  • Page 8: Principle Of Operation

    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. VEGACAP 65 • - transistor (NPN/PNP)

  • Page 9: Operation

    The capacitance change is converted by the electronics module into a switching command. VEGACAP 65 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be operated without Power supply external evaluation system. The integrated electronics evaluates the level signal and outputs a switching signal.

  • Page 11: Mounting

    You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" or on the type label. In general, VEGACAP 65 must be mounted vertically. The instrument Switching point must be mounted in such a way that the probe is at the height of the requested switching point.

  • Page 12: Mounting Instructions

    For this reason, do not use an overly tion long probe for VEGACAP 65, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position. Inflowing medium If the instrument is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false...

  • Page 14 Make sure that the max. permissible tensile load of the suspension cable is not exceeded. The danger of this happening exists particularly with very heavy solids and large meas. lengths. The max. permissible load is stated in chapter "Technical data". VEGACAP 65 • - transistor (NPN/PNP)

  • Page 15: Connect To Power Supply

    Connect the operating voltage according to the following diagrams. Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGACAP 65 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the instrument housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries.
