In this section we clarify the most frequently asked questions about installation, accuracy and operation.
The reading obtained by the sensor has an accuracy of ±1 mm, ideal for precise volume control in feed or grain silos. The final accuracy may vary depending on the product and the emptying mode, especially in dusty materials.
Yes, in large diameter silos, we recommend the installation of one sensor if the material conditions are favorable. Otherwise, the installation of more than one sensor allows us to calculate the average.
The sensors can be configured to adapt to the reading frequency you need.
Silometric should be installed to compensate for cones formed during filling or emptying of the silo. By directing the laser from the top towards the center of the cone and focusing on the midpoint of the mound or void, the measured volume will be compensated.
There is no limit. You can connect multiple Silometric sensors to the same Master gateway, within a radius of up to 500 m.
