Sensor configuration
All HB-product sensors can be configured using a laptop and a “M12-USB” cable. The software can be downloaded
freely on the HB products web page. The configuration data can be stored in the sensor and will be there until erased
even without power connection—just like you store data on a memory stick. When you change a value/setting there will
be put a check mark next to it and that indicates you have changed something and need to store the data in the sensor.
The sensor has three different operation modes.
The sensor mode is selected in the basic settings.
Simple analog
In this mode the sensor provides an analog signal 4-20 mA linear to the ice thickness. The temperature
sensor is only used to eliminate measurements when the sensor is wet. The only additional data processing
done is an averaging of the output based on the filtering constant.
Parameters used for controlling the output:
• Filter time constant - averaging time in sec
• Disable temp – above this temperature the output will be 4 mA because the measurement
is invalid due to water.
