1.1 Function
High frequency microwave impulses are
guided along a steel rope. When reaching
the product surface, the microwave impulses
are reflected. The running time of the im-
pulses is processed by the integral electron-
ics and provided as level.
The sensors measure levels of all kind of
solids. Density, conductivity and dielectric
constant of the medium do not influence the
measurement. Also varying solid characteris-
tics do not influence the measured value.
Lime, cement, cereals, plastic granules, flour,
gravel - in solids VEGAFLEX microwave
sensors are the ideal solution for arduous
applications. The level is also reliably de-
tected in products with varying humidity or
fluctuating dielectric constant. High, narrow
vessels in which non-contact measuring
principles often do not deliver optimum mea-
suring results, VEGAFLEX can be used with-
out problems.
VEGAFLEX 51 and 52 mainly differ in the
thickness of the measuring cable.
VEGAFLEX 51 has a cable with 4 mm diam-
eter and is available up to a length of 10 m.
The cable of VEGAFLEX 52 has a diameter of
8 mm and can have a length of up to 20 m.
With the thicker cable it is also suitable for
solids with higher extraction forces.
• Measuring range up to 20␣ m with small
min. distance
• Up to 15 sensors can be connected via
one two-wire cable
• Two-wire sensor, supply and digital
measuring signal via one two-wire cable
• Independent on application conditions
such as:
- dust and noise generation
- humidity changes
- varying products
- build-up
• Adjustment without vessel filling or emp-
tying
• Individual wiring, with 15 sensors on one
two-wire line (digital output signal)
• Unaffected by vessel material, e.g. metal,
concrete, plastic etc.
