Pre-wet Water
This is the water that is added at the start of the process before the dry mixing commences.
Probe
See Sensor.
RS485
This is the serial communication protocol that the sensors use to communicate digitally with the
control system.
RS485 Address
Up to 16 sensors may be connected on a RS485 network and the address uniquely identifies each
sensor. The sensors leave the factory set to address 16 by default.
Sensor
The sensor is the physical device that is used to measure the moisture in the material.
Unscaled
This is the raw value of the sensor, which changes linearly with the amount of moisture in the
material being measured. The unscaled value is pre-set to read 0 (in air) and 100 (in water).
USB
The Universal Serial Bus is an interface that can be used to attach external devices, such as
memory sticks, to the Hydro-Control.
Wet Mix Time
This is the time taken for the wet mix phase. This is the mixing phase that occurs at the end of the
batch after the main water has been added. During CALC Mode this is when the water will be
mixed to homogeneity and so needs to be set reasonably long. During AUTO Mode this can be
shortened depending on the homogeneity required in the final product.
Wet Weight Moisture
This is the moisture content of the material calculated as the percentage of the weight of water in
the wet weight of material in the sample.
