The portable, accurate and universally applicable MW 1100 and MW 1100S are light-weight and easy-to-use models which allow operators to quickly and accurately measure the moisture in a wide variety of products. They are particularly suitable for manufacturing departments, goods receiving stations and quality controllers.

The sensor of the MW 1100 is flat and dish-like at the bottom, designed to ensure full contact with the sample under analysis. A MW 1100S measurement is made when the lancet probe with the sensor at its tip is pushed into a bale, filled box or similar package. In both cases, the moisture content is measured and shown within one second.

The MW1100 series are battery-powered and feature a backlit LCD graphics display and integral planar sensor. MW 1100-series units come in a compact portable case containing the measuring unit, a universal power pack, a charger lead for operation in vehicles, and an interface cable.

The actual moisture measuring range is specific to the material under analysis and can be selected in some cases. An integral infrared temperature sensor reads the product temperature in the range of 5°C to 60°C. The fast temperature measurement  allows for optional thermally stabilized calibration.

Standard deviation depends on the material under analysis and will normally be about 0.5% for 10 readings from the same sample. The measuring time is less than one second. 

The on-board memory stores calibrations for up to 20 different products and a total of 250 measuring results. The unit features an analog output (4-20mA), a USB port and a battery charger for PC connection, a port for external temperature sensor connection (PT100 or IR), and a printer port for an optional TEWS heat transfer printer for thermal paper strips. 

The MW1100 series also comes with the TEWS Moisture View Light software. This enables you to manage your data on a standard PC.
