During work on and with the device the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use VEGATOR 132 is a universal signal conditioning instrument for con- nection of conductive sensors. 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.

4 Mounting Mounting Mounting instructions VEGATOR 132 is designed for carrier rail mounting (top hat rail 35 x 7.5 according to DIN EN 50022/60715). Due to its protection rating of IP 20, the instrument is suitable for mounting in switching cabinets. It can be mounted horizontally and vertically.
Detailed information about the power supply can be found in chapter "Technical data". Connection cable The voltage supply of VEGATOR 132 is connected with standard cable according to the national installation standards. The sensors are connected with standard two-wire cable without screen.

2 are then in safe state. For Ex applications, the 220 kΩ resistor must be approved together with the sensor. For this purpose, we offer an approved resistor spe- cially adapted to VEGA instruments. You can find further information in the documentation of the respective sensor. Fig. 5: Ex resistor for line monitoring with sensors of the EL series Note: Line monitoring may only be activated if a 220 kΩ resistor is con- nected between the two electrodes. VEGATOR 132 •...
By changing the mode, the function of the relays can be inverted. If several instruments are to be connected to the same electrodes, Master/Slave switchover then all VEGATOR 132 must be connected together via terminal 3. One instrument must be configured as Master, all others as Slave. Through synchronization of the measurement voltages, faulty switch- ing due to crossover of measuring currents is avoided.
