3.2 Principle of operation
VEGAMIP 61 is a microwave barrier for level detection.
It is designed for industrial use in all areas of process technology and
can be used in bulk solids and liquids.
Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection. With an
operating distance of 100 m, VEGAMIP 61 can be used, for example,
in bulk solids silos with large diameters. Thanks to its simple and
rugged measuring system, VEGAMIP 61 is virtually unaffected by the
process and the chemical and physical properties of the medium.
VEGAMIP 61 can be also used for detection of vehicles and ships or
for material recognition on conveyor belts.
