The Hydro-Probe II sensor is designed to give the greatest possible flexibility for mounting. The following points should be considered when positioning the sensor: The measurement field penetrates most dense materials (eg sand) by approximately 100mm. The sensor should always face into material with a minimum depth of 120mm to avoid reflection problems. The sensor should be positioned as close to the bottom of the bin as possible to ensure it does not miss any significant quantity of wet material resulting from drainage between batching.The sensor should be positioned in the flowing material, and not close to the side of the bin as it will cause an obstruction to the flow. When
using aggregates with particles larger than 12mm the use of a deflector
bar is recommended. |

SCHEME 1 Preferred position. Hydro-Probe II fitted in neck of bin using standard mounting sleeve. |
SCHEME 2 Hydro-Probe II mounted in bin using standard mounting sleeve if neck of bin is too small.
|
||||
 |
|
 |
|
||
|
SCHEME 3 Hydro-Probe II may be inclined down at approx 45 degrees to minimise obstruction to the flow, when neck of bin is small. |
SCHEME 4 With multiple bins accessibility is difficult and it may be easier to fit the Hydro-Probe II on the incline. |
||||
 |
|
 |
|
||
|
SCHEME 5 The extended mounting sleeve will be required with wide bins to ensure Hydro-Probe II face is in the flowing material.
|
SCHEME 6 Hydro-Probe II with conveyors or belt feeders. Minimum depth of material 120mm.
|
||||
 |
|
|
|||
|
SCHEME 7 Where space is very restricted, the Hydro-Probe II may be positioned below the bin to avoid flow obstruction |
VIBRATORY FEEDERS Hydro-Probe II may also be used with bins with vibratory feeders. Details available on request. |
