Caractéristiques techniques  LGC2

General specifications
Measuring methodLevel control with ceramic measuring cell (dry measuring cell). The pressure acts directly on the rugged ceramic membrane of the device and causes it to move by about max. 0.005 mm.
The effects of air pressure on the liquid surface are transferred via a pressure compensating tube through the extension cable to the rear of the ceramic membrane and compensated. Pressure-dependent changes in capacitance caused by membrane movement are measured at the electrodes of the ceramic carrier. The electronics convert the movement into a pressure-proportional signal which is linear to the medium level.
Equipment architectureAs standard, the complete measuring system consists of a level probe and a transmitter power supply unit with a supply voltage of 10.5 to 30 V DC.
