INSTALLATION
x
The direct installation of the sensor
is only allowed in the unpressurized state
of the system
x
• The sensor must be tightened with a
torque of 25 - 30 Nm.
x
Tightness of the connection must be checked and ensured.
x
It is not permitted to use a sealing ring with a NPT 1/2“ thread. Appropriate
PTFE sealing tape or sealant should be used instead
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 GmbH.
