• Data-streaming technology with automatic bus arbitration.
- Indirect measuring method: Capacity determination in the high frequency stray field. This method uses the different dielectric constant (permittivity) of water 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.
- Material flow: The entire liquid is measured (coaxial capacitor).
- Rapid reaction time: The sensor measures 30 times a second and passes on already averaged values to the evaluation unit.
- Measurement accuracy: Stable, extremely high measurement resolutions of up to 3 ppm are possible.
- High-quality materials: The use of high-quality materials is also reflected in the resistance to a wide range of oils.
- Software and evaluation and transfer module: The mandatory software integrated in the Litronic-FMS evaluation and transfer unit is used for recording, processing and preparing the values measured by the sensors, parametrisation and calibration. In addition, the unit offers graphic visualisation and further signal transfer to higher-level controls.
