3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGABAR 66 is a suspension pressure transmitter for level
measurement in wells, basins and atmospherically open vessels.
For use in atmospherically closed vessels under vacuum, the instru-
ment is available with absolute pressure measuring ranges.
Sensor element is the CERTEC
®
measuring cell with robust, depend-
ent on the process fitting also front-flush, abrasion-resistant ceramic
diaphragm. The process pressure causes a capacitance change in
the measuring cell via the ceramic diaphragm. This change is con-
verted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as measured
value.
The CERTEC
®
measuring cell is also equipped with a temperature
sensor. The temperature value can be displayed via the display and
adjustment module as well as processed via the signal output (with
digital versions).
As a standard feature, the CERTEC
®
measuring cell is equipped with
a lateral, recessed seal.
Instruments with double seal have an additional front seal.
