Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGAPOINT 21 is a capacitive level sensor designed for detecting levels of water-based liquids. It is particularly useful for overfill and dry run protection and can be applied in thin pipelines.

Benefits
  • Simple setup via Bluetooth adjustment.
  • 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 (PNP/NPN)
  • Process Fitting: Various thread and clamp sizes available.
  • Process Pressure: -1 to 25 bar (-100 to 2500 kPa/-14.5 to 363 psig)
  • Process Temperature: -40 to +115 °C (-40 to +239 °F)
  • Ambient Temperature: -40 to +70 °C (-40 to +158 °F)
  • Operating Voltage: 12 to 35 V DC
  • Materials: Wetted parts made of PEEK and stainless steel 316L, with FKM process seal.

Housing and Electronics
  • Housing made of stainless steel 316L or Valox, available in protection classes IP66/IP67 and up to IP69.
  • Two electronics versions: transistor output (PNP/NPN) and IO-Link output.

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

Adjustment and Connection
  • Wireless adjustment via Bluetooth, compatible with smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
  • Electrical connection options include M12 x 1 plug and ISO 4400 plug.

Dimensions
Detailed dimensions are provided for various thread and plug configurations.

Additional Information
Further details, including operating instructions and product information, are available on the VEGA website. Contact information for personal assistance is also provided.

The process seal is made of FKM. You will find a complete overview of the available materials and seals in the "Configurator" at www.vega.com and "Products". Application area The VEGAPOINT 21 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. 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 • Simple setup via Bluetooth adjustment The instruments are available in two different electronics versions. Apart from the electronics with transistor output (PNP/NPN), a transistor version with IO-Link output is also available. • Exact switching function independent of process condition Hygienic approvals for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries are planned for the device. Your benefit • High plant availability, because wear and maintenance free 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.
