Area of application

The conductive point level sensors of the VEGAKON series are used in

conductive liquids as overfill protection, pump control or dry run protection in

vessels and pipelines.

Measuring principle

When the electrodes of the sensor come in contact with a conductive liquid,

a small alternating current begins to flow. The electronics responds by

triggering a switching command.

Advantages

The simple, robust mechanical construction of the sensors ensures

maintenance-free, cost-effective and reliable point level detection in all areas

of industrial instrumentation. The sensors, which can be installed in any po-

sition, provide a direct switching output. All measuring instruments offer teh

possibility of detection serveral switching points in a vessel. The VEGAKON

sensors are designed as compact level switches, while the EL probes are

designed to be used in combination with signal conditioning instruments of

the VEGATOR series.
