Teconer’s Water Content Monitor WCM511 is an optical moisture sensor designed for detecting moisture content of concrete aggregates. WCM511 is a newer and smaller version of WCM411 Water Content Monitor with similar properties and performance. The diameter of the WCM511 sensor is 50 mm. The smaller size allows easier installation to tight places. WCM511 is designed to measure moisture in coarse and fine materials on belt conveyors or gravity-fed silos. The sensor sends infrared light and measures the amount of retro-reflected light. The measurement is based on absorption of infrared light while it passes through a thin water layer on the surface of the material being measured. A non-contacting remote measurement guarantees stable performance and long lifetime of the sensor.
Smaller in size and therefore even easier to use, the WCM511 will replace the previous WCM411 in the short term.
