Chapter 1. Features and Capabilities

1.1 Introduction

The

Moisture Target Series 6

(

MTS6

) is a microprocessor-based,

single-channel hygrometer that measures moisture content in gases. It is
intended for

Original Equipment Manufacturer

(

OEM

) applications, and is

suitable for a wide range of process conditions that require real-time
moisture measurement.

The

MTS6

accepts any calibration range provided with GE probes (see

Chapter 5,

Specifications

for more information). It comes equipped with

two standard alarm relays, one fault alarm relay, and a single analog output.
It also has onboard data logging capability using an micro SD card.

1.2 Electronics Unit

The

MTS6

displays measurement data on a liquid crystal display (

LCD

). You

can program your unit and enter probe information using the keys on the
front panel (see Figure 1). The

MTS6

accepts line voltages of a universal

power supply from 100 to 240 VAC, or 24 VDC, depending on what is
ordered.
