PACTware Software StartupYou can adjust all VEGA, 2-wire HART devices using a Windows PC. To complete this adjustment, you need the configuration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver (DTM) according to the FDT standard. In addition, you can also integrate the VEGA DTMs in other frame applications according to the FDT standard. For a connection, either the interface converter VEGACONNECT or a USB is required. A basic understanding of PACTware and VEGA DTMs is required to properly configure the Remote Display Systems.Follow these steps to start the PACTware software:1. To open PACTware, complete one of the following:

Click the Windows Start, All Programs, PACTware, PACTware X.X. Double-click the PACTware 4.X shortcut on your desktop.

Set up Project Tree with VEGA Project AssistantIn the left pane of the PACTware dialog box, the HOST PC is the only item that appears and is where the project tree is built. The project tree is a series of connections between the PC and the gauge. To automatically build a project tree, make sure you are connected to a gauge that is powered up.1. From the Project menu, click VEGA project assistant.2. Select the Connect devices (Online) check box.3. Click Start to connect your sensor.

Note: PACTware adds and connects the devices automatically. When there is a # sign after the device, PACTware is finished connecting to that gauge. If the setup process with VEGA project assistant does not add and connect a device automatically, see the PACTware manual included on the CD that came with your shipment. If the CD is not available, refer to the PACTware online help. Both of these items will guide you through the steps for setting up the project tree manually.

Figure 2.6 Application

False Signal SuppressionFalse signal suppression stores the false echoes in memory from the reference plane of the sensor to the actual distance of the product surface. Struts, weld seams, agitators, man-ways, internal ladders, or anything that causes a reflection of the radar or ultrasonic pulse results in false echoes.

EchoesEchoes are signals received at the sensor that originated from the sensor after they reflected off some surface. Ideally, the sensor should only track the echo that reflects off the product surface. PACTware evaluates each echo and assigns it some probability that the echo is from the product surface. The echo with the highest echo probability is the one tracked and used for the measurement. Other echoes, not reflected from the product surface, are false echoes. PACTware dismisses or learns out any echoes outside the operating range and does not assign an echo probability.

RD Wiring for AC and DC PowerBefore beginning any wiring, make certain you use wire that meets the local electrical code.

Universal PowerThe power source voltage is 20 to 250 volts AC/DC. Do not share AC power with transient producing loads. The wiring must be in conduit. Power connections are made to the terminal strip in the power panel. The pin out for the external power terminal connections are as follows:

RD Internal Battery PowerThe battery power supply for the RD uses eight (8) 3.6 V, Lithium AA cell batteries. Depending on the environmental conditions and usage, these batteries

Name Specification UsageUniversal line power supply 20 - 230 volts AC/DC Line AC power or high voltage

should last for over two (2) years. This estimated life for these batteries is based on 30 minutes of use per day.

The RD manages the power to the loop powered sensor to maximize battery life.

RD Battery TypeThe following two (2) approved battery types have a temperature rating for the full operating temperature range of the RD.

Solar Power and External Battery PackUsing a solar pack or an external battery pack to power the MRD, requires the correct installation to the external source terminals. Complete the following steps to connect to the solar or external battery pack.1. Turn the power source selector switch to OFF.2. Connect the positive terminal of the power source to the L1 (+) terminal of

the power supply board.3. Connect the negative terminal of the power source to the N (-) terminal of the

power supply board.

Battery ReplacementDetermine if you need to replace the batteries by performing a battery voltage test. Other indications that the batteries are low include:

Dim display Flickering display Inability to power the RD

Note: Change all eight (8) batteries at the same time for optimum performance.

Manufacturer Part Number CapacityTadiran TL-2100/SBP 2.1 AhTadiran TL-5903/SBP 2.4 Ah

!NOTE

48 44054-US-131121

The batteries for the RD are located two removable trays. The battery trays are mounted on the right side of the RD. The power supply board must be removed in order to replace batteries. All eight batteries should be replaced at the same time. Make certain you follow the proper polarity during battery installation.

The VEGA device stores the configuration data for the RD. When replacing the batteries, configuration settings are still in this memory. To replace batteries (power supply and display boards), complete the following steps:1. If the RD is mounted in a hazardous location, take it to a non-hazardous

location.2. Open the RD.3. Remove the two battery trays.4. Remove the old batteries from the battery trays.5. Install the new batteries in both trays, paying close attention to battery

polarity.6. Install the battery trays back into the back plate.7. Close the door and hatch.8. Remount the unit.9. Push the Level button.10. Check the display for proper operation.

Never replace batteries in a Class 1, Div 2 area (or any hazardous area).

Dispose of the lithium batteries using approved local methods.
