The Moisture Image Series probe is designed to be located at the process, exactly where the measurement is needed. The sensor has a wide temperature operating range and can work in process pressures from vacuum up to 5000 psig (345 bar). No minimum flow rate is required. For additional flexibility, the probe can be located up to 3000 feet (0.9 km) from the analyser, connected by inexpensive, unshielded, cable (AWG 22). As a result, the probe can be placed in the ideal location, even in a large plant, without the cost, delays and installation problems associated with special cabling.
The real power of the MIS probe comes from an electronic module that is attached to the moisture sensor probe. The built-in microprocessor provides 16-bit resolution, a real performance enhancement, allowing it to detect parts per billion (ppb) changes in moisture concentration. In addition, it continuously monitors and compensates the electronics to ensure long-term stability. For convenience, moisture probe calibration data is stored in non-volatile EEPROM, so data entry is automatic and safe from power outage. The Moisture Image Series probe is intrinsically safe, saving the expense and installation problems associated with explosion-proof housings, purges, or external zener requirements of IEC/Zone 0 areas.
