  • Page 8: Principle Of Operation

    The capacitance change is converted by the electronics module into a switching command. Voltage supply VEGACAP 27 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.

    (e.g. through cleaning processes) or on cooled or heated vessels. Fig. 3: Measures against moisture ingress VEGACAP 27 • Relay (DPDT)

  • Page 11: Mounting Instructions

    Agitators and fluidization Due to the effects of agitators, equipment vibration or similar, the level switch can be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do not use an overly long electrode for VEGACAP 27, but check if you can mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel in horizontal position. Extreme vibration caused by the system, e.g. due to agitators or turbulence in the vessel from fluidisation, can cause the probe of VEGACAP 27 to vibrate in resonance.

    Wiring plan, single chamber housing Wiring plan We recommend connecting VEGACAP 27 in such a way that the switching circuit is open when there is a level signal, line break or failure (safe state).

  • Page 15: Setup

    Note: As a rule, always set the mode with the mode switch (5) before start- ing setup VEGACAP 27. The switching output will change if you set the mode switch (5) afterwards. This could possibly trigger other con- nected instruments or devices.
  • Page 16 The measuring system is immediately ready for operation. ment The switching point must no longer be set with VEGACAP 27. The probe has an active tip and a screen segment. Thanks to the screen segment, the so called standing capacitance, caused by the vessel after installation of the probe, is mainly compensated.

Contact 4 against vessel The electrical connection between contact 4 and metal vessel (not the mounting boss or probe flange) should good. Measure the resist- ance value between contact 4 and vessel with an ohmmeter (range very small). • Shortcircuit (0 … 3 Ω) - optimum connection • Resistor > 3 Ω - bad connection VEGACAP 27 • Relay (DPDT)
