Hydro-Probe II Microwave Moisture Sensor - Connections
The Hydro-Probe II microwave moisture sensor can be connected to a control system in three ways: analogue, digital or with a Hydro-View moisture monitor. These different options provide the plant manager with the flexibility to select the most suitable method of connection for their own control system.
Digital Connection
The Hydro-Probe II provides a RS485 serial interface which allows up to 16 sensors to connect directly to a control system via the serial communications link. There are various options for interfacing between the sensor and the control system including a Hydronix approved Ethernet, USB or RS232/RS485 adapter.
Analogue Connection
The Hydro-Probe II provides a linear control output, 4-20mA, 0-20mA (0-10V using 500R) for connection to a batch control system or current loop meter.
Hydro-View Connection
The Hydro-view is an optional display and stand alone calibration interface for calibrating the sensor without the necessity for a PC.
Cabling
Hydronix supplies various cable lengths incorporating the required 10 way MIL-SPEC connector. This enables the sensor signal to be sent to a Control System or PC for configuration and calibration.
