Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGABAR 29 is a pressure sensor designed for high precision measurement of liquids and gases, even under high pressure conditions. It features a two-wire 4-20 mA output and a metallic measuring cell, suitable for applications requiring robustness and hygiene.

Key Benefits
  • Configurable signal output simplifies stock management.
  • 360° colored switching status display for easy monitoring.
  • Wireless setup and diagnostics via Bluetooth using smartphones.

Functionality
The sensor uses a welded metallic measuring cell to convert pressure into a standardized output signal. For pressures up to 40 bar, a piezoresistive sensor is used, while a strain gauge sensor is used for pressures from 100 bar.

Technical Specifications
  • Measuring ranges: -1 to +1000 bar (-14.5 to +14500 psig).
  • Smallest measuring range: 0.4 bar (5 psig).
  • Deviation: less than 0.3%.
  • Output signal: 4-20 mA.
  • Process temperature: -40 to +130 °C (-40 to +266 °F).
  • Operating voltage: 12-35 V DC.

Materials and Construction
The wetted parts are made of 316L stainless steel, with a Klingersil C-4400 process seal. Housing options include plug connectors and direct cable outlets, with protection ratings up to IP68/IP69.

Electronics and Adjustment
Available in two-wire and three-wire electronics, with options for I/O link and transistor outputs. Bluetooth connectivity allows for wireless adjustments via apps or PACTware software.

Dimensions
Detailed dimensions are provided for various fittings and connections, ensuring compatibility with different installation requirements.

Additional Information
Further details, including operating instructions and product information, are available on the VEGA website. The site also offers tools for instrument selection and contact information for personalized support.

Specification sheet VEGABAR 29-1

Specification sheet Two-wire 4 … 20 mA Pressure sensor with metallic measuring cell Technical data Measuring ranges -1 … +1000 bar/-100 … +100 MPa (-14.5 … +14500 psig) Smallest measuring range 0.4 bar/40 kPa (5 psig) Deviation < 0.3 % Output signal 4 … 20 mA Process fitting Thread from G½, ½ NPT, hygienic fittings Process temperature -40 … +130 °C (-40 … +266 °F) Ambient, storage and -40 … +70 °C (-40 … +140 °F) transport temperature Operating voltage 12 … 35 V DC Materials The wetted parts of the instrument such as process fitting and measuring diaphragm are made of 316L. The process seal is made of Klingersil C-4400. You will find a complete overview of the available materials and seals in the "Configurator" at www.vega.com and "VEGA Tools". Application area The pressure transmitter and switch VEGABAR 29 records the measured values of liquids and gases with high precision even under high pressures, especially when high demands are placed on robustness and hygiene. The standardized, uniform design ensures reduced installation effort. Your benefit • Simple stock keeping due to configurable signal output • Coloured 360° switching status display • Comfortable wireless setup and diagnosis via Bluetooth with smartphone Housing versions The housing is equipped with plug connector according to ISO 4400, M12 x 1 or direct cable outlet. It is available with protection ratings up to IP68 (0.5 bar)/IP69. Electronics versions In addition to the two-wire electronics 4 … 20 mA, three-wire electronics with I/O link as well as 4 … 20 mA (active) and transistor outputs are also possible. Depending on the electronics, the connection is made via ISO 4400, M12 x 1 plug or direct cable outlet. Function The heart of the pressure transmitter is the completely welded, metallic measuring cell transforming the pressure via the integrated electronics into a standardized output signal. For measuring ranges up to 40 bar, a piezoresistive sensor element with internal transmission liquid is used. From 100 bar a strain gauge sensor element on the rear of the stainless steel diaphragm is used. This dry system operates without additional isolating liquid.
