During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The VEGABOX 03 is used as breather and terminal housing for sensors with direct cable outlet, such as for example submersible pressure transmitters.
Installations in the US shall comply with the relevant requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC - NFPA 70) (USA). Installations in Canada shall comply with the relevant requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC Part I) (Canada). VEGABOX 03 •...
The VEGABOX 03 is available with different housing materials, see chapter "Technical data". 3.2 Principle of operation Application area The VEGABOX 03 is used as breather and terminal housing for sub- mersible pressure transmitters such as for example the VEGAWELL 52. For this purpose the housing contains a filter element for ventila- tion. The VEGABOX 03 is also used as terminal housing for sensors with direct cable outlet such as for example the VEGAPULS WL 61 radar sensor.
