Principles of Good Measurement – Conductance Level Switches & Probes

VEGAKON: Conductance Level Switches

Measuring principle and applications

The instruments work according to the conductive measuring principle and are used in conductive liquids. The probe detects the product resistance when being immersed. A low alternating current flows which is detected by the integrated electronics and converted into a respective switching signal. The switching signal is determined via the mounting position or the length of the respective probe. The easy and robust construction of the sensors offers a maintenance free and reliable level detection in all areas of industrial measurement technique. Typical applications are e.g. overfill protection, pump control or dry run protection.

 

Conductance level probes EL: Flexible determination of the switching point

Measuring principle and application

The instruments are used for level detection in conductive liquids. When the electrode is immersed, the product resistance is evaluated through the connected VEGATOR signal conditioning instrument. A low alternating current flows which is detected by VEGATOR and converted into a respective switching signal. The switching signal is determined via the mounting position or the length of the respective probe. The easy and robust construction of the sensors offers a maintenance free and reliable level detection in all areas of industrial measurement technique. Typical applications are e.g. overfill protection, pump control or dry run protection.
