

2. Connect sensor cable to terminal 1/2 (active input) or 3/4 (passive

input), provide a screening

3. When using several sockets, loop the power supply by means of

bridges

4. Connect power supply (switched off) to terminal 17 and 18
5. If necessary, connect relays or other outputs
6. Insert VEGAMET 625 into the plug-in socket and screw it down

tightly

Note:

If the addressing of the sensors has not yet been carried out, only one

sensor must be connected. Addressing (see chapter "Setup") of the

first sensor can then be carried out. Afterwards, the first sensor must

be disconnected again and the next sensor connected and provided

with an address. Then all sensors can be connected and setup can

be started.
Before setting up Ex versions, make sure the Ex separating chamber

is plugged on the left housing side (above the sensor terminals). The

pins for type and Ex coding must also be inserted correctly.
Information:

On the active input (terminal 1/2), VEGAMET 625 provides power

for the connected sensors. Power supply and measurement data

are transmitted over the same two-wire cable. This mode is pro-

vided for connection of measuring transducers without separate

operating voltage (sensors in two-wire version).

On the passive input (terminals 3/4), the sensors are not supplied

with energy - only the measured value is transmitted. This input is

for instruments with their own separate operating voltage (sensors

in four-wire version or separators such as VEGATRENN 149). On

a VEGAMET 625 in Ex version, the passive input is not available

due to approval/technical reasons.

Note:

VEGAMET 625 is designed for connection of two HART sensors.

Because they are accessed via different addresses in the HART

multidrop mode, both sensors are connected to the same sensor

input. These are either terminals 1/2 (active input) or terminals 3/4

(passive input). Simultaneous mixed operation on active and passive

input is not possible. The measured value transmission is carried out

via the digital HART signal. An analogue 4 … 20 mA transmission is

not possible. Because this is a digital bus system, only one two-wire

cable should lead to the two sensors. A distributor can be connected

directly in front of the sensors. As an alternative, the connection to

the next sensor can be continued via the second cable entry in the

sensor housing. The addressing of the sensors should be carried out

before connection, see chapter "Set up".
