Measuring devices are sensitive and must be handled with care:
Avoid shocks, impacts and vibrations.
Prior to installation, check that there is no condensation, oil or dirt at the measuring
point! Should this be the case, repair and dry out the system!
The measuring system is not suitable for use with compressed air with a high oil
content, as directly covering the sensor with a film of oil impairs its response, blocks
the pores of the filter and damages the filter choke.
As a rule of thumb: If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
Do not attempt to experiment with the device as you may cause faults and damage
to occur!
Prior to delivery, the pressure dew-point sensor is adjusted and tested by means of a
complex calibration procedure involving several temperatures and humidity points. It is not
possible for the end user to calibrate the device.
Please observe the permissible temperature range for use. Excessive temperatures reduce
the measuring accuracy. The probe will be damaged if the temperature limit is exceeded.
The specified data, in particular the desired measuring accuracy, are valid at a temperature
of 20°C. In principle, the lower the temperature at the sensor, the more accurate the
measurement result. If possible, measurements should be taken in a cool area, or the gas
should be cooled to ambient temperature.
With proper use, the probe will have a lifespan of many years. Nevertheless, to prevent
errors, it is important that the sensor be calibrated once a year, according to the
manufacturer's specifications. This particularly applies when the probe is used in critical
applications within the lower dew-point measuring range.
