No items found.
The Hydro-Probe is a pioneer in moisture sensors, being the first to use digital microwave moisture measurement technology. By using integral signal processing, it provides linear measurement readings in both digital and analogue signals allowing it to be easily integrated with any control system.
With its durable construction of stainless steel and ceramic, it is designed to work with a number of materials (sand, cement, concrete, asphalt, aggregates, etc.) and in a number of harsh locations (aggregate bins, silos, chutes and conveyor belts).
- Digital technology provides precise linear moisture measurement at a rate of 25 readings per second.
- Advanced Digital Signal Processing provides a clear signal with rapid response.
- Fully temperate compensated measurement.
- Two analogue outputs, digital RS485 communications and configurable digital inputs/output, alarms.
- Remote communication with Hydro-Com software allows configuration of all sensor parameters.
- Consistent performance with no need for recalibration except for use with different materials.
- Calibration data points stored within the sensor for improved quality control.
- Stand alone or simple integration into a new or existing automation system.
- The Averaging Mode provides a continuous “average” moisture over a batch.
- Averaging, “Bin Empty” and “High Moisture” Alarms and Signal Processing are performed internally by the sensor.
The Hydro-Probe is a rugged, digital, microwave sensor designed to measure moisture in flowing materials. Typical applications include moisture measurement in abrasive materials such as sand, aggregates and concrete.
Moisture Range
The sensor will measure up to saturation of material.
Material Penetration
Approximately 75-100mm dependent on material.
Operating Temperature
0-60 °C. The sensor will not measure in ice.
Refresh Rate
Outputs are updated 25 times per second.
Connections
The sensor is fitted with a 10-way MIL-SPEC connector. A 4, 10 or 25 metre, 6 twisted pair cable pre-assembled for connection to a waterproof junction box is available.
Power Supply
+15Vdc to +30Vdc. 4W
Construction
- Body: Stainless Steel
- Faceplate: Ceramic
Fixing
The sensor must be placed in the flow of material.
- Bins and Silos:– Install in the neck of a bin or underneath the gate. Standard and Extension Mounting Sleeves are available to suit different bin widths.
- Conveyors:– Secure in the flow of material
Analogue Outputs
2 Configurable 0-20mA or 4-20mA current loop source available for moisture and temperature. May also be converted to 0-10V DC.
Digital Inputs/Output
2 configurable digital signals are provided for batch average start/stop or for moisture / temperature multiplexing purposes.
Digital (Serial) Communications
Opto-isolated RS485 2-wire port. Uses Hydro-Com communications protocol for read/write access to sensor parameters and values. Ethernet and USB interfaces are also available.
