The WMS II sensors are permitted for the following markets:
In addition to their high precision and robustness, the measuring devices from Bad Schussenried are characterised by their reproducibility.
Once the system has been calibrated, further measuring points can be set up or devices renewed on this basis at any time without great effort. The plant thus always remains reliable, regardless of its previous term and age.

- Indirect measuring method: Capacity determination in the high frequency stray field. This method uses the different dielectric constant (permittivity) of water and different materials (solids and liquids)
- Fully reproducible sensors: If the plant is subsequently extended with sensors or if sensors are replaced, no recalibration is necessary thanks to the built-in microprocessor.
- Process control and regulation: Thanks to extensive interfaces, the moisture measurement can be integrated into process control systems and controls.
- Cost saving: Time-consuming and costly laboratory analyses are no longer necessary or can be reduced.
- Temperature measurement/temperature compensation: The sensor can also be used to determine the temperature of the medium.
- Limit values: Maximum or minimum limits can be set using the software. Light or sound signals can be triggered if required.
- Mean value calculator: The sensor passes on already averaged values to the FMS evaluation and transfer module.
- Compressive strength: The rod sensor withstands process pressures of up to 75 bar.
- Sliding fitting: For cleaning, flushing or sensor replacement, the sliding fitting can be easily pulled out of the pipeline even under these circumstances without disturbing the process.
- Flange: Use the flange to connect the sensor to the pipeline, tank system or bulk solid receptacle
- Sliding fitting: With the sliding fitting you can mount the sensor on tank systems (rod sensor) and pipelines. The sliding fitting allows the sensor to be changed quickly without having to empty and depressurise the tank or the pipe.
- External display and control unit: The display and control unit is mounted up to 50 m away from the sensor in an easily accessible position. It is connected directly to the electronics of the sensor and powered by it.
- Software: for start-up and configuration.
