4 Mounting4.1 General instructionsEach series 600 instrument consists of the actual signal conditioninginstrument as well as a plug-in socket for carrier rail mounting.Because it has protection class IP 30 or IP 20, the instrument isintended to be used in switching cabinets.4.2 Mounting instructionsThe plug-in socket is designed for carrier rail mounting according toEN 50022. The operating voltage is connected to terminals 17 and 18.For neighbouring series 600 instruments it is possible to continueconnection L1 and N directly via the supplied bridges. Max. fiveinstruments can be connected through in this way.Danger:Looping through via bridges is only allowed for operating voltage(sockets L1 and N). The bridges must never be used with singleinstruments, at the end of a row of instruments or with other sockets. Ifthis rule is not heeded, there is a danger of coming into contact withthe operating voltage or causing a short circuit.A VEGAMET 624 in Ex version is an auxiliary, intrinsically safeinstrument and may not be installed in explosion-endangered areas.Before setup, the Ex separating chamber must be attached (as shownbelow) with Ex versions. Safe operation can be only ensured if theoperating instructions manual and the EG type approval certificate areobserved. VEGAMET 624 must not be opened.All signal conditioning instruments are provided with different gapsdependent on type and version (mechanical coding).The plug-in socket is provided with coded pins that can be inserted toprevent accidental interchanging of the various instrument types.With a VEGAMET 624 in Ex version, the supplied coded pins (typecoded pin and Ex coded pin) must be inserted by the user according tothe below chart.Installation possibilitiesMountingInstrument coding10 VEGAMET 624 • 4 … 20 mA/HART signal conditioning instrument4 Mounting28969-EN-091116
