.2 Principle of operation
VEGAFLEX
61
is a level sensor with cable or rod probe for continuous
level measurement.
I
t is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and
can be used equally well in liquids or solids.
H
igh frequency microwave pulses are guided along a steel rope or a
rod. Upon reaching the product surface, the microwave pulses are
reflected. The running time is evaluated by the instrument and
outputted as distance.
T
wo-wire electronics 4 … 20 mA/HART for power supply and
measured value transmission over the same cable.
