3.2 Principle of operation
VEGABAR 66 4 … 20 mA/HART - climate compensated is a suspen-
sion pressure transmitter for level measurement in wells, basins and
atmospherically open vessels under difficult conditions (cold medium
and warm humid environment).
The sensor element is an encapsulated CERTEC ® absolute pressure
measuring cell with robust, front-flush (depending on the process
fitting), abrasion resistant ceramic diaphragm. The process pressure
causes a capacitance change in the measuring cell via the ceramic
diaphragm. This capacitance change is converted into an electrical
signal, compared with an integrated reference pressure measurement
and outputted as measured value via the 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.
As a standard feature, the CERTEC ® measuring cell is equipped with
a lateral, recessed seal.
Instruments with double seal have an additional front seal.
