Product Introduction
The VEGA VEGADIS 82 is an external display and adjustment unit for compatible 4–20 mA and HART sensors. Installed directly in the signal line, it provides local access to measured values and supports parameter adjustment for compatible HART devices. It is particularly suitable for installations where the sensor is difficult to reach or where operators need a separate display at ground level or in a control area.
Key Features
- 4–20 mA/HART compatibility for displaying measured values and adjusting compatible sensors.
- Flexible installation at a suitable point along the signal cable.
- Optional Bluetooth functionality for wireless operation using compatible mobile devices or PCs.
- Clear text display and graphical support through the optional PLICSCOM display and adjustment module.
- Multiple housing materials, including plastic, aluminium, and stainless steel.
- IP66/IP67 protection for suitable industrial environments.
- Optional hazardous-area and marine approvals, depending on the configuration.
Applications
- Remote display of level and pressure measurements
- Local indication for radar level sensors
- Display and adjustment of compatible hydrostatic pressure transmitters
- Industrial tank and vessel monitoring
- Water and wastewater treatment installations
- Sensor installations in difficult-to-access locations
- Process measurement systems using 4–20 mA/HART signals
Technical Highlights and Selection Considerations
The VEGADIS 82 supports 4–20 mA and 4–20 mA/HART signal loops, depending on the selected version. Its published ambient operating temperature range is -20 to +70 °C. The display and adjustment module is optional, and Bluetooth functionality is available only with compatible configurations.
When selecting a unit, verify the sensor's output, whether HART parameter adjustment is required, the display module configuration, housing material, mounting arrangement, and necessary approvals. A standard 4–20 mA display-only version does not provide the same HART parameter-adjustment functionality as a compatible HART version.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the VEGA VEGADIS 82 used for?
It provides external indication of measured values and supports parameter adjustment for compatible 4–20 mA/HART sensors.
2. Can the VEGADIS 82 adjust sensor parameters?
Yes, when used with a compatible HART sensor and the appropriate configuration. A 4–20 mA-only version is intended for indication rather than HART parameter adjustment.
3. Does it support Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is available as an option with a compatible display and adjustment module, allowing wireless operation from a smartphone, tablet, or PC.
4. Which sensors can be used with the VEGADIS 82?
It is designed for 4–20 mA/HART sensors and is particularly suited to selected VEGA instruments, including VEGAPULS (C) 11, 21, 22, 23, and 31, as well as VEGAWELL 52. Always confirm compatibility with the specific sensor.
5. What housing materials are available?
Available housing options include plastic, aluminium, and stainless steel, depending on the selected version.
6. Is the VEGADIS 82 suitable for outdoor or hazardous-area installations?
Its IP66/IP67 protection supports many industrial outdoor installations. Hazardous-area approvals are available for selected configurations; confirm the required certification and installation conditions before ordering.
