4 Mounting
4.1 General instructions
Select an installation position you can easily reach for
mounting and connecting as well as later retrofitting of an
indicating and adjustment module. The housing can be rotated
by 330° without the use of any tools. You can also install the
indicating and adjustment module in four different positions
(each displaced by 90°).
Mount the instrument at a place where there are as few
obstacles as possible between the emitter and receiver. Direct
intervisibility is the optimal precondition for the radio link. To
bypass possible obstacles, a remote antenna with a 3 m cable
is optionally available for standard versions.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to
power supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against
moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down-
ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water
can thus drain off. This applies mainly to mounting outdoors, in
areas where moisture is expected (e.g. by cleaning processes)
or on cooled or heated vessels.

5 Connecting to power supply
5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
l If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters
should be installed
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the
sensors and power supply units.
Two power supply unit versions are available. You can find
detailed information on the power supply in chapter "Technical
data" in the "Supplement".
Power supply of PLICSRADIO T61 is connected with standard
cable according to the national installation standards.
Standard two-wire cable with screening can be used for
connecting the sensors. The screening is absolutely neces-
sary to ensure interference-free operation with HART sensors.
Connect the cable screen on both ends to ground potential. In
the sensor, the screen must be connected directly to the
internal ground terminal. The ground terminal on the outside of
the sensor housing must be connected to the potential
equalisation (low impedance).
If potential equalisation currents are expected, the screen
connection on the side of PLICSRADIO T61 must be made via
a ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency
potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the
protective effect against high frequency interference signals
remains.
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for Ex
applications. In particular, make sure that no potential equal-
isation currents flow over the cable screen. In case of
grounding on both sides this can be achieved by the use of a
capacitor or a separate potential equalisation.

Information:
Two-wire or four-wire instruments can be connected. In the
menu you can switch over between active (standard setting)
and passive operation of the measuring data input. The
connection assignment is the same for both modes.
l In active mode, PLICSRADIO T61 provides the voltage
supply for the connected sensors. This mode is for
connection of pressure transmitters without separate
supply voltage (sensors in two-wire version).
l In the passive mode, the sensors are not powered - only
the measured value is transmitted. This input is for sensors
with their own, separate power supply (sensors in four-wire
version).On a PLICSRADIO T61 in Ex version, the passive
input is not available for approval-technical reasons.

7 Setup with PACTware™
7.1 Connecting the PC
As an alternative to the setup via indicating and adjustment
module, the parameter adjustment is also possible via PC. For
connection you require the VEGACONNECT 4 interface
converter. This converter can be inserted into PLICSRADIO
T61 instead of the indicating and adjustment module. The
connection to the PC is carried out via the USB interface. The
parameter adjustment of a connectedVEGA HART sensor can
be also carried out via this connection. Further information is
specified in the operating instructions manual of "VEGA-
CONNECT 4".
Note:
Connection of VEGACONNECT or a HART modem directly to
the 4 … 20 mA sensor cable is not possible.

7.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware™
To adjust PLICSRADIO T61 via a Windows-PC, the config-
uration software PACTware™ and a suitable instrument driver
(DTM) according to FDT standard are necessary. The VEGA
DTMs can be also integrated in other frame applications
according to FDT standard.
All currently available VEGA DTMs are provided under the
name "DTM Collection" with the current PACTware™ version
on CD. They are available from the responsible VEGA agency
for a token fee. The basic version of this DTM Collection incl.
PACTware™ is available as a free-of charge download from
our homepage www.vega.com.
The professional version also includes saving and printing of
project documentation. A DTM licence for the appropriate
instrument family can be purchased from the responsible
VEGA agency.
Note:
To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you
should always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not
all described functions are included in older firmware versions.
The latest instrument software can be downloaded from our
homepage. The transmission of the instrument software is
carried out via PACTware™. A description of the update
procedure is also available in the Internet.
Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions
manual "DTM Collection/PACTware™" attached to each CD
and which can also be downloaded from our homepage. A
detailed description is available in the online help of
PACTware™ and the VEGA DTMs.

8 Maintenance and fault rectification
8.1 Maintenance
When used as directed in normal operation, PLICSRADIO T61is completely maintenance free.
8.2 Fault clearance
The operator of the system is responsible for taken suitable
measures to remove interferences.
PLICSRADIO T61 offers maximum reliability. Nevertheless
faults can occur during operation. These may be caused by the
following, e.g.:
l Measured value from sensor not correct
l Voltage supply
l Interference on the cables
The first measures to be taken are to check the input and
output signals as well as to evaluate the error messages via
the display. The procedure is described below. Further
comprehensive diagnostics can be carried out on a PC with
the PACTware™ and the suitable DTM. In many cases, the
causes can be determined in this way and faults can be
rectified.
However, if these measures are not successful, call the VEGA
service hotline in urgent cases under the phone no. +49 1805
858550.
The hotline is available to you 7 days a week round-the-clock.
Since we offer this service world-wide, the support is only
available in the English language. The service is free of
charge, only the standard telephone costs will be charged.
