3.2 Principle of operation
VEGABAR 67 is a suspension pressure transmitter for level measure-
ment in vessels. Measured products can be all media against which
the wetted materials of VEGABAR 67 are resistant.
1)
The METEC
®
measuring cell is the measuring unit. It consists of
the ceramic-capacitive CERTEC
®
measuring cell and a special,
temperature-compensated isolating system.
The hydrostatic pressure of the product or the process pressure
causes a capacitance change in the measuring cell via the metallic
process diaphragm and the isolating liquid. This change is converted
into a corresponding output signal.
The CERTEC
®
measuring cell is also equipped with a temperature
sensor. The temperature value can be displayed via the display and
adjustment module or processed via the signal output.
4 … 20 mA/HART two-wire electronics for voltage supply and meas-
ured value transmission on the same cable.
