Level Sensor VEGA VEGASON 61

VEGA VEGASON 61 ultrasonic level sensor provides continuous level measurement of liquids or bulk solids.

VEGASON 61 level sensor is a favoured solution for simple applications such as measuring liquids in storage tanks or open basins and detecting bulk solids in small vessels or open containers.

The level sensor offers maintenance free operation thanks to using a non-contact measuring principle.

Applications include:

  • Conditioning
  • Dam of hydroelectric power plant
  • Service tanks with grey and black water

VEGA LEVEL SENSOR – VEGASON 61 FEATURES

FunctioN

Short ultrasonic pulses (18kHz to 70 kHz) are emitted by the traducer in the same direction as the product so the pulses are reflected from the product surface and then received back by the tranducer.

Materials

The wetted parts of the instrument are made of PVDF. The process seal is made of EPDM.

Housings

The level sensor housings are available as double chamber version in plastic, stainless steel or aluminium with protection ratings up to IP66/IP67.

ELECTRONICS

VEGA sensors are available in different electronics versions. Apart from the two-wire electronics with 4 … 20 mA/HART, there are two pure digital versions with Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus possible as well as one version for connection to a signal conditioning instrument.

VEGA LEVEL SENSORS – veGASON

VEGASON level sensors provide non contact level measurement for bulk solids and liquids mainly designed for simple applications. In ultrasonic level measurement, ultrasonic pulses are directed towards the medium and reflected back. The elapsed time from emission to reception of the signals is proportional to the level in the tank. VEGA is a global manufacturer of process and hazardous area instrumentation.

Thorne & Derrick provide Process Measurement and Instrumentation systems for level measurement, flow measurement, temperature measurement and pressure measurement.
