- Description
- A digital microwave sensor to measure moisture in sands and aggregates. The main parts of the sensor include the mechanical housing, which is made from stainless steel, this being a body and two end caps. A sensing face plate is made from alumina ceramic. Internally there are two circuit boards, and resonator (antenna) and cable connection to an external 10 way connector. Measurements are derived from the effect on a radio frequency signal/field emitted from the sensor when different materials are placed on its sensing head. The unit is manufactured in the UK. The sensor is known as a Hydro- Probe. Packaging is a cardboard outer with two internal foam inserts.
