Abstract
A device for determining the fill level of a medium in a container having at least one electronic device and at least one signal conductor arrangement. The electronic device supplies the signal conductor arrangement 5 with electromagnetic signals. To provide a device for determining the fill level, the signal conductor arrangement has several emitting devices and the electronic device provides at least one measure for an emitting behavior of at least one emitting device.
Claims8
A device for determining the fill level of a medium in a container, comprising:
- at least one electronic device, and
- at least one signal conductor arrangement,
- wherein the at least one electronic device is constructed for supplying the at least one signal conductor arrangement with electromagnetic signals,
- wherein the at least one signal conductor arrangement has a plurality of emitting devices,
- wherein the emitting devices are attached to a support element,
- wherein the support element is constructed for being inserted into a side wall of a container,
- wherein the at least one electronic device is adapted for emitting the electromagnetic signals in the interior of the container during operation,
- wherein the at least one electronic device is adapted for providing at least one measure for an emitting behavior of the plurality of emitting devices,
- wherein the electronic device is adapted for supplying the plurality of emitting devices with the electromagnetic signals with a predeterminable frequency,
- wherein the predeterminable frequency essentially corresponds to a resonance frequency of the emitting devices either when out of contact with the medium or when covered by the medium.
