Level Sensor VEGA VEGAPULS 61

VEGA VEGAPULS 61 radar level sensor provides continuous level measurement of liquids under simple process conditions, with maintenance free operation through an encapsulated antenna system. Due to the non-contact measuring principle, the level sensor can provide exact measuring results independent of the process conditions.

The VEGAPULS 61 is an economical solution with a broad range of versatile mounting arrangements to suit all requirements.

VEGA LEVEL SENSOR – VEGAPuls 61 FEATURES

Function

Extremely short microwave pulses are emitted by the antenna system in the direction of the measured product, reflected by the product surface and received back again by the antenna system.

The time from emission to reception of the signals is proportional to the level in the vessel. A special time stretching procedure allows reliable and precise measurement of the extremely short signal running times.
