Digital Microwave Moisture Measurement for Concrete, Asphalt and Process Industries from Hydronix
Hydro-Mix HT High Temperature Microwave Sensor - Dimensions

The Hydro-Mix HT is a microwave sensor designed to measure at high temperature in manufacturing industries that use drying, ducting, conveying and mixing systems during processing.

Construction

  • Body: 316 Stainless Steel (Food Safe)
  • Faceplate: Ceramic (Food Safe)
  • Internal Seals: FDA approved O-Rings

Fixing

The Hydro-Mix HT is flush mounted with the internal wall using the included mounting assembly.

Analogue Outputs

Two 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

Two 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. RS232 converter, Ethernet and USB interfaces are also available.

Measurement Range

  • Moisture: 0-100%, material dependant.
  • Depth: Approx. 75-100mm, material dependant.
