Page 10: Overview
OVERVIEW The ENVEA controller is a real-time processing unit that is the ‘brain’ of the ENVEA NIR system. It stores the configuration of the system, communicates to the sensors, performs all calculations, and shares information to compatible devices via Ethernet. In addition, any field wiring for IO alarms, analog outputs, and factory floor integrations are terminated in this cabinet. -
Page 11: Hardware Components
Hardware Components This section describes the primary components in the ENVEA controller. Display The 4-line LCD display mounted to the enclosure is used to set the IP address of the controller and view the current readings. Press the Mode and Select buttons to navigate through the display configuration. -

(up to 80° C) environments (see Specifications). This guide contains information about how to mount, install, and setup the ENVEA sensor for three primary installation types: (1) belt conveyor, (2) screw conveyor, or (3) pneumatic and/or gravity feed. -
Page 31: Installation Types
In this installation the sensor is mounted above a belt conveyor with material passing below the sensor. The sensor shines a light on the passing material and calculates the moisture content. With over 3000 measurements per second, the ENVEA sensor is capable of reporting accurate results regardless of belt speed... -
Page 32: Sensor Height
Sensor Height The sensor is designed to be placed approximately 225mm away from the material being measured, mounted on a 22mm diameter pipe with lens towards the material. Figure 14 - Distance between sensor and material Although 225mm distance is optimal, each installation is unique, and the distance may be changed to anywhere between 175-350mm Page 32 of 71 Rev. -
Page 33: Product Height Variation
Product Height Variation In the case of intermittent product flow or in situations where the product level changes drastically, it may be necessary to install a plow to obtain a more uniform product height (see Figure 15 - Plow to even height). Figure 15 - Plow to even height For maximum accuracy, the product height should not vary by more than ±25mm Page 33 of 71... -
Page 34: Screw Conveyor
In this type of installation, a 100-125mm diameter hole is cut in the screw conveyor cover half-way between the center shaft and side wall. The light from the ENVEA shines through the hole illuminating the material as it is transported. -
Page 35: Figure 17 - Screw Conveyor Measurement Location
If the auger is visible to the ENVEA system, this may negatively impact the results of the measurement. If this is the case, it is recommended to cut out a section of the auger where the ENVEA is measuring product (see Figure 17 - Screw conveyor measurement location). -
Page 36: Pneumatic/Gravity Feed
The last type of installation is known as a gravity feed or pneumatic conveyance. Typically a powder or fine particulate is conveyed in a tube using gravity and/or air. The ENVEA system can measure this material using an OptoPort accessory to collect samples, measure the results, and blow off the collection window. -
Page 37: Mounting
Mounting The sensor should be mounted in an area that is accessible and over the product, but does not exceed the environmental specifications (see SPECIFICATIONS for more information).
