Description

The VEGAPOINT 21 is a robust and efficient capacitive limit switch designed for precise detection of water-based media. It is perfectly suited for compact tanks, pipelines, and process systems where traditional sensors may be too bulky. With its fully integrated electronics and easy-to-install design, the VEGAPOINT 21 ensures long-term reliability with no moving parts or recalibration required.

In marine applications, the VEGAPOINT 21 is ideal for use in drinking water tanks, greywater systems, scrubber water reservoirs, and small process vessels. Its vibration-resistant construction and IP69K-rated housing make it suitable for harsh shipboard environments where water, cleaning agents, and salt air are present.

The sensor features a 360° illuminated status ring, allowing crew or operators to instantly verify sensor status at a glance. In addition, IO-Link communication offers full system integration with advanced diagnostics and fast commissioning — especially useful in large marine automation systems or multiple tank setups.

Marine Technic delivers the VEGAPOINT 21 to marine engineers, shipbuilders, and system integrators who require space-saving sensors without compromising on performance or compliance. With deep expertise in VEGA instrumentation, Marine Technic ensures seamless implementation and technical support tailored to demanding environments.
