Product catalog summary
Overview of Capacitive Point Level Detection:
Capacitive point level detection involves using the sensor and vessel as electrodes of a capacitor. Changes in capacitance due to level changes are converted into switching signals. These switches are adaptable for various applications, including overfill protection, dry run protection, and oil/water or foam detection.
Advantages:
  • Installation in any position.
  • Fully insulated versions for aggressive liquids.
  • Low-cost and maintenance-free operation.
Product Specifications:
VEGAPOINT Series:
  • VEGAPOINT 11: For water-based liquids, compact version, process temperature -20°C to +100°C, pressure -1 to +25 bar, signal output via IO-Link, LED display.
  • VEGAPOINT 21/31: For liquids and bulk solids, process temperature -40°C to +115°C, pressure -1 to +64 bar, Bluetooth-enabled display.
  • VEGAPOINT 23/24: For liquids, bulk solids, and adhesive media, process temperature -40°C to +115°C, pressure -1 to +64 bar, Bluetooth-enabled display.
VEGACAP Series:
  • VEGACAP 62/63/64: For liquids and bulk solids, process temperature -50°C to +200°C, pressure -1 to +64 bar, relay and transistor outputs.
  • VEGACAP 65/66/67: For liquids, bulk solids, and high-temperature applications, process temperature -50°C to +400°C, pressure -1 to +64 bar, relay and transistor outputs.
  • VEGACAP 69/27/35/98: For various media including non-conductive vessels, process temperature -50°C to +200°C, pressure -1 to +63 bar, relay outputs.
Key Features and Benefits:
  • Rugged and resistant designs.
  • Universal use in bulk solids with wide temperature range.
  • Simple and fast installation with minimal setup time.

Product catalogue: Capacitive VEGACAP (Switching)-1

Point level l Capacitive Point level detection with capacitive level switches In capacitive point level detection, the sensor and vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. Any capacitance change caused by a level change is converted into a switching signal. Thanks to the shortenable cable and rod versions, level switches can be perfectly adapted to any application. They are often used for overfill or dry run protection as well as oil/water or foam detection.  The level switch can be installed in any position  Fully insulated versions also measure aggressive liquids  Low-cost point level detection for maintenance-free operation
