Characteristic
Extensive selection of electronics, housings, approvals. Process fittings: G1½ or 1½ NPT
Application
The VEGASON 61 is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids or bulk solids. Typical applications are the measurement of liquids in storage tanks or open basins. The sensor is also suitable for the detection of bulk solids in small vessels or open containers. The non-contact measuring principle is independent of product features and allows a setup without medium.
For this instrument, new radar sensors with connection housing VEGAPULS 11, 21 or 31, or radar sensors with fixed connected cable VEGAPULS C 11, C 21, C 22 or C 23 are available as alternative.
Benefits
- Price-favourable solution for simple applications
- Maintenance-free operation through non-contact measuring principle
- Reliable measurement independent of product features
