Flexible electronic differential pressure
01 October 2014
Vegabar 80 includes electronic differential pressure as a standard option in all sensors in the range.

There are no special field electronics enclosures or transducers, it only requires a standard device with a ‘slave’ electronics module. Simply connect them together for your e-DP system. This means any two Vegabar 80s can be used, minimising cost, complexity and stocks.
Mix housings: A level in a pressurised tank with a ‘submersible IP68’ sensor in a flooding bund with a standard housing on the top. Mix materials: A flush ceramic diaphragm on a filter with abrasive liquid and a recessed metal one after it. Select the sensor design – suspended, submersible ‘hydrostatic’ transmitters across screen differential in intake channels. The standard interconnecting distance is 25m, but can extend to 100m+. Connection sizes extend from ½in BSP/NPT (flush) upwards.
The accreditation portfolio includes ATEX, SIL, FDA, EHEDGE, 3A and Marine. Communications: 4-20mA, HART, Profibus and Foundation Fieldbus. Nominal sensor pressure ranges from 50mbar up to 1000 Bar (same/similar ranges must be used to suit the e-D.P. application) temperature range -90 to +400 °C.
