Once mechanically installed as shown in Figure 7, the height of the Hydro-Skid should be
adjusted so that the underside of the Hydro-Mix XT Skid is at least 50mm from the conveyor,
this is achieved by adjusting the position of the mounting plate (Figure 8). The height
adjustment range is shown in Figure 8.
220mm
140mm

Positioning the Hydro-Skid too close to the conveyor can result in erratic sensor readings
(conveyor belt interference). As part of the installation it is important to check that the sensor
signal is stable while the belt is running as detailed below.
1. Install the Hydro-Mix XT Skid and sensor as described.
2. Connect the sensor to a suitable computer running Hydro-Com software, available free
from www.hydronix.com. A USB Sensor Interface (SIM01) or RS485/232 adapter will
be required. See the Hydro-Com user guide HD0682 for details.
3. Adjust the height of the Hydro-Mix XT Skid so that the minimum distance between the
empty conveyor belt and the underside of the Hydro-Skid is at least 50mm.
4. The Unscaled Output of the sensor should be checked to ensure that it is as close to
zero as possible. The Unscaled Output will increase if the sensor is too close to the
conveyor. Increase the height of the sensor to reduce the Unscaled output of the sensor.
5. Once the belt is running with material the Hydro-Mix XT Skid should be adjusted to allow
it to ride on the surface of the material on the belt so it removes any air gaps between
the sensor and the material, retaining the 50mm gap to the belt (Figure 9).
6. Ensure a consistent material flow beneath the sensor (Figure 9)
