The system can be equipped with up to three sensors. Different C-Boxes (C1, C3) are used accordingly. C3-Box Transmitter 1 (+ 24 V) 2 (GND) Sensor 3 (A) 4 (B) Shield Sensor Sensor max. 300 m Fig. 3: Overview with C3-Box and fi eld housing C3-Box Transmitter 16 (+ 24 V)
2. Function The M-Sens 2 FD sensor functionality is based on precise high-frequency measurement and direct digitalization of measured values, where from results a high resolution. As the material surface and capillary moisture influences strongly its specific conductive capacity, the moisture can be measured exactly by a constant averaged bulk density.
If a damage is found, it is to repaired before further operation of the instruments. Technical progress ENVEA - SWR engineering reserves the right to adapt technical data to the technical progress without • particular advance notice. If you have any questions, ENVEA - SWR engineering will be pleased to...

APPLICATIONS - PRACTICAL EXAMPLES Installation in a screw • The installation of a moisture sensor in screw feeders proved to be very advantageous, since the material passes by the sensor window in even intervals and with relatively constant bulk density. 13,1 Moisture Screw feeder...
Page 9
Installation in a bin • Another installation alternative is to mount a sensor at a bins outlet. Due to constant bulk density in case of a filled bin, the sensor finds an almost unchanging measuring field for monitoring the residual moisture.

Moisture measurement in a mixer • M-Sens 2 FD can be installed, even later on, in all types of mixers. The measuring values logging is done by within the moving material during the mixer procedure. With the measured moisture value of the material in the dryer process parameters like detention time and dosage quantity can be controlled.
4.4 Mounting of the transmitter The transmitter can be installed at a maximum distance of 300 m from the sensor. A cable of type “Ölflex Classic 110 CY” is recommended. The cable should be four wired, twisted and shielded. A minimum cable cross-section of 0.75 mm²...

6. Commissioning At the first commissioning of the M-Sens 2 FD it is necessary to calibrate the sensor. Please consider: Correct connection between sensor, C1-box and evaluation unit. • Correct installation of the sensor in the process. • In case of negative results in spite of consideration of the points as stated above, please contact SWR. Commissioning of the M-Sens 2 FD After the delivery the sensor is not calibrated to the product(s), so each calibration and parameterization has to be executed during the commissioning.
7. Menu structure of M-Sens 2 FD The menu structure supports the user when adjusting the measuring range, the calibration, the measurement values and the choice of additional functions. In this connection, the numbering both on the display and in the PC interface is identical: Measuring range Set all relevant measuring range settings...

Only according to instructions from personnel of ENVEA - SWR engineering: If a detailed error analysis is necessary, a copy of all ModBus registers can be stored as a text file in the installation folder of the software by clicking on the sensor dump.
8. Operator interface The transmitter is a multi-sensor transmitter. It is therefore strongly recommended to check before commissioning whether the correct sensor is selected in menu System. The operator interface differs depending on the system design: • DIN Rail housing without touchscreen, operation via PC software only •...
8.2 Display The display is touch-sensitive. Available keys are displayed directly in context. When the measuring system is first started, a query is initiated to select the language and sensor. If no selection is made, the initialization disappears and the German language with a SolidFlow 2.0 sensor is selected. Initialization screen when the transmitter in the field housing started first time.

The edited data is transmitted to the transmitter via “Device program”. Critical data concerning the ModBus communication and the calibration must be confirmed before the parameters are transmitted to the transmitter: ✔ If, when saving the parameters in the transmitter, the system calibration data is changed, this action must be confirmed by checking “Overwrite calibration”.
In case of a defect during the warranty period, defective components are repaired or are replaced free of charge. Replaced parts turn into the property of ENVEA - SWR engineering. If desired by the costumer that the parts should be repaired or replaced in its factory, then the costumer has to take over the costs for the ENVEA - SWR engineering-service staff.
