Product catalog summary
Introduction
The SONO VARIO moisture sensors utilize TRIME® radar technology for inline moisture determination in aggregates, ensuring consistent quality control during dosing without value drift or probe wear.

Specifications
- Measures moisture in aggregates like sand, gravel, and crushed stones up to 32 mm.
- Calibration for common aggregates is pre-stored; individual adjustments possible.
- Wear-resistant surfaces available to extend sensor lifespan.
- Compatible with standard control systems; simple commissioning and parameterization.

Installation Recommendations
- Install under silo hatch or on dosing belt for stable measurements.
- Avoid installation inside the silo.
- Ensure uniform material flow and prevent material accumulation on the sensor.

Product Variants
- SONO VARIO Standard: For sand and gravel up to 8 mm.
- SONO VARIO Xtrem: For abrasive materials, including crushed stones.
- SONO SILO: Designed for narrow spaces, available in Standard and Xtrem versions.
- SONO VIEW: Optional display for up to 16 sensors, includes PC interface.

Technical Data
- Probe dimensions vary by model; all feature stainless steel housing with ceramic window.
- Moisture measurement range: 0-100% vol., with accuracy up to 0.1%.
- Conductivity range: 0-12 mS/m.
- Power supply: +12V to +24V DC.
- Connection options include analog interface and external display.

Conclusion
The SONO VARIO sensors provide reliable, real-time moisture measurement for aggregates, enhancing quality management and operational efficiency in industrial settings.
