3.2 Principle of operation
VEGACAP 69 is a point level sensor with fully insulated capacitive
double rod electrode for level detection.
VEGACAP 69 is very rugged and maintenance-free and can be used
in all areas of industrial process technology.
Fully insulated probes such as VEGACAP 69 are preferably used in
liquids and non-conductive vessels.
Due to the insulation, the probe can be mainly used in aggressive or
corrosive products.
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 69.
Probe, measured product and vessel wall form an electrical capacitor.
The capacitance is influenced by three main factors.
