1 General to all Applications
The Hydro-Mix XT Skid is designed to allow a Hydro-Mix XT sensor to measure the moisture
contained in flowing material on a belt conveyor. The following is recommended when installing
the Hydro-Mix XT Skid:
• The Hydro-Mix XT Skid should be positioned to allow the ceramic face plate of the sensor
to be in constant contact with the material.
• Position the Hydro-Mix XT Skid so it is easily accessible to allow routine maintenance,
adjustment and cleaning.
• Avoid areas of severe turbulence. The optimal signal will be obtained where there is a
smooth flow of material across the sensor ceramic face plate.
• In order to calibrate the sensor, to output a moisture percentage value, it is necessary to
take a sample of the material soon after it has passed beneath the sensor. An area to the
trailing edge of the Hydro-Mix XT Skid will need to be kept free from obstructions to enable
samples to be taken (see page 20).
