Page 9: Mounting
Mounting General instructions Mounting options VEGATOR 141 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 IP20, the instrument is suitable for mounting in switching cabinets. It can be mounted horizontally and vertically. -
Page 10: Connecting To Power Supply
Voltage supply The data for power supply are specified in chapter " Technical data". Connection cable The voltage supply of VEGATOR 141 is connected with standard cable according to the national installation standards. The sensors are connected with standard two-wire cable without shielding. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above the test values of EN 61326 for industrial areas, shielded cable should be used. -
Page 11: Connection Procedure
It is thus possible to control multiple controllers with one sensor to detect different limit levels. Note: With a VEGATOR 141 in Ex version, the passive input is not available for reasons of approval. Connection procedure The pluggable terminals can be removed as needed to allow more convenient connection. -

Do you have a question about the VEGATOR 141 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
i need an example of a circuit how its used
An example of a circuit using the Vega VEGATOR 141 is a mixed operation active/passive wiring setup. In this configuration, one sensor can control multiple controllers and detect different limit levels. However, this wiring is not possible for Ex applications, as the passive input is not available for Ex devices. The wiring plan includes sensor circuits (4–20 mA) with active and passive inputs, relay outputs, an optional fail-safe relay, and a voltage supply connection.
