Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VRY2A Capacitive Level Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi VRY2A is a robust capacitive level sensor designed for point-level detection of solids, liquids and granulated materials in industrial tanks, hoppers and process vessels. Its capacitive sensing principle detects changes in the dielectric properties of material entering the sensing field, providing dependable level monitoring without a mechanically operated float.
The VRY2A features a cylindrical Ø30 mm thermoplastic polyester housing with a 1½-inch pipe thread for process mounting. Its non-flush sensing design provides an operating sensing distance of up to 8 mm, while screw terminals and a cable-gland entry provide a practical electrical installation arrangement.
Designed for operation with a separate amplifier relay, the VRY2A connects to compatible Carlo Gavazzi SV150/250 or SV160/260 level-control amplifiers. With IP67 protection, an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C and pressure capability up to 10 bar, it is suited to demanding industrial level-detection applications.
