3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGAFLEX 82 is a level sensor with cable or rod probe for con-
tinuous level measurement, suitable for applications in bulk solids.
Due to the qualification up to SIL2 or homogeneous redundant up to
SIL3 (IEC 61508) the VEGAFLEX 82 is suitable for the use in safety-
instrumented systems (SIS).
The safety function (SIF) can be a monitoring of the max. or min. level
or a combination of both.
High frequency microwave pulses are guided along a steel cable or
a rod. Upon reaching the product surface, the microwave pulses are
reflected. The running time is evaluated by the instrument and output-
ted as level.
Probe end tracking
To increase sensitivity, the probe is equipped with probe end tracking.
In products with a low dielectric constant, this function is very helpful.
This is the case, for example, in plastic granules, packing chips or in
vessels with fluidized products.
