Mounting brackets Tube (diameter 1" to 2") Front panel mounting The VEGADIS 82 is also available with a plastic housing for panel mounting. The housing is fastened to the rear of the panel by means of the supplied screw clamps.
Output voltage of the power supply unit can be lower under nomi- nal load (with a sensor current of 20.5 mA resp. 22 mA in case of fault signal) • Voltage loss on the VEGADIS 82 (see supply circuit in chapter "Technical data") You can find information on the load resistance in chapter "Technical data", (voltage supply of the respective sensor)
If shielded cable is necessary, we recommend connecting the cable grounding shield on both ends to ground potential. In the VEGADIS 82, the shield should be connected directly to the internal ground terminal. In Ex systems it must be ensured that the grounding complies with the installation regulations.
