    3.2 principle of operation vegacap 65 is a level sensor with capacitive electrode for level detection. Vegacap 65 is very rugged and maintenance-free and can be used in all areas of industrial process technology. Probes such as vegacap 65 can be used in solids and in non-conductive liquids. Typical ...

    Vegacap 65 is a compact instrument, i.E. It can be operated without external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the level signal and outputs a switching signal. With this switching signal, a connected device can be operated directly (e.G. A warning system, a plc, a pump etc.). T...

    4 mounting 4.1 general instructions in general, vegacap 65 can be mounted in any position. The instrument must be mounted in such a way that the probe is at the height of the requested switching point. With screwed versions, the housing must not be used for screwing in! Tightening can cause damages ...

    4.2 mounting information agitators, equipment vibration, etc., can cause the level switch to be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long probe for vegacap 65, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position. If ve...

    In silos with bulk solids, material cones can form which change the switching point. Please keep this in mind when installing the sensor in the vessel. We recommend selecting an installation location where the probe detects the average value of the material cone. The measuring probe must be mounted ...
