Moisture Monitor Series 3 - Moisture Analyzer

Moisture Monitor Series 3 - Moisture Analyzer

 

The Moisture Monitor Series 3 Analyzer (MMS 3) analyzer is a single- or dual-channel analyzer with a two-line, alphanumeric LCD for moisture, oxygen, temperature and other parameters. It is available as a battery-powered portable with data logging, making it ideal for spot sampling and storing data from one or two locations without reprogramming. It also offers built-in intrinsic safety for all sensor inputs. The MMS 3 is available in rack, bench, panel, weatherproof and explosion-proof packages.

 

A complete MMS 3 system consists of the MMS 3, a moisture probe, interconnection probe cable and an optional sample system. The MMS 3 can also use the nondepleting oxygen cell to allow oxygen measurement.
