Loch LevelÂ
SIL 2 has now become a requirement with loch level. The issue lies with the flood control gates for various lochs. If an obstruction sits underneath a sensor i.e. boat, canoeist it can make the PLC system think that there has been a sudden rise in the loch level. What VEGA offer are two devices that are SIL2 approved, the VEGAWELL pressure sensors and the non contact VEGAPULS 61 radar. The two inputs must see the level change before any flood gates are opened. For remote area, our new PLICSPLUS electronics only require 9.6 volts to power them so we can now use small wind turbines and link them with solar panels for the battery back up. Also, with the new GPRS electronics within our instruments you only need a data SIM card and we can transmit the signal to anywhere that has a mobile phone reception. Â

I need a radar system thar’s self contained with dry contacts for sump level motor/pump control. “What’cha got?
Hi Jerry, we do some small dedicated controllers and power supplies if that helps ?
Apologies for the delay in replying there was a problem with our web log reponse page. Is this still an issue, and which country are you from?
