EST Series Grain Temperature Monitoring System

Introduction – EST Series Grain Temperature Monitoring System

The EST Series Grain Temperature Monitoring System is designed specifically to support reliable grain quality management in long-term storage environments. Using digital sensing technology, the system provides accurate, real-time multipoint temperature monitoring to help detect early signs of spoilage, insect activity, mold growth, or smoldering inside grain silos. This ensures operators can maintain product quality and prevent costly losses.

At the core of the system are the EST110 temperature-only sensor cable and the EST120 temperature & level monitoring transmitter, both engineered for simplified installation through 1-wire digital temperature sensors and streamlined wiring. Unlike traditional thermocouple-based systems, the EST Series reduces complexity and significantly lowers installation costs.

The system integrates seamlessly using HubLink devices and RS485 MODBUS communication, allowing multiple cables to be connected and monitored through the MMS-TLA PC software. This digital architecture supports both wired and wireless setups and provides operators with easy-to-use remote monitoring capabilities.

Dubai Sensor supports this technology to meet industrial agricultural needs, including applications across the UAE and broader MENA region where efficient grain storage and temperature stability are critical due to climatic conditions.

Installation, Commissioning & Maintenance

The EST Series is designed for quick and uncomplicated installation using digital 1-wire technology. The EST110 cable requires only a simple two-wire connection regardless of the number of sensors, while the EST120 uses a two-wire RS485 MODBUS interface. HubLink devices further simplify wiring by combining multiple cables into a single communication line.

Commissioning involves connecting cables through HubLink, linking the RS485 output to the PC running MMS-TLA software, and configuring sensor points. The system supports both wired and wireless layouts, enabling flexible installation in silos of varying sizes.

Maintenance is minimal due to the durable steel cable design, which withstands grain impact during filling and discharge. Regular monitoring via the software ensures operators can proactively manage temperature changes, maintaining long-term grain quality.
