SONO-MOVE PTFE for highly adhesive materials such as calcerous lime sand or powder. The probe head is completely made of PTFE and thus providing best possible non-adhesive properties.
- The novel probe head consists of PTFE where three very thin metal films serve as signal conductors. Thanks to the wedge-shaped structure and with 40mm thickness of the probe the flow of the material on the conveyor belt is only slightly affected.
- The sensor head and the electronics dispose of a modular construction. In case of a mechanical break down of the sensor head, the same can be exchanged easily. The existing SONO electronics remain unaffected.
- Even in the event of abrasion at the probe head, the automatic measurement compensation enables significantly longer operating periods without the necessity of recalibration.
- The TRIME technology ensures safe measurements even under difficult conditions, e.g. if the bulk material contains conductive elements with up to 12dS/m pore water conductivity. The radar-based evaluation of the conductance (RbC – Radar based Conductance) enables to establish the mineral content in the measured material and consequently ensures an improved quality control.
- The intelligent pre-processing of the measurement values featuring smooth mean value accumulation, adjustable filters, and up to 15 calibration curves for the calibration which is already conducted in the sensor itself. Usually, external evaluation devices are not required.
- A RS485 interface enables network operation of the sensor. It already contains a data bus protocol for the connection of several SONO sensors.The connection of the sensor to industrial buses such as Profibus, Ethernet, etc. is possible via optional external modules (available upon request).

The sensor measures from 0% up to the point of material saturation. Measurementranges up to 90% moisture are possible with a material specific calibration.
|
The sensor, as a material-specific characteristic value, delivers the radar-basedconductance (RbC – Radar-based-Conductance) in a range of 0…12dS/m. Theconductivity range is reduced in measurement ranges >50%.
|
MEASUREMENT MODE CF: For slow measurement operations with the optionof the smooth mean value accumulation including filtering with accuracies of upto 0.1%.
MEASOREMENT MODE CS: For fast measurement operations (withoutaveraging) with up to 100 internal measurements per second and with a cycletime of 200 milliseconds at the analogue output.

+7V to +30V DC, 1,5 W max.
|
0 - 70°C; A higher temperature range is available upon request!
|
2 x Analogue Outputs 0(4)…20mA
Output 1: Moisture in % (variably adjustable)
Output 2: Conductivity (RbC) or optionally the temperature.
The two analogue outputs can be variably aligned with the SONO-CONFIGsoftware. For a 0-10V DC voltage output, a 500R resistor can be installed.
|
The sensor is provided with a universal calibration. A maximum of 15 differentcalibrations can be stored. For special materials, variable calibrations withpolynomials up to the 5th order are possible and can be downloaded into thesensor with the SONO-CONFIG software (Download per Internet). A zero pointcorrection can be performed easily with the SONO-CONFIG software.
|
A RS485 interface enables network operation of the sensor, whereby a data bus protocol for the connection of several SONO sensors to the RS485 is implemented by default. The connection of the sensor to industrial buses such as Profibus, Ethernet, etc. is possible via optional external modules (available upon request).
|
The sensor is equipped with a robust 10-pole MIL flange connector. Ready made connection cables with MIL connectors are available in the lengths 4m, 10m, or 25 m.
|
Approximately 50 - 80 mm, depending on material and moisture.
