VEGACAP, VEGAPOINT: Point level detection with capacitive level switches

Function

In capacitive point level measurement, capacitive sensor and vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. Any change in capacitance due to a level change is converted into a switching signal. Thanks to shortenable cable and rod versions, the level switches can be adapted to any application and often serve as overfill protection, dry run protection, oil/water detection and foam detection.

Series

Measuring probe - with rod up to 6 m - with cable up to 32 m Full or partial insulation determines whether the sensor is used in conductive or non-conductive media

Mounting

The level switch can be installed in any position. The instrument only has to be mounted in such a way that the vibrating element is at the height of the desired switching point.

Connection

The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable.

Setup

The sensor is a compact device, i.e. it can be operated without external evaluation. It provides a switching signal on its own. A downstream device can be actuated directly with this switching signal (e.g. a warning system, a pump, etc.).
