VEGAFLEX 82 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire

47593-EN-140324

also choose between measurement in a vessel or in a bypass or 

standpipe.

Medium - dielectric constant

In this menu item, you can define the type of medium (product).

Max. adjustment

In this menu item, you can enter the max. adjustment for the level.
Enter the appropriate distance value in m (corresponding to the 

percentage value) for the full vessel. The distance refers to the sensor 

reference plane (seal surface of the process fitting). Keep in mind that 

the max. level must lie below the dead band.

Min. adjustment

In this menu item, you can enter the min. adjustment for the level.
Enter the suitable distance value in m for the empty vessel (e.g. 

distance from the flange to the probe end) corresponding to the per-

centage value. The distance refers tot he sensor reference plane (seal 

surface of the process fitting).

Linearization

A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume 

does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. a horizontal cylindri-

cal or spherical tank, when the indication or output of the volume is 

required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed 

for these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level 

percentage and vessel volume.
The linearization applies for the measured value indication and the 

current output. By activating the suitable curve, the percentage vessel 

volume is displayed correctly.
