Setup of the Sensor Plate
The sensor plate is designed to hold the sensor in position to ensure the ceramic face plate is
in contact with the material. The sensor is attached using the supplied M6 studs, Nuts, and End
caps (Figure 4). The M6 studs are pre-installed with Loctite 290 applied to ensure they are flush
with the underside of the Sensor Plate. If the studs are removed, Loctite 290 must be reapplied.
It is recommended to install the sensor to the sensor plate before fully assembling the Hydro-
Mix XT Skid.

Adjusting the Sensor
Once the Hydro-Mix XT has been attached to the sensor plate, the sensor positioning will need
to be adjusted
To ensure the Hydro-Mix XT can accurately detect the moisture, and to avoid damaged, the
ceramic face plate must be flush with the underside of the Hydro-Mix XT Skid. To adjust the
sensor, place the Hydro-Mix XT onto the mounting studs. Adjust the nuts on the mounting studs
until the ceramic face is completely flush with the underside of the Sensor Plate. A steel ruler,
placed across the underside of the Sensor Plate, can be used to ensure the sensor is correctly
installed. Tighten all fixings to ensure the sensor is fully secured.
