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.

Commissioning Solitrend MMP41 the dielectric constant, i.e. the dielectric constant is the actual parameter measured during moisture measurement. 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.
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.

Diagnostics and troubleshooting Solitrend MMP41 If this is the case, the sensor can then be fine-tuned to achieve an accuracy of ±0.1 % in relation to the laboratory value in a variety of ways. • Depending on the PLC, it is possible to perform a parallel shift/offset in the PLC. The parameter has different names depending on the PLC (e.g.
