Generally, a sensor is located after an oven, fryer, dryer or cooker, prior to the packaging area. The Transmitter is often placed over a conveyor, usually at a distance of about 12 inches from the product.

When installing a Sensor, it is important to keep environmental temperature in mind, especially after the oven outlets. If the temperature is above 60°C, it may be necessary to cool the Transmitter with air or water.

Calibrations for most human food products have already been determined by Process Sensors Corporation so that the Transmitter is delivered pre-calibrated. Typical accuracies for moisture of human foods are ± .2 compared to standard loss on drying.
