Principle of operation

VEGAPULS Air 23 is a radar sensor for continuous level measure-
ment of plastic vessels, e.g. IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Container).
The device is suitable for almost all liquids.
Depending on the version, it is mounted to the vessel or to the ceiling
by means of:
•
Glue surface on the bottom side of the sensor (vessel mounting)
•
Tension belt (vessel mounting)
•
Mounting brackets on the housing (ceiling mounting)
•
Magnets on the housing (ceiling mounting)
The measurement is made through the closed plastic ceiling of the
vessel.
The sensor emits a radar signal through the antenna. The emitted
signal is reflected by the medium and received as an echo by the
antenna.
The resulting level is converted into a respective output signal and
wirelessly transmitted.
