Mounting instructions 2 Mounting instructions 2.1 Conductive electrodes General When mounting the electrodes it should be noted that the rod or cable electrodes do not touch the vessel wall. Lateral load Note that the electrode is not subjected to strong lateral forces. Mount the electrode on a position in the vessel where no interferences such as e.g. by stirrers, vessel openings etc. occur. This is mainly valid for very long rod and cable electrodes.
Mounting instructions Probe with 4 rod or cable electrodes 2 3 1 4 2 2.3 VEGATOR 532 Ex VEGATOR 532 Ex can be either mounted in a single housing type 505 Ex or into a carrier BGT 596 or BGT 596 Ex by means of a module. Probe with 5 rod or cable electrodes 3 4 1 5 2.2 VEGATOR 256C The signal conditioning instrument VEGATOR 256C can be either mounted directly to the wall via two screws or plugged to a carrier rail 35 x 7,5 acc. to DIN EN 50 022.

Set-up Selection of mode A/B A slide switch (16 and 17) per channel is located on the circuit board of the signal conditioning instrument. Position A corresponds to overfill protection, position B to dry run protection. Failure adjustment (soldering bridges) For monitoring of the electrodes and their circuits, a resistor of 220 kOhm must be mounted between connection 1 and connection 2 in the connection housing of the electrode, i.e.

Diagnosis 5 Diagnosis 5.1 Fault signal on VEGATOR 532 Ex BR1 BR2 Soldering bridge for failure adjustment of channel 1 The connection line from the mass and max. electrode to the signal conditioning instrument is generally monitored on line break with Ex-measuring systems and overfill protections. If both channels are used for two separate measurements (no double point control) the electrodes are monitored, e.g. mass and max. electrode of channel 1 to connection point d30 and d32, mass and min.
Diagnosis 5.2 Fault signal on VEGATOR 631 Ex Note In this case the monitoring of the mass and max. electrodes and the connection lines are inactive.
