During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use Model VEGAWELL 52 is a pressure transmitter for level and gauge measurement. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter "Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
That is why we have introduced an environment management system with the goal of continuously improving company environmental pro- tection. The environment management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001. Please help us fulfil this obligation by observing the environmental instructions in this manual: • Chapter "Packaging, transport and storage" • Chapter "Disposal" VEGAWELL 52 • 4 … 20 mA/HART...

"VEGADIS 82" (Document-ID 45300). Measuring instrument The measuring instrument holder is used for wall/tube mounting of holder VEGABAR series 80 pressure transmitters and VEGAWELL 52 sub- mersible pressure transmitters. Supplied reducers enable the adapta- tion to different instrument diameters. The material used is 316L. You can find additional information in the operating instructions "Mounting accessory pressure" (Document-ID 43478).
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the nameplate. Transport and mounting Depending on the transmitter, the VEGAWELL 52 is supplied with a protection protective cap or a transport and mounting protection. Fig. 4: VEGAWELL 52, transport and mounting protection...
