VEGACAP 64

Relay (DPDT)

Capacitive rod electrode for level detection

Application area

The VEGACAP 64 point level sensor for non-abrasive liquids and bulk solids. The rod electrode is fully insulated and due to its construction it is suitable for viscous and adhesive products.

Your benefit

• Reduced number of cleaning cycles through measurement insensitive to buildup

• Reliable measurement with strong buildup through optimized design

• Long lifetime and low maintenance requirement through robust construction

Function

Sensor and vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. A capacitance change caused by a level change is evaluated by the integrated electronics and converted into a switching signal. The capacitive measuring principle has no special requirements in respect to installation and mounting.
