CAUTION!
If the HygroPro will be installed directly
into the process line, consult Panametrics
for proper installation instructions and
precautions before proceeding.

1. Make sure the sintered or stainless-steel shield is in
place over the sensor. This shield protects the aluminum
oxide sensor from damage during operation.
2. Using the integral 3/4-16 straight male thread, screw the
probe end of the transmitter into the process or sample
system fitting. Make sure not to damage the threads.
Note:
A 3/4-16 to G 1/2 thread adapter is available from
Panametrics.
3. Using a 1-1/8” wrench on the probe hex nut, tighten the
probe securely into the process or sample system fitting.
CAUTION!
Do not apply torque to the transmitter
electronic module to tighten the unit into its
fitting.
Note:
If there is insufficient space to rotate the
HygroPro
during installation, remove the
replaceable transducer
element (RTE)
from the transmitter, install it in the fitting,
then re-install the the transmitter onto the RTE.
