- Reliable, rugged, economical solution for moisture monitoring applications
- Configurable to meet specialized requirements
- Easily integrated into process control systems
Product Specifications
FP Series sensors feature proven capacitive moisture sensing technology in a flat plate configuration. This allows its mounting in a mixer, an auger, a chute, or a sled riding on granular material being transported by a belt conveyor for continuous measurement of moisture content.
Its milliamp moisture and temperature outputs resist electromagnetic interference, can be displayed on our Digital Moisture Display Interface (DiMDI) and/or transmitted as an analog signal for integration into a process control system.
