3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGATOR 141 is a single-channel controller for level detection
with 4 … 20 mA sensors. Simple monitoring and control functions can
be realised via the integrated relay. Typical applications are monitoring
functions such as overfill and dry run protection. An optional fail safe
relay is also available.
The VEGATOR 141 controller powers the connected sensors and
simultaneously processes their measuring signals. Each input is
continuously monitored for line break or short-circuit. In addition, fault
messages delivered by the sensor are processed.
The current of a connected 4 … 20 mA sensor is measured and
evaluated. The switching point of the relay can be adjusted to any in-
dividual current by using the potentiometer. The output relay switches
when this current is reached (in dependence on the set mode).
