Microwave Moisture Meter
RX-95
-
The system works based on the absorption of microwave energy by water molecules contained inthe x-rayed material. It is a non-contact, non-destructive method of instant measurement of water content - used for materials such as coal, flour, grain, cement, seeds, sugar, etc. Thanks to high measurement sensitivity (resolution greater than 0.01% of water content by weight), short measurement time (about 5 times/sec.) and repeatability of measurement - the system is suitable for continuous measurement of material moisture, e.g. on conveyor belts and its recording on a PC or using a 4-20 mA current loop.

Loop-Powered Transmitters and Drivers
4-20mA
-
Loop-Powered Transmitters convert the output from proximity probes, seismic sensors, into a 4-20mA DC current, which is proportional to the input being measured. The transmitter converts the displacement or vibration signal to DC voltage and/or current for a DCS or PLC system. They control a 4-20mA current loop for a specified vibration range (ex. 0-5 mils peak-to-peak). The transmitters have a two-wire hook-up, powered solely by the loop current and have a power supply range of 15 to 36 volts.
