    March 2008 Introduction The GE Sensing Moisture Monitor MMS-3 is a one- or two-channel analyzer designed to measure dissolved moisture concentration in gases and non-aqueous liquids, and dissolved oxygen concentration in gases. A microprocessor-based instrument, the MMS-3 combines hardware and software to make various measurements. The user connects the needed inputs (moisture probes, pressure transmitters, oxygen cells, etc.) to the back panel of the electronics unit using the appropriate...
  • Page 9 March 2008 Electronics Unit (cont.) The front panel of the electronics unit contains a 2-line x 20 character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show measurements, a 4 x 4 matrix keypad for entering data and operating the MMS-3, and four function keys.

  • Page 10: Probes

    The M Series and TF Series probes are very similar. Both probes use Probes GE aluminum oxide sensors to measure moisture, and thermistors to measure temperature (the thermistor is optional). The TF Series, however, has an optional built-in strain-gage-type pressure transducer.

  • Page 11: Pressure Transmitter

    March 2008 M Series and TF Moisture Probes (cont.) Figure 1-3: TF Series Probe Although the M and TF Series probes may be installed directly into the process line, they are usually inserted into a sample system. The sample system protects the probes and enables the user to easily remove the probes for calibrating, servicing, and cleaning.

  • Page 12: Delta F Oxygen Cell

    0 to 25% oxygen. An ultra-low-range sensor that covers 0-500 ppb and is sensitive to less than 5 ppb is also available. The MMS-3 can also accept oxygen inputs from other GE Sensing oxygen sensors using the auxiliary inputs. If your application has a high concentration of acid-forming components, GE Sensing supplies a STAB-EL option for the Delta F Cell.

  • Page 13: Cabling

    The M and TF Series Probes are connected to the analyzer with a Probes special GE Sensing shielded cable. Probes can be located up to 600 m (2000 ft) from the MMS-3 (consult GE Sensing for distances up to 1,200 m). To measure pressure with a TF Probe, the maximum cable length is approximately 152 m (500 ft).

    The MMS-3 automatically calibrates itself (Auto-Cal) at user- Calibration selectable intervals. Auto-Cal compensates for any drift in the electronics. GE Sensing recommends setting the Auto-Cal interval to eight hours (480 minutes). Set a smaller interval to Auto-Cal more frequently if the MMS-3 is exposed to extreme temperatures or weather conditions.
  • Page 41 March 2008 Using Automatic If you set the 90 minute Auto-Cal interval at 6:10 p.m., the next Calibration (cont.) Auto-Cal will occur at 7:30 p.m. (excluding the Auto-Cal performed when first leaving the Autocal Menu). If you enter a time interval that is not evenly divisible into 1440 minutes (1 day), the MMS-3 rounds up to the next acceptable interval.
