VEGA VEGACAP 65 Capacitive Level Switch

VEGA VEGACAP 65

VEGA Level Switch

Level Switch VEGA VEGACAP 65

VEGA VEGACAP 65 capacitive level switch provides level measurement for liquids and bulk solids for use in many different industries.

VEGACAP 65 level switch features a partially insulated shortenable probe that offers high flexibility and suitability for measuring bulk solids and non-conductive liquids such as oil.

The proven mechanical construction ensures high functionality, long lifespan and minimum maintenance requirements.

The VEGACAP 65 is a point level sensor has a reliable switching point due to a large gravity weight.

Applications:

  • Lime silo
  • Conveyor transfer points
  • Coal surge bin II
  • Silo for filter dust

VEGA LEVEL SWitch – VEGACap 65 FEATURES

FunctioN

The two electrodes of the capacitor are formed from the sensor and vessel.  A capacitance change caused by a level change is evaluated by the integrated electronics and converted into a switching signal. The capacitive measuring principle doesn’t have any specific requirements with regards to installation and mounting.

Materials

The wetted parts of the instrument are made of stainless steel and the probe insulation of PTFE.

Housings

The level switch housings are available in plastic, stainless steel or aluminium. They are available with protection ratings up to IP 67.

ELECTRONICS

VEGA switches are available in different electronics versions. Apart from the versions with transistor output, contactless electronic switch and relay output, a two-wire version for connection to a signal conditioning instrument is available.

 SIGNAL OUTPUT

    • Relay (DPDT)
    • Contactless electronic switch
    • Transistor (NPN/PNP)

VEGA LEVEL SWitches – veGACAP

VEGACAP level switches provide level measurement for bulk solids and liquids as the sensor and vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. In capacitive limit level measurement any capacitance change as a result of a change in level is converted into a switching signal. The shortenable cable and rod options makes the level switches suitable for almost any application such as overfill/dry run protection and oil/water or foam detection. VEGA is a global manufacturer of process and hazardous area instrumentation.
