VEGAFLEX

is a distance measuring instrument
,
the
distance from the sensor to the product surface is measured

,
an allocation of the
measured distance to the percentage height must be made

the distance is entered with full and

T

because the min

adjustment is always carried out
without changing the product level

made ahead of time without the instrument having to be
installed
