3.2 Principle of operation
VEGACAP 66 is a point level sensor with fully insulated capacitive
electrode for level detection.
VEGACAP 66 is very rugged and maintenance-free and can be used
in all areas of industrial process technology.
Fully insulated probes such as VEGACAP 66 are used in solids as
well as in liquids.
Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection.
The capacitive measuring principle places no special requirements
on installation. Hence, many different applications can be equipped
with VEGACAP 66.
Problem-free use in adhesive or corrosive products.
Probe, measured product and vessel wall form an electrical capacitor.
The capacitance is influenced by three main factors.
