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.
