5 Connecting to power supply
5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
•
Carryoutelectricalconnectionbytrained,qualiedpersonnel
authorised by the plant operator
•
If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed
Warning:
Only connect or disconnect in de-energized state.
Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire
cable.Thevoltagesupplyrangecandierdependingonthesensor
version.
Thedataforpowersupplyarespeciedinchapter"Technical data".
Note:
Power the instrument via an energy-limited circuit (power max. 100 W)
acc. to IEC 61010-1, e.g.
•
Class 2 power supply unit (acc. to UL1310)
•
SELV power supply unit (safety extra-low voltage) with suitable
internal or external limitation of the output current
Keepinmindthefollowingadditionalfactorsthatinuencetheoperat-
ing voltage:
•
Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under nomi-
nal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA resp. 22 mA in case of
fault signal)
•
Voltage loss on the VEGADIS 82 (see supply circuit in chapter
"Technical data")

The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
shielding. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above
the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, shielded cable
should be used.
We generally recommend the use of shielded cable for HART mode.

Metric threads:
In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
