MOISTURE SENSOR-INDSCAN

DESCRIPTION

CEERI developed IR Moisture Sensor based on principle of selective absorption of Infrared radiation by water molecules
The non-contacting, non-destructive IR Moisture sensor offers instantaneous measurement with best accuracy and repeatability
This sensor gives a signal proportional to water weight and basis weight information from an adjacent nucleonic sensor is taken to compute percentage moisture

FEATURES:

  • Thermoelectrically cooled solid state detector provides efficient detection, stability and temperature insensitivity
  • High wattage tungsten halogen infrared source for consistent performance of the sensor
  • Advanced signal processing integrated circuitry offers high reliability and minimal drifts
  • Standard check samples coupled with verification procedures offers quick check to ensure performance
  • Built-in calibration algorithms and standardized procedures help establish linear calibrations
  • Full spares and service backup eliminating the need to replace the complete sensor unit
