VEGA CAP98.XPYDS Level Switch | Capacitance, Plastic Housing, 3/4" NPT, PNP/DPDT, IP66/IP68

VEGA CAP98.XPYDS switch specifications. Capacitance point level switch, plastic housing, 3/4" NPT, PNP/DPDT output, IP66/IP68, compact.

Product Overview

The VEGA CAP98.XPYDS is a CAP 98 series compact capacitance point level switch designed for the detection of liquids, pastes, and powders. It uses the capacitance measurement principle to detect the presence or absence of media at a single point. The extended model code defines a specific configuration with plastic housing, 3/4" NPT process connection, PNP or DPDT relay switching output, and a compact, economical design suitable for general-purpose applications.

Important Notes

1. The "XPYDS" suffix defines the specific configuration: plastic housing, 3/4" NPT, and the chosen output type (PNP or DPDT).

2. This model is designed for general-purpose applications​ and does not include hazardous area certifications (ATEX/IECEx).

3. For proper operation, the switch must be correctly grounded, and the vessel must be conductive or a reference electrode used.

4. Sensitivity is factory pre-set for water; adjustment may be required for other media.

5. The plastic housing limits the maximum process temperature to 100°C.
