Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGABAR 38 is a pressure sensor designed for precise measurement of liquids and gases, particularly in environments requiring robustness and hygiene. It features a two-wire 4-20 mA output and a ceramic measuring cell.

Key Benefits
  • Configurable signal output simplifies inventory management.
  • Large on-site display with VDMA operation for easy setup.
  • Wireless setup and diagnostics via Bluetooth using smartphones.

Functionality
The sensor converts pressure into an electrical signal using a ceramic CERTEC® measuring cell, known for its long-term stability and overload resistance.

Technical Specifications
  • Measuring ranges: -1 to +60 bar (-14.5 to +870 psig).
  • Smallest measuring range: +0.1 bar (+1.45 psig).
  • Deviation: < 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 Housing
  • Wetted parts made from 316L, PVDF, Duplex steel, or sapphire-ceramic®.
  • Housing available in stainless steel 316L or plastic PBT, with protection up to IP66/IP67.

Electronics and Approvals
  • Available in two-wire and three-wire electronics with I/O link.
  • Approved for hazardous areas (ATEX, IEC) and various ship approvals (GL, LRS, ABS).

Adjustment and Connectivity
  • Bluetooth-enabled for wireless adjustment via smartphones or PCs.
  • Free app available for adjustment from Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Baidu Store.

Specification sheet Two-wire 4 … 20 mA Pressure sensor with ceramic measuring cell Technical data Measuring ranges -1 … +60 bar/-100 … +6000 kPa (-14.5 … +870 psig) Smallest measuring range +0.1 bar/+10 kPa (+1.45 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 are made of 316L, PVDF, Duplex steel or sapphire-ceramic®. The process seal is available in FKM, EPDM as well as FFKM. You will find a complete overview of the available materials and seals in the "Configurator" at www.vega.com and "Products". Application area The pressure transmitter and switch VEGABAR 38 detects the measured values of liquids and gases with high precision, especially when high demands are placed on robustness and hygiene. Your benefit • Simple stock keeping due to configurable signal output • Easy setup due to large on-site display with VDMA operation and additional texts • Comfortable wireless setup and diagnosis via Bluetooth with smartphone Function The heart of the pressure transmitter is the pressure measuring cell transforming the pressure into an electrical signal. This pressuredependent signal is convereted by the integrated electronics into a standardized output signal. Sensor element with VEGABAR 38 is the ceramic CERTEC® measuring cell with excellent long-term stability and high overload resistance. VEGA Grieshaber KG, Am Hohenstein 113, 77761 Schiltach/Germany, www.vega.com Housing versions The housing is made of stainless steel 316L or plastic PBT and is available in protection classes up to IP66/IP67. 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 and transistor outputs are also possible. Depending on the electronics, connection is made via plug acc. to ISO 4400 or M12 x 1. Approvals The instruments are suitable for use in hazardous areas and are approved e.g. according to ATEX and IEC. The instruments also have various ship approvals such as e.g. GL, LRS or ABS.
