Remote Display System
1.1 Overview
This document describes the basic configuration of the VEGA devices connected
to the Remote Display System. The configurations described are necessary for
the accuracy and proper operation of the Remote Display System level
monitoring, system alarms, and displays.
1.2 System Operation

The VEGA level measurement device, in combination with the RD, provide the
level information to the Remote Display. Each RD can handle one (1) VEGA, 2wire HART device. The Remote Display interface can display level, percent (%),
scaled value, and distance. The following requirements are necessary for the
proper operation:
You must attach devices to the RD with the field devices set for HART
Multidrop mode.
Each device connected to the RD must have a HART address in the

range of 1.
Note: Do not use the device in the standard 4 ... 20 mA mode.
Using the device in this mode drains the batteries.
NOTE
The RD communicates with the VEGA PLICSCOM using I2C

communication.
1.3 System Features

The RD system has the following features:
Power options via battery.
Numeric visualization: Scaled measured values display on the backlit

LCD screen.
Connect to any VEGA two-wire HART multidrop device.
44054-US-131121
On-demand level, using the local push button.
Energy Saving automatic off feature: Turns display off after a preset
period of time. Saves on battery life.
Remote programming and configuration via PLICSCOM.
Constructed of robust materials: NEMA 4X enclosure with locking

stainless steel latches.
Battery life: 2.5 years based on 30 minutes of daily operating time.
PACTwareTM
PACTware (Process Automation Configuration Tool) is a protocol-independent
software for the adjustment of all types of field instruments. This software is
VEGAs preferred tool for setting up and adjusting the detector.
Connection of the PC with VEGACONNECT

Use the interface converter VEGACONNECT for a temporary connection of the
PC. For example, use the interface converter for a parameter adjustment. The
necessary IC interface at the radar is available with all instrument versions. On
the computer, the connection is made using a USB cable.
Connect to the radar using the VEGACONNECT 4 and a Windows-based
computer running PACTware, supported with the VEGA DTM collection.
Set up the Connection with VEGACONNECT
The device provides options for establishing a connection to the PC running

PACTware. Refer to the VEGACONNECT connection drawing below to establish

PACTware Software Startup

You 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 Assistant

In 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
10
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.

Application
False Signal Suppression

False 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.
Echoes
Echoes 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 Power

Before beginning any wiring, make certain you use wire that meets the local
electrical code.
Universal Power
The 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:
Pin (Polarity Sensitive)
Description
DC/AC Power L (+)
DC/AC Poser N (-)
Note: The power terminals are polarity sensitive.
NOTE
RD Internal Battery Power
The 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
46
44054-US-131121
should last for over two (2) years. This estimated life for these batteries is based
on 30 minutes of use per day.
Note: Change all eight (8) batteries at the same time for optimum
performance.
NOTE
The RD manages the power to the loop powered sensor to maximize battery life.
RD Battery Type
The following two (2) approved battery types have a temperature rating for the full
operating temperature range of the RD.
Manufacturer
Part Number
Capacity
Tadiran
TL-2100/SBP
2.1 Ah
Tadiran
TL-5903/SBP
2.4 Ah
Solar Power and External Battery Pack
Using 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 Replacement
Determine 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
44054-US-131121
47
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.
WARNING
Never replace batteries in a Class 1, Div 2 area (or any

hazardous area).
Dispose of the lithium batteries using approved local

methods.
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.
