LPDT User’s Manual

iii

Examine the LPDT package for damage or mishan-
dling. If any damage is evident notify the carrier
and request an inspection.

Unpack the box, it should contain: The LPDT with
sensor in desiccant container, connectorized cable,
and this manual.

PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL IN WHOLE,
PRIOR TO INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE
SENSOR FROM ITS SHIPPING CONTAINER.

This manual is organized in three sections:
Section 1 is an overview of the LPDT.
Section 2 describes the sensor and sampling tech-
niques.
Section 3 describes the instrument’s electrical,
mechanical, and user interfaces.

This manual is intended for those already familiar
with the installation, use and maintenance of ana-
lytical or process instrumentation.

Those acquainted with other Xentaur dewpoint
measurement products such as the XDT or the
XPDM, will benefit from the commonality of the
user interface.
