Sensor for measuring the moisture in materials FHA 696 GF1For determining the moisture content in granulated materials such as wood chips,wood pellets, and sawdust • The sensor operates on the principle of an open plate capacitor. The moisture contained in a material can be measured in terms of that material’s dielectric constants. • Moisture content can be determined in a matter of seconds - in wood chips or wood pellets, and sawdust, in grain and cereals, and other granulated materials. • The characteristics of the materials to be measured can be specified on a highly customized basis; a wide variety of granulates, e.g. various cereal types, can thus be measured Technical Data Measuring principle capacitive_ Measuring range 0 to 99.9 % water content _as a weight percentage H2O Measuring radius / penetration depth _approx. 10 cm around the sensor Temp. range of material +5 to +40 °C Operating temp. range +5 to +40 °C_ Storage temp. range -20 to +70 °C_ Signal output_ALMEMO® (voltage)_ Power supply 5 V from ALMEMO® measuring Current consumption approx. 5 mA_ Dimensions Sensor head Cable terminal 0 = 22 mm, length = 200 mm Rounded tip 3 pieces, screw-on 0 = 18 mm, length = 280 mm Plastic Mountable male connector on sensor head_ PVC, length = 2 meters with ALMEMO® connector The cable is led through the extension tubes and end pieces. 11/2025 • We reserve the right to make technical changes. Variants Order no. Sensor for measuring moisture in granulated wood chips and pellets comprising: Sensor head, 3 screw-on extensions, end piece, connecting cable 2 meters, with ALMEMO® connector programmed for wood chips (also programmable for wood pellets; if required, please indicate) including carry case FHA696GF1 Test block for FHA696GF for wood chips and wood pellets ZB9696PE22
