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.
