  • Page 10: Mounting

    Mounting Solitrend MMP41 Mounting Mounting requirements • The device must be installed at a point in the process in such a way that ensures a constant bulk density, as the bulk density directly affects the calculation of the water content. Where necessary, a bypass should be created or structural measures may be needed at the place of installation to ensure that the material flow, and therefore the bulk density, over the measurement surface is constant.

If materials being measured, such as maize, display a very special temperature dependency of the dielectric constant, such as a temperature dependency only in very specific moisture ranges, it may be necessary to perform complex material temperature compensation.
  • Page 27: Diagnostics And Troubleshooting

    Solitrend MMP41 Diagnostics and troubleshooting Diagnostics and troubleshooting Optimizing the material flow For accurate measurement results, certain limits must be respected with regard to the installation and environmental conditions, and the associated bulk density of the material being measured. Furthermore, there must be a sufficiently thick layer of material covering the sensor.
