USB Sensor Interface Module
Interface unit between a Hydronix sensor and a pc. More...

RS232 (KK) Connector
Connecting one or more sensors to a PC for use with the Hydro-Com protocol requires a suitable RS232-RS485 connector. Hydronix supply a convenient unit which will mount directly onto a 9-pin COM port connector

Cables
Hydronix sensor cables come pre terminated with a MIL-Spec connector and are 6 twisted pair. They are available in 4, 10 and 25m lengths and come complete with a high precision resistor for providing the analogue voltage output.

Mounting Sleeves
Different mounting sleeves are available for installation in different width bins and silos.

Flange Mounting Sleeve
For vertical installations

Clamp Ring
For mounting the Hydro-Probe

Replaceable Ceramic Kit
Hydro-Mix digital sensors have been designed with replaceable ceramics for cases of extreme wear or breakage

Clamp Ring
Adjustable Clamp Ring for mounting the Hydro-Mix.
Note: these are supplied with all new sensors.

Hydro-Skid
The Hydro-Skid is a mounting device designed to enable a Hydro-Mix moisture sensor to ride over the surface of flowing material on a belt conveyor. Measurements are then taken by the sensor as the material passes underneath.

HMXT Cable
The sensor is supplied with a 4m factory fitted integrated cable.

Fixing Plate Kit
Required if the Hydro-Mix XT is not being installed in a Hydronix Ducting System.

Hydronix Ducting System - Vertical
Stainless steel unit designed to be inserted into existing ducting and used with the Hydro-Mix XT. More...

Hydronix Ducting System - Angled
Stainless steel unit designed to be inserted into existing angled ducting (as shown in the image) that is 30° to 50° from vertical and used with the Hydro-Mix XT. More...

Hydro-Skid
The Hydro-Skid is a mounting device designed to enable a Hydronix Hydro-Mix XT moisture sensor to measure material on a conveyor belt. Measurements are then taken by the flush mounted sensor as the material passes underneath. An optional flow extension plate can be used to extend the measurement area if mounting the sensor on the end of the conveyor.
