Further instructions for setting up the web server and e-mail functions are stated in the online help of PACTware™ or the VEGASCAN 693 DTM as well as the operating instructions manual "RS232/Ethernet connection". 3.4 Storage and transport Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport.
The plug-in socket is provided with coded pins that can be inserted to prevent accidental interchanging of the various instrument types. With a VEGASCAN 693 in Ex version, the supplied coded pins (type coded pin and Ex coded pin) must be inserted by the user acc. to the below chart.

à Enter the values via the appropriate keys and save your settings with [OK]. Because VEGASCAN 693 can read the measured values of Measurement loop - Input up to 15 sensors (5 with Ex), the individual sensors must be assigned to the measurement loops. After the addresses of the HART sensors are assigned, a list with the existing sensors can be prepared and displayed.
