VEGACAL 63 Capacitive rod probe for continuous level measurement
$1,120.00
The VEGA VEGACAL 63 is a capacitive rod‑type level sensor designed for continuous level measurement of liquids. It features a fully insulated rod electrode made of PE or PTFE, enabling universal application in both conductive and non‑conductive liquids. The design delivers high functional safety and a robust mechanical structure suited to industrial conditions.
This sensor is ideal for tanks and vessels where accurate, maintenance‑free level monitoring is required. It supports different process connections and a variety of output interfaces for process automation systems.
Not Recommended For:
• Applications where only simple local float switches are sufficient
• Measurement of gas‑only environments without liquid interface

Selection Notes
• Confirm the type of liquid medium, including whether it is conductive or non‑conductive.
• Verify the required measuring range up to 6 m, depending on probe length.
• Choose the insulation material (PE or PTFE) according to chemical compatibility.
• Select the appropriate process connection, such as threaded (≥ G½ / ≥ ½ NPT) or flanged (≥ DN25 / ≥ 1″).
• In addition, define the required output interface, including 4…20 mA/HART, PROFIBUS PA or Foundation Fieldbus.
Why Choose the VEGA VEGACAL 63
• Universal Liquid Application
Because the rod electrode is fully insulated, the sensor works well in both conductive and non‑conductive liquids. This flexibility simplifies inventory and selection.
• Simple Installation and Setup
The sensor offers straightforward mounting and adjustment, helping reduce commissioning time and labor costs.
• Robust Mechanical Construction
With its durable design and reliable electrode insulation, the sensor offers a long operational life and reduced maintenance needs.
• Full Level Utilization
Measurement along the complete probe length allows maximum tank utilization and accurate level data across the entire range.
• Flexible Output Options
Various digital and analog outputs are available, including 4…20 mA with HART, Foundation Fieldbus, and PROFIBUS PA, making integration with automation systems easier.
FAQ
Q: What is the measuring principle of VEGACAL 63?
A: It uses capacitive level measurement, where the probe and vessel form an electrical capacitor. As the liquid covers the probe, capacitance changes and the electronics convert it into a level‑proportional signal.
Q: Can this sensor measure both conductive and non‑conductive liquids?
A: Yes. The fully insulated rod electrode enables universal use in a wide range of liquids.
Q: What outputs are supported?
A: Output options include 4…20 mA/HART, PROFIBUS PA and Foundation Fieldbus.
Q: What process connections are available?
A: The VEGACAL 63 supports threaded and flanged connections such as ≥ G½ / ≥ ½ NPT and ≥ DN25 / ≥ 1″.
