5 Calibration of the Sensor
On completion of the installation the Hydro-Mix XT moisture sensor will need to be calibrated to
the material. This calibration will enable the sensor to output a moisture %. To calibrate the sensor,
refer to the Sensor Configuration and Calibration Guide HD0679
5.1
Sampling Point
A sampling point close to the sensor is required to facilitate the collection of material that
represents the particular batch passing the sensor. If the sampling point is not close or is not in
line with the sensor the calibration process may not be accurate (Figure 14)

6 Maintenance
The following are recommended to help maintain the Hydro-Mix XT Skid:
• Visually inspect to confirm that the Hydro-Mix XT Skid is operating at the correct height,
especially if the material on the conveyor belt has changed. Never allow the Hydro-Mix XT
Skid to come into contact with the conveyor belt, as this will increase the wear on the
underside. Damage to the sensor caused by an incorrectly adjusted Hydro-Mix Skid will
not be covered by the warranty.
•
Some materials can cause a build-up on the surface of the Hydro-Mix XT Skid, especially
if it is sticky; this will need to be monitored after installation to confirm that it does not
interfere with the sensors contact with the material.
