appliance tips and information
1.2 Conventional usage
The µ-ICC 2.45 compact is a measuring system based on a microwave
transmission technology. Therefore the product is transmitted by a very low
capacity of microwave radiation. The microwaves are completely harmless for
human and the environment. So there is no change of product properties.
This measuring system is produced according the latest safety requirements
for microwave devices. If there are legal regulations regarding the use of
microwaves the user has the responsibility to observe it.
It is not allowed to change the frequency of the device. Furthermore other
manipulation within the device could involve criminally consequences.
1.3 General safety & warning notices
The µ-ICC 2.45 compact is build with all included components according to
the latest state of technology and approved safety standards.
The housing is IP 65 certified and dedicated for outdoor use. Factory-
provided it is proofed and will be delivered reliably.
The safety and warning notices have to be strictly adhered to guarantee a
safe operating. The operating is only allowed if the system is in good order
and condition. There are only those persons allowed to operate with this
system, who are briefed and qualified. Reconstructions or changes, which
may have an influence on a safety operating are prohibited specifically.

1.3.1 Environmental conditions
All components require non-corrosive environmental conditions while
transporting, stocking and operating.
1.3.2 Electrical treatments
The power supply must be interrupted during the installation and also for
technical service to avoid getting in contact with energized parts.
Before opening the evaluation unit the power supply must be interrupted! It’s
prohibited to work with opened device while it’s energized!
Spare part fuses must have the manufacturer specified values. To shorten
the circuit or any other manipulation are prohibited!
The evaluation unit must be earthed when it is mains-connected.
If there has gotten fluids into the device, it has to be interrupted the power
supply. Successive the device has to be controlled and cleaned by an
authorized person.
Without exact knowledge of this manual there must not be changes on the
installation or on any parameter settings. In addition there has to be known
the possible behaviour of the actuator and the influence on the
process.

2 System description µ-ICC 2.45 compact
The µ-ICC 2.45 compact is a measuring device which combines a compact
housing with the latest technical standards in microwave measurement. It is
based on the successful and long time proofed µ-ICC 2.45.
In addition to the compact housing, this device comes with a lot of new
features like higher class components, simplified handling (like USB plug-in
for connection with a PC or an additional sample push-button) and also an
improved memory mode. The device is placed nearby the measuring location,
where it’s directly connected to the microwave sensor probes.
This manual will give you an explanation of the very simple handling and
implementation of this system.
2.1 Measuring principle
Precondition for a successful measurement is the dielectricity of the medium.
Thus water contained products are in general good to measure, because the
microwaves are absorbed by free water molecules.
Another dependency is the distance between the sensor probes. Here it is
important that the signal strength is quite enough to get from the transmitter
to the receiver. Therefore proMtec offers the best fitting geometry for each
special application.

•The microwave signal is conducted into the medium by the transmitter. The
receiver collects the alleviated microwaves.
•The reference signal has the typical propagation without any influences. It is
used as a comparison with the alleviated microwave signal, to calculate a
phase shift (decrease of propagation velocity) or an attenuation.
•The phase shift is a decrease of the propagation velocity
•With this information it is calculated a value for the water content, density or
total dry matter content.

2.2 Components
The measuring system is composed of two components – the evaluation unit
and the sensor probes. These probes are mounted into a pipe section (with
flat sensor probes) or into a vessel (insertion sensor probes) and are
connected via microwave cables with the evaluation unit.
The system is – like the standard version – temperature compensated.
Therefore it has to be connected to a temperature sensor, which is also
included within the system.
2.2.1 Evaluation unit
The evaluation unit is available in different types. As standard there is the
complete version with all features, alternatively it is also a version available
which is delivered without the display. Therefore it must be operated with a
PC via USB connection.

2.2.2 Sensor with probes
proMtec offers a great variety of sensor types. Depending on the several
application proMtec designs the best fitting sensor type for implementing in
your process without complexity.
Standard versions are on the one hand inline pipe sections, where flat sensor
probes are fitted onto the pipe. On the other hand there are insertion sensors
with two probes used in a special flange for installation in vessels.
In each case the evaluation unit is directly connected with the sensor probes
via microwave cables.
2.2.3 Cables
The microwave cables attend to carry the signal directly to the measuring
point and backwards to the evaluation unit. These cables are produced in
accordance to the newest technology and with the best available shielding
and assure a low-loss propagation.
The cables are delivered with a length of one to three meters (depending on
the requirements). Despite the high shielding the cables should be as short
as possible to avoid too much power loss.
The temperature sensor itself is already mounted into the pipeline
respectively the insertion sensor tube. So you’ve just to connect the cable
with the sensor and on the other side with the connectors inside the device
(read chapter 2.3.2).

2.3 Installation
2.3.1 Installation of the Evaluation unit
The device is delivered with a sub plate with four holding flaps (H x B = 120 x
180 mm for Ø 6 mm).
In cause of the limitation of microwave cables you should find a place nearby
the measuring location, where you can also operate comfortably. If there is no
adequate place for a comfortable operation, there is also the option to
operate with your PC via integrated USB port.
2.3.2 Connections and dimensions of the evaluation unit
To get an overview about the circuit points and the way how to connect
them, there is following connection list.
Before opening the evaluation unit and for connecting of any cable the power
supply must be interrupted!
Choose a dedicated mounting location that the cables are strain-relieved!
Do not snap the microwave cables!
With connecting of the signal output mind the polarity! This signal output is an
active current output.
Do not torque down the coupling nuts onto the evaluation unit too much!
