TOBACCO MOISTURE TRANSMITTER

  MCT 360 - T
 
 
Process Sensors

Smart Sensor Technology - The MCT360-T is a true stand-alone NIRtransmitter. A single, proprietary circuit board drives the measurement along withall analog and digital communication. Includes 4-20 mA, 0-10 volts, RS-232/485or network interfaces such as Ethernet, Profibus, etc. There is no requirement forany intermediary electronics.

Optical Path Compensation - The MCT360-T’s dual beam, single detectorconfiguration monitors the source lamp and all other optical elements, ensuringthat the calibration is unaffected by long term component age.

Wide Spectrum Referencing - The MCT360-T incorporates a uniquereference filter to monitor the tobacco reflectance properties across the completenear infrared (NIR) spectrum. The filter minimizes the influence of tobacco color,blend or type on the Transmitter’s reading.

Measurement Speed - A proven, reliable high speed filter wheel assembly iscombined with a state-of-the-art proprietary single detector optical system. Thisfast sampling technique reduces measurement noise and produces an accurateand repeatable on-line signal.

Product Temperature Monitor - The MCT360-T can be configured tomonitor and display tobacco temperature in Fahrenheit or Centigrade. Thetemperature sensor is contained in the MCT360-T housing. No additionalhardware or wiring is required.
