Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGAPOINT 11 is a capacitive level sensor designed for detecting levels of water-based liquids, commonly used for overfill and dry run protection. It is suitable for use in thin pipelines.

Benefits
- Simple commissioning reduces time and cost.
- High plant availability due to being wear and maintenance-free.
- Accurate switching function regardless of process conditions.

Functionality
The sensor operates by generating an alternating electric field at the electrode tip. When covered by a medium, the sensor's capacitance changes, triggering a switching command. It can ignore certain levels of buildup, ensuring measurement accuracy.

Technical Specifications
- Output Signal: Transistor output PNP
- Process Fitting: Various thread and clamp options
- Process Pressure: -1 to 25 bar
- Process Temperature: -20 to +100 °C
- Ambient Temperature: -40 to +70 °C
- Operating Voltage: 12 to 35 V DC
- Materials: Wetted parts made of PEEK and stainless steel 316L, with FKM process seal

Housing and Electronics
The housing is available in stainless steel 316L or Valox, with protection classes up to IP69. The device features a transistor output electronic version.

Approvals
Hygienic approvals for food and pharmaceutical industries are planned. Safety instructions for approved instruments may differ.

Adjustment and Connection
No adjustments are necessary; the switching function is determined by the electrical connection. The device uses an M12 x 1 plug for electrical connections.

Dimensions
Detailed dimensions are provided for standard and hygienic versions, with various thread options.

Additional Information
Further details, including operating instructions and product information, are available on the VEGA website. Users can select suitable instruments and contact VEGA representatives through the website.

Housing versions The housing is made of stainless steel 316L or Valox and is available in protection classes IP66/IP67 and up to IP69. Electronics versions Application area The device is available in the electronic version transistor output. The VEGAPOINT 11 is a capacitive level sensor for level detection of water-based liquids. Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. The small sensor can also be used in thin pipelines. Your benefit • Low time and cost expenditure due to simple commissioning • High plant availability, because wear and maintenance free Hygienic approvals for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries are planned for the device. The technical data in the respective safety instructions are valid for approved instruments (e.g. with Ex approval). In some cases, these data can differ from the data listed herein. All approval documents can be downloaded from our homepage. • Exact switching function independent of process condition Function An alternating electric field is generated at the tip of the measuring electrode. If the sensor is covered with medium, the capacitance of the sensor changes. This change is detected by the electronics and converted into a switching command. Any buildup is ignored to a certain degree and therefore has no influence on the measurement. VEGA Grieshaber KG, Am Hohenstein 113, 77761 Schilt
