Commissioning Solitrend MMP40 Commissioning Analog outputs for measured value output The measured values are output as a current signal via the analog output. The device can be set to 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA. The current output can also be set inversely to 20 to 0 mA or 20 to 4 mA for special controllers and applications.
Solitrend MMP40 Commissioning Channels of the analog outputs The analog outputs can be set differently to the following possible options: Moisture, temperature Output 1 for moisture, output 2 for material temperature. Moisture, conductivity Output 1 for moisture, output 2 for conductivity in the range from 0 to 20 mS/cm...

Solitrend MMP40 Diagnostics and troubleshooting If the moisture value of the sensor deviates by more than ±1 % from the laboratory value during initial commissioning, this may be due to the following: • The sensor is not correctly installed under the silo discharge hatch. The surface of the sensor must be completely covered with sand/gravel when the hatch opens.
