Digital, Microwave Moisture Sensor for Rotating Pan Mixers, Static Pan Mixers and Conveyors Hydro-Probe Orbiter CONCRETE : AGGREGATES : ASPHALT

Hydro-Probe Orbiter Digital microwave moisture sensor for mixers and conveyors The Hydro-Probe Orbiter is a rugged, digital moisture sensor that measures in fast flowing abrasive materials. Reading at 25 times per second, the arm moves through the material providing a fast and accurate response to changes in moisture. The sensor comprises of 2 parts - the Head Unit which houses the electronics and a hard wearing Sensing Arm, which can be easily changed, eliminating the need to replace the entire sensor. Remote configuration, calibration, diagnostics and firmware upgrades are simple using...

Typical Installation In a rotating pan mixer or conveyor application, the Hydro-Probe Orbiter can be cabled directly to the control system. In a static pan mixer the sensor cable is routed through the Hydronix Rotating Connector. Connectivity Direct Connection to PC The RS485 serial interface provides a direct connection to an operator interface or a PC. Direct Connection to Control System The analogue or serial interface integrates easily with a moisture control system. Hydro-Control Connection Provides a complete system to control moisture in a mixing application. Network up to 16 sensors...
