VEGA VEGAPULS C 11 Radar Level Sensor

Wired Radar Level Sensor

VEGAPULS C 11

VEGAPULS C 11 is a radar level sensor manufactured by VEGA that provides non-contact level measurement of liquids and bulk solids in simple applications where a high degree of protection is required. It is particularly suitable for use in water treatment, pumping stations, rain overflow basins and level monitoring.

The VEGAPULS C 11 is a maintenance-free operation due to non-contact 80 GHz radar technology and is able to give exact measurement results independent of medium properties, process and environmental conditions.

A low cost sensor with an axial cable outlet, 4 … 20 mA/HART output, measuring range of up to 8m and a plastic housing (IP66/IP67) making the radar sensor suitable for simple measuring tasks.

Applications

Level measurement in a container

VEGAPULS C 11 provides continuous level measurement with radar in the below container. After coarse/fine screening, sorted solids such as waste, plastics, sand and sludge are transported to special containers via conveyor belt. Reliable level measurement enables automatic notification to change over these containers.

Level control in a pumping station

VEGAPULS C 11 non-contact level measurement with radar in the inlet shaft. Wastewater from households and businesses, together with surface water, is carried to the wastewater treatment plant via an extensive sewer network. If the natural gradient is not steep enough, numerous pumping stations are required to create a sufficient height difference. The level measurement in the inlet shaft is used for cost-effective control of the pumps.
