3.2 Principle of operationVEGACAP 65 is a level sensor with capacitive electrode forlevel detection.VEGACAP 65 is very rugged and maintenance-free and canbe used in all areas of industrial process technology.Probes such as VEGACAP 65 can be used in solids and innon-conductive liquids.Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection.The capacitive measuring principle places no special require-ments on installation. Hence, many different applications canbe equipped with VEGACAP 65.The instrument can also be used problem-free in adhesiveproducts.The probe, the measured product and the vessel wall form anelectrical capacitor. The capacitance is influenced by threemain factors.

Fig. 2: Functional principle - Plate capacitor1 Distance between the electrode surfaces2 Size of the electrode surfaces3 Type of dielectric between the electrodes

The probe and the vessel wall are the capacitor plates. Themeasured product is the dielectric. Due to the higher dielectricconstant (DK value) of the product compared to air, thecapacitance increases as the probe is gradually covered.The capacitance change is converted by the oscillator into aswitching command.

VEGACAP 65 is a compact instrument, i.e. it can be operatedwithout external evaluation system. The integrated electronicsevaluates the level signal and outputs a switching signal. Withthis switching signal, a connected device can be operateddirectly (e.g. a warning system, a PLC, a pump etc.).The exact range of the supply voltage is specified in the"Technical data" in the "Supplement".

3.3 AdjustmentThe probe can be adapted to the dielectric constant of theproduct directly on the electronics module.A switching command can be triggered when the probe iscovered or laid bare.On the electronics module you will find the following indicatingand adjustment elements:l signal lamp for indication of the switching condition (green/

red)l Potentiometer for switching point adaptationl DIL switch for measuring range selectionl DIL switch for mode adjustment

3.4 Storage and transportYour instrument was protected by packaging during transport.Its capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assuredby a test acc. to DIN 55439.The packaging of standard instruments consists of environ-ment-friendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PEfoam or PE foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging materialvia specialised recycling companies.

4 Mounting4.1 General instructionsIn general, VEGACAP 65 can be mounted in any position. Theinstrument must be mounted in such a way that the probe is atthe height of the requested switching point.With screwed versions, the housing must not be used forscrewing in! Tightening can cause damages on the lockingpiston of the housing.To screw in, use the hexagon above the thread.Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting topower supply") and tighten the cable gland.You can give your VEGACAP 65 additional protection againstmoisture penetration by leading the connection cable down-ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation watercan thus drain off. This applies mainly to mounting outdoors, inareas where moisture is expected (e.g. by cleaning processes)or on cooled or heated vessels.

Fig. 3: Measures against moisture penetration

The process fitting must be sealed if there is gauge or lowpressure in the vessel. Before use, check if the seal material isresistant against the measured product and the processtemperature.

4.2 Mounting informationAgitators, equipment vibration, etc., can cause the level switchto be subjected to strong lateral forces. For this reason, do notuse an overly long probe for VEGACAP 65, but check if youcan mount a short level switch on the side of the vessel inhorizontal position.If VEGACAP 65 is mounted in the filling stream, unwantedfalse measurements may be generated. Mount VEGACAP 65at a location in the vessel where no disturbing influence from e.g. filling openings, agitators, etc. can occur.This applies particularly to instrument versions with a longerprobe.

Fig. 4: Inflowing material

The probe should protrude into the vessel to avoid buildup. Forthat reason, avoid using mounting bosses for flanges andscrewed fittings. This applies particularly to use with adhesiveproducts.

In silos with bulk solids, material cones can form which changethe switching point. Please keep this in mind when installingthe sensor in the vessel. We recommend selecting aninstallation location where the probe detects the average valueof the material cone.The measuring probe must be mounted in a way that takes thearrangement of the filling and emptying apertures into account.To compensate measurement errors caused by the materialcone in cylindrical vessels, the sensor must be mounted at adistance of d/6 from the vessel wall.

5 Connecting to power supply5.1 Preparing the connectionAlways observe the following safety instructions:l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltageConnect the power supply acc. to the following diagrams. Takenote of the general installation regulations. As a rule, connectVEGACAP 65 to vessel ground (PA), or in case of plasticvessels, to the next ground potential. On the side of theinstrument housing there is a ground terminal between thecable entries. This connection serves to drain off electrostaticcharges.The data for power supply are stated in the "Technical data" inthe "Supplement".VEGACAP 65 is connected with standard cable with roundwire cross section. An outer cable diameter of 5 … 9 mm(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable entry.If cable with a different diameter or wire cross section is used,exchange the seal or use an appropriate cable connection.

5.2 Connection stepsWith Ex instruments, the housing cover may only be opened ifthere is no explosive atmosphere present.

Proceed as follows:1 Unscrew the housing cover2 Loosen compression nut of the cable entry3 Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip

approx. 1 cm (0.4 in) insulation from the ends of theindividual wires

4 Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry5 Lift the opening levers of the terminals with a screwdriver

(see following illustration)6 Insert the wire ends into the open terminals according to

the wiring plan7 Press down the opening levers of the terminals, you will

hear the terminal spring closing

Function/Configuration


Set up

30018-EN-060223

The switching status of the electronics can be checked withclosed housing (only plastic housing), see "Function chart".

Note:Screw the housing cover tightly to the point where theinspection glass is above the control lamp (LED).

To adjust VEGACAP 65, first of all remove the housing cover.You can adapt the switching point to the solid with thepotentiometer.As a default setting, the potentiometer of VEGACAP 65 is setto mid position. To make the instrument less sensitive, turn thepotentiometer clockwise. VEGACAP 65 can then detectproducts with high dielectric value (e.g. water) more reliably.To make the instrument more sensitive, turn the potentiometeranticlockwise. VEGACAP 65 can then detect products with lowdielectric value (e.g. oil) more reliably.With the potentiometer (1) and the meas. range selectionswitch (2) you can change the switching point of the probe oradapt the sensitivity of the probe to the electrical properties ofthe product and the conditions in the vessel. This is necessaryso that the level switch can also reliably detect products e.g.with very low or very high dielectric value.Range 1: 0 … 20 pFRange 2: 0 … 85 pFRange 3: 0 … 450 pFWith the mode switch (3) you can change the switchingcondition of the transistor output. You can set the requiredmode (max. - max. detection or overfill protection, min. - min.detection or dry run protection).We recommend connecting acc. to the quiescent currentprinciple (transistor blocks when the switching point isreached) because the transistor output takes on the same(safe) condition if a failure is detected.Control lamp for indication of the switching condition.l green = output conductsl red = output blocksl red (flashing) = failure
