Principle of operation

The VEGAFLEX 82 is a level sensor with cable or rod probe for con-
tinuous level measurement, suitable for applications in bulk solids.
High frequency microwave pulses are guided along a steel cable or
a rod. Upon reaching the product surface, the microwave pulses are
reflected. The running time is evaluated by the instrument and output
as level.
