5 Setup

Electronics module • VEGAFLEX 80 series

43656-EN-170531

5.2  Setup steps

After transmission of the sensor data, all application-specific settings 

must be entered again. Carry out a fresh setup after exchanging the 

electronics or load the stored data of the setup.
If you saved the parameter settings during the first setup of the sen-

sor, you can transfer them to the replacement electronics module. To 

do this, use the import function of the adjustment software PACTware 

with the device DTMs or the copy function of the display and adjust-

ment module. A fresh setup is then not necessary.
You can find information on how to copy saved parameter adjustment 

data to the new electronics module under "

Additional settings - Copy 

instrument settings

".

On SIL qualified instruments, the settings of the electronics must be 

checked and verified after the electronics exchange. Only then is the 

instrument again ready for operation.
You can find information about the test and verification in the operat-

ing instructions corresponding to your sensor as well as in the Safety 

Manual.

Information:

If a false signal suppression already existed, we recommend creating 

a new one. If this is not possible, for example, because the vessel 

is filled, the false signal suppression can be imported via the DTM. 

However, the false signal suppression should be updated or created 

anew next time the vessel is empty.
During setup, take note of the operating instructions corresponding to 

your sensor.
