VEGA VEGACAP 69 Capacitive Level Switch

VEGA Level Switch

Level Switch VEGA VEGACAP 69

VEGA VEGACAP 69 capacitive level switch provides level measurement for liquids in non-conductive vessels

VEGACAP 69 level switch features a low mounting expenditure thanks to the double rod version and the ground rod makes use in conductive vessels simple.

The proven mechanical construction design ensures a long service life and minimum maintenance requirements as a result of high resistance materials.

VEGA LEVEL SWitch – VEGACap 69 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)
• Two-wire

APPROVALS

• ATEX
• GOST

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.
