OPERATION

3.3.7 Mirror Condition and Peltier Power

Peltier Power indicates how much the heat pump is depressing in order to measure

the dew point. When the peltier power has a value of 100% and does not reduce over

an extended period of time, it means that the heat pump is at maximum depression.

In normal operation this indicates that the dew point is lower than the present

mirror temperature and therefore cannot be measured. Reducing the sensor ambient

temperature by use of additional cooling will increase the measurement range of the

instrument in applications where the peltier power >95%.

NOTE: Operating the sensor at the limits of its depression capability for

extended periods may cause premature wear to the heat pump.

Alongside the peltier power value is an indicator that shows the control stability. When

this indicator shows CNTRL, it indicates the system is controlling the mirror temperature

on the dew point. COOL indicates the system is depressing the heat pump in order to

form dew on the mirror surface. HEAT indicates a rapid increase in dew-point level,

whereby the system needs to increase the temperature of the mirror surface to read

this new dew-point value.

The Mirror Condition indicates the amount of signal received back from the mirror which

includes both the level of moisture and contamination on the mirror surface. In DCC

mode this display will only show the amount of mirror contamination and, if greater

than 80% after a DCC, will initiate an optics alarm condition.

NOTE: It is recommended to clean the mirror and reset the mirror condition

before an Optics fault occurs. Refer to Section 5 for further instructions.

Optisoft Application Software

The Opti-Soft application software is an interface to the Optidew Series that provides

a display of the measured and calculated parameters, system status, charting and

logging, statistical information and a facility to view and change the system parameters.

NOTE: If your Optidew Series instrument is fitted with a display,
Communication with the software is only possible when the unit is in

REMOTE

MODE

(see Section 3.2).
