  • Page 9: Principle Of Operation

    3 Product description 3.2 Principle of operation VEGACAP 67 is a point level sensor with capacitive probe for level Application area detection under high process temperatures. VEGACAP 67 is very rugged and maintenance-free and can be used in all areas of industrial process technology.

  • Page 10: Operation

    The capacitance change is converted by the electronics module into a switching command. VEGACAP 67 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be operated without Voltage supply external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the level signal and outputs a switching signal.
