Please adhere to the steps described. For safety reasons, please only use spare parts from Testo. Any additional work should only be carried out by authorised trained personnel. Otherwise Testo does not accept responsibility for the functioning of the instrument following maintenance and for the validity of approvals. Dispose of carefully: Once its service life has come to an end, return the instrument to us and we will dispose of it.
2. Intended use The instrument is intended for use in the following applications: The testo 6740 instrument is a pressure dew point transmitter for measuring trace humidity. It is used in the following areas: - Monitoring trace humidity in compressed air systems and gas networks (e.g.
The instruments with the article numbers 0555.6743 and 0555.6744 have a keypad and a display to input and read off settings (See 5. Menu guide, p. 16). All of the instruments of Type testo 6740 can be parameterised with the aid of the 0554.3305 scaling adapter.
3. Product description 3.3 Settings 3.3 Settings The parameters in the instrument are assigned the following values in the factory (default values): Parameter Atmospheric dew point Relative humidity Temperature Absolute humidity Pressure dew point Unit °Ctp °Ftp °CtA °FtA %rF, %rh, %Hr °C °F mg/m...
Without measurement chamber - Process temperatures 0 to 50°C and cooling coil - It is possible to attach sensor directly in process - No quick assembly/dismantling of testo 6740 required and flow on sensor is sufficient (1l/min) With measurement chamber - Process temperatures 0 to 50°C...

7. Care and Maintenance 7. Care and Maintenance Filter, measurement chamber, cooling coil If process conditions are oily or dusty, the stainless steel sintered filter should be cleaned and also the measurement chamber and cooling coil should be cleaned if used. Unscrew/remove filter, measurement chamber and cooling coil, purge with compressed air or place in an ultrasonic bath.
