considerable amount of work in the laboratory. For this, the temperature of the material must be
measured with the temperature sensor integrated in the SONO probe, in addition to the
measurement of the moisture. Parameters t0 to t5 can be set in each of the 15 calibration stages
Cal1 to Cal15 (see the "Selecting the individual calibrations" section). If necessary, please contact
the Service Department of the manufacturer if you require assistance with this very complex
material-specific temperature compensation process.

16.2. The analog outputs for outputting the measured values

The measured values are output as a current signal via the analog output. Using the SONO-
CONFIG service program, the SONO probe can be set to two versions: 0 to 20mA or 4 to 20mA.
In addition, with SONO-CONFIG it is also possible to individually configure the moisture range
for the analog output, e.g. 0-10%, 0-20% or 0-30%, depending on the specific requirements.
Output 1: moisture in % (variable setting)
Output 2: conductivity (EC-TRIME) 0 to 12mS/cm or optionally the temperature 0
to 70°C (32° to 158°F), or optionally the standard deviation for moisture
measurement. It is also possible to divide analog output 2 into two ranges to
output both the conductance and the temperature, namely the 4 to 11mA range
for temperature and the 12 to 20mA range for conductivity. Analog output 2
automatically switches between these two current windows every 5 seconds.
The two analog outputs can be individually adjusted with the SONO-CONFIG
software. A 500R resistor can be used for a 0-10V
Therefore, there are several possible settings for analog outputs 1 and 2 with the SONO
probe:
Analog output: choice of 0 to 20mA or 4 to 20mA
0 to 20mA
The current output can also be set inversely for special controllers and applications:
20mA to 0mA and
Analog output channels: The two analog outputs of the SONO probe can be set
differently to one of four possible options.
