Product catalog summary
Overview
The VEGAPOINT 23 is a capacitive level sensor designed for detecting levels of water-based liquids. It is particularly useful for applications such as overfill and dry run protection, with a sensor length available up to 1 meter.

Key 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 capacitance changes, triggering a switching command. It effectively ignores buildup to a certain extent.

Technical Specifications
  • Output Signal: Transistor (PNP/NPN).
  • Sensor Length: 64 to 1000 mm.
  • Process Fitting: Various thread and clamp options.
  • Process Pressure: -1 to 25 bar.
  • Temperature Range: Process (-40 to +115 °C), Ambient (-40 to +70 °C).
  • Operating Voltage: 12 to 35 V DC.
  • Materials: Wetted parts made of PEEK and stainless steel 316L.

Housing and Electronics
  • Housing made of stainless steel 316L or Valox, with protection classes up to IP69.
  • Available with transistor output or IO-Link output.

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

Adjustment and Connectivity
  • Wireless adjustment via Bluetooth, compatible with smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
  • Operation through a free app or PACTware/DTM.

Electrical Connection
Details on electrical connections are available in the device's operating instructions.

Dimensions
Various dimensions are provided for different thread and plug connection options.

Additional Information
Further details, including operating instructions and product information, can be found on the VEGA website. Contact information for personal assistance is also available online.

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". 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 VEGAPOINT 23 is a capacitive level sensor for level detection of water-based liquids. Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. Due to its tube extension, the sensor is available up to a length of 1 m (39.4 in). Your benefit • Simple setup via Bluetooth adjustment • High plant availability, because wear and maintenance free • Exact switching function independent of process condition 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. Approvals 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. 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,
