ƒ

For sensor cleaning and filter cap replacement please see the “Cleaning Instructions” at  

www.epluse.com.

 

ƒ

Installation, electrical connection, maintenance and commissioning shall be performed by qualified 

personnel only.

 

ƒ

Use the EE371 only as intended and observe all technical specifications.

 

ƒ

Do not use EE371 in explosive atmosphere or for measurement of aggressive gases.

 

ƒ

Do not apply the nominal voltage to the data lines.

1.2.2  Intended Use

The EE371 is intended for the dew point temperature (Td) measurement of compressed air and other 

non-corrosive and non-flammable gases at pressures. The sensor can be installed in a pressurized 

system up to 20 bar (290 psi) and 100 bar (1 450 psi), respectively. 

The use of the EE371 in any other way than described in this manual bears a safety risk for people and 

the entire measurement installation and is therefore not allowed. 

The manufacturer cannot be hold responsible for damages as a result of incorrect handling, installation, 

and maintenance of the equipment.

In order to avoid damage to the instrument or health hazards, the measuring equipment must never be 

manipulated with tools that are not specifically described in this manual.

The sensor may only be utilized in accordance with the conditions defined in the technical data. 

Otherwise, inaccuracies of the measurement will occur and equipment failures cannot be ruled out.

The steps recommended by the manufacturer for installation, inspections and maintenance work must 

be observed and carried out for the safety of the user and for the functionality of the equipment.
