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.
