    "serial number search". In addition to the type label outside on the instrument, the serial number is also available inside the instrument. 3.2 Principle of operation VEGACAP 27 is a level switch with fully insulated, capacitive Area of application electrode with screen segment and active tip for level detection.
  • Page 9: Operation

    The capacitance change is converted by the oscillator into a switching command. VEGACAP 27 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be operated Supply 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.

  • Page 14: Connecting To Power Supply

    Take note of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connect VEGACAP 27 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plastic vessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of the housing there is a ground terminal between the cable entries.

  • Page 16: Set Up

    Note: As a rule, always set the mode with the mode switch (5) before starting setup VEGACAP 27. The switching output will change if you set the mode switch (5) afterwards. This could possibly trigger other connected instruments or devices.
