Installation

FA 550 V1.00
Please note: CS recommends the indirect installation with measuring chamber
Advantage
: Easy mounting and dismounting of the probe without interruption of the line.
Quick response time due to quick coupling. Optimum sensor protection.
Indirectly in the compressed air system
Connect probe with measuring chamber to the
compressed air pipe by means of a quick coupling. In
case of compressed air containing oil and dirt
particles a pre-filter should be installed in front of the
measuring chamber. Compressed air flows
continuously (at 7 bar approx. 1 l/min expanded) in
the capillary pipe of the measuring chamber. The
reaction times for the humidity reading are shorter
than in case of a direct mounting.
Directly in the compressed air system
Screw in probe with G 1/2" thread pressure-tight in
the center or at the top of the compressed air pipe.
Take care that measurement is effected close to the
compressed air flow. U-bend pipes or non-flowing
compressed air, result in very slow reaction times for
the moisture reading.
Measurable gases
In general, humidity can be measured in all non-
corrosive gases. In case of measurements in
corrosive gases please consult CS Instruments
