7 Setup with smartphone/tablet (Bluetooth)

VEGAPULS C 11 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA

58340-EN-200806

7  Setup with smartphone/tablet (Bluetooth)

7.1 Preparations

Make sure that your smartphone/tablet meets the following system 

requirements:

• 

Operating system: iOS 8 or newer

• 

Operating system: Android 5.1 or newer

• 

Bluetooth 4.0 LE or newer

Download the VEGA Tools app from the " 

Apple App Store

", " 

Goog-

le Play Store

" or " 

Baidu Store

" to your smartphone or tablet. 

Make sure that the VEGAPULS C 11 is activated, see chapter " 

Oper-

ating modus, activate device

". 

7.2 Connecting

Start the adjustment app and select the function " 

Setup

". The smart-

phone/tablet searches automatically for Bluetooth-capable instru-

ments in the area. 
The message " 

Connecting …

" is displayed. 

The devices found are listed and the search is automatically contin-

ued.
Select the requested instrument in the device list.

When establishing the connection for the first time, the operating tool 

and the sensor must authenticate each other. After the first correct 

authentication, each subsequent connection is made without a new 

authentication query.

For authentication, enter the 6-digit Bluetooth access code in the 

next menu window. You can find the code on the outside of the device 

housing and on the information sheet " 

Pins and Codes

" in the device 

packaging. 

Fig. 18: Enter Bluetooth access code

Note:

If an incorrect code is entered, the code can only be entered again 

after a delay time. This time gets longer after each incorrect entry.
The message " 

Waiting for authentication

" is displayed on the smart-

phone/tablet.
