3.2 Principle of operation
VEGACAL 67 is a level sensor with partly insulated electrode for con-
tinuous level measurement under high process temperatures.
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.
Probes such as VEGACAL 67 are used in solids applications.
The range of the process temperature is -50 … 300 °C
(-58 … 572 °F). With external housing -50 … 400 °C (-58 … 752 °F).
Probe, measured product and vessel wall form an electrical capacitor.
The capacitance is influenced by three main factors.
