1. Introduction
1.1 General
The IM series infrared multiple-constituents analyzer [Mirror type moisture meter/detector unit
IRMA1100/IRMA1200/IRMA1300] is a reflective type non-contact on-line moisture meter using the
principles of infrared absorption by moisture. This moisture meter is configured with a detector unit, an
operator interface/display unit and accessories.
The detector unit is provided with 99 built-in calibration curves and outputs a linear analog signal
proportional to moisture content of a sampled material.
As the stand alone detector unit provides function keys, a data display and a digital signal for
communication, it can be operated on its own or with a personal computer.
The operator interface/display unit can communicate with up to nine (9) detector units, and displays the
moisture content value digitally as well as accessing to various parameters of the detector unit.
Accessories including cables, connecting the detector unit to the operator interface/display unit or to the
power unit, the air-purge hood for shielding all extraneous light and for air-purging to keep the measuring
window and the sight path clean, and the output checker plate for your own calibration are available.
This manual describes about the detector unit and accessories.
The instruction manual is separately available for the operator interface/display unit.

6. Operation
6.1 Confirmation before operation
Check the following two points before turning on the power.
1) Have the dipswitches been set? (Refer to [3.1 Setting dipswitches].)
2) Are all of connections correct? (Refer to [4. Connections])
6.2 Setting detector unit numbers
Detector unit numbers are for identifying each detector unit in the multiple-detector connections. Up
to nine (9) detector units can be connected. Set the detector unit numbers before connecting to the
operator interface/display unit.
Reference The default number of this detector unit at shipment is “1”.
When this detector unit is used with a number other than 1, set the detector unit
number by following procedure.
The output characteristics of this detector unit depend upon measuring objects. It may also change according to
the process conditions or the measuring conditions of samples.
Accordingly, for accurate measurements, it is required to perform beforehand sample tests of each object and
obtain a relationship (This is called as the calibration curve.) between the moisture content (%H2O) obtained by a
drying method or other measuring methods and the absorbance “x” measured by this detector unit.
Reference The absorbance “x” is the ratio of the absorbed amount of the light having the wavelength S
of 1.43, 1.94 or 3µm, which is absorbed in a measuring object, to that of the light having
the reference wavelength R not absorbed.
Reference This paragraph describes the setting method of calibration curve data, assuming that
calibration curves have been already created. When the calibration curves have not been
created yet, refer to [7. Procedure for creating calibration curves].

Data name Function
(1) Calibration curve No. An optional number from 1 to 99 can be designated as the calibration curve.
Ordinary It is designated sequentially from “1”.
(2) Polynomial oefficient Assume that the calibration curve is represented by the third-degree or
“a0 to a3” lower-degree polynomial of y = a3x3 + a2x2 + a1x + a0, where, “y” is the moisture
content (%H2O) and “x” is the absorbance (“CH0” data of this detector unit).
(3) Correction xpression These coefficients are provided for the quadratic expression correction (zero and
coefficient “b0 to b2” span correction) with reference to the moisture content “y”. Assuming that the
moisture content after the correction be “Y”, we obtain “Y = b2y2+b1y + bo”.
(4) Low limit moisture These specify moisture contents at a low limit output and a high limit output on
output /High limit the analog output scaling. The output is scaled to 4mA at the low limit moisture
moisture output content and 20mA at the high limit moisture content.
(5) Low limit moisture The low limit alarm is activated when the measured value is lower than the low
alarm /High limit limit alarm setpoint of moisture content and the high limit alarm is activated
moisture alarm when the measured value is higher than the high limit alarm setpoint of moisture
content. Use the operator interface/display unit when the alarm outputs are required.
(6) Preset moisture By turning on the preset output by key operations or through communications,
the moisture content being set as a preset value is displayed and outputted,
regardless of the measured value.
(7) Water absorbance Decide the water absorbance to compute the surface water ratio for measuring
the moisture content of sands, etc. [This setting is only enable when the surface
water ratio computation shown in (11) of “6.4.1 Setting data” is set to ON.]
The relation between the measured moisture content (%: mass basis moisture
content), the surface water ratio (%) and the water absorbance (%) is;
y Surface water ratio = (Moisture content – Water absorbance) / (1 + (Water
absorbance / 100)

(3) When the sample temperature Ts is lower than the sample temperature of the first calibration
curve number in the group or when it is higher than the sample temperature of the last
calibration curve number, the following error display appears.
However, the calibration curve, of which sample temperature is set as 999.9, is ignored.
* For the sample temperature lower than the sample temperature of the first calibration curve
number in the group ….. Er15 (Sample temperature too low)
* For the sample temperature higher than the sample temperature of the last calibration curve number
