3.2 Principle of operation
VEGACAL 62 is a level sensor with partly insulated probe for continu-
ous level measurement.
The electronics functions according to the admittance principle
(phase-selective admittance processing).
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and
can be applied in all areas of industrial process measurement.
Partly insulated probes such as VEGACAL 62 are preferably used in
bulk solids.
However, the probe can also be used in non-conductive liquids such
as e.g. oil.
Probe, measured product and vessel wall form an electrical capacitor.
The capacitance is influenced by three main factors.
