3.2 Principle of operation
The VEGAFLEX 86 is a level sensor with coax probe for continuous
level or interface measurement, suitable for applications in liquids
with high temperatures up to 450 °C (842 °F).
High frequency microwave pulses are guided along a steel cable or
a rod. Upon reaching the product surface, the microwave pulses are
reflected. The running time is evaluated by the instrument and output-
ted as level.
