  • Page 9: Principle Of Operation

    Housing with electronics Process fitting Ceramic insulator 3.2 Principle of operation VEGACAL 67 is a level sensor with partly insulated electrode Area of application for continuous level measurement under high process tem- peratures. The electronics functions acc. to the admittance principle (phase-selective admittance processing).
  • Page 10 Product description Probes such as VEGACAL 67 are used in solids applications. The range of the process temperature is -50 … 300°C (-58 … 572°F). With remote housing -50 … 400°C (-58 … 752°F). The probe, the measured product and the vessel wall form an Physical principle electrical capacitor.

  • Page 12: Mounting

    Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGACAL 67 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down- ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.
