With the serial number, it is possible to show the delivery dataof the instrument via "www.vega.com", "VEGA Tools" and"serial number search". In addition to the type label outside onthe instrument, the serial number is also available inside theinstrument.3.2 Principle of operationVEGACAP 27 is a level switch with fully insulated, capacitiveelectrode with screen segment and active tip for leveldetection.VEGACAP 27 is very rugged and maintenance-free and canbe used in all areas of industrial process technology.Typical applications are overfill and dry run protection.Setup of the instrument is very easy because an adjustment isnot necessary. This means that changing products withdifferent dielectric values, such as e.g. water and oil orconductive and non-conductive products, do not influence thesettings on the instrument and their switching accuracy.Fully insulated probes with screen segment like VEGACAP 27are preferably used in conductive, very adhesive liquids.Due to the mechanical construction with screen segment andthe active tip, buildup on the probe is compensated.The capacitive measuring principle places no special require-ments on installation. Hence, many different applications canbe equipped with VEGACAP 27.The instrument can also be used problem-free in corrosiveproducts.Probe, measured product and vessel wall form an electricalcapacitor. The capacitance is influenced by three main factors.Area of applicationFunctional principle8 VEGACAP 27 - - double relay (DPDT)Product description33758-EN-070809
