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 Hydronix...

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 using...
