Installation Process of Temperature Measurement System

A standardized and scientific installation not only ensures stable system operation but also lays a solid foundation for subsequent grain safety assurance.

Wiring and Installation

Wiring of Temperature - Measuring Cables

Plan the routing of temperature - measuring cables precisely based on the shape and grain - storage scale of the silo. In large - scale grain silos, temperature - measuring cables need to be laid along the silo walls, grain - pile surfaces, and key internal locations to ensure comprehensive coverage. When wiring, follow the principles of neatness and standardization to avoid cable crossover and tangling. This facilitates later maintenance and inspection. Also, properly secure the cables to prevent displacement or damage due to mechanical operations during grain loading and unloading.

Installation of Sensors

The installation location of temperature sensors needs to be accurately selected. There is usually one every 2 meters or so inside the grain pile. Distribute them evenly in the horizontal and vertical directions of the grain pile to ensure all - around monitoring of grain - pile temperature changes. When installing, insert the sensor probe to an appropriate depth into the grain pile to ensure full contact with the grain and accurate measurement data.

For sensors installed on the silo roof or grain - pile surface, use appropriate fixing methods. For example, use expansion bolts to secure them to pre - embedded supports to prevent loosening or falling off due to grain movement or external factors.

Installation of Host and Sub - Machine

Installation of Host

The host should be installed in a dry, ventilated, and dust - free location in the grain silo monitoring room. Avoid direct sunlight and proximity to water sources. Ensure there is enough space around for heat dissipation and maintenance. The installation height should be convenient for operators to view the display screen and operate the buttons. Generally, it should be around 1.5 - 2 meters above the ground.

Installation of Sub - Machine

The installation location of the sub - machine needs to be reasonably determined based on the layout of the grain silo and the distribution of the temperature - measuring cables. It is usually installed in the middle of the grain silo or in an area convenient for connection with the temperature - measuring cables. The sub - machine should be installed in a moisture - proof, dust - proof, and corrosion - resistant cabinet. The cabinet should have good sealing performance to prevent external environmental factors from damaging the sub - machine.

The connection between the sub - machine and the temperature - measuring cables must be carried out strictly according to the line markings to ensure the accuracy and stability of signal transmission.
