Model 1500 Dew Point Monitor 3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The front panel of the Model 1500 Battery Powered DPM consists of an LED Display and two push-buttons. 1.) MABC- Manual Automatic Balance Cycle 2.) DISPLAY “SCAN”- Allows viewing of all Parameters or selection of desired measurement.
-Initiate an MABC Cycle. -Check the sample system for proper flow. -Check for loose connections or components on the printed circuit board and sensor. If the condition cannot be resolved with these checks, contact Edgetech Instruments Inc. for service. 3.2 MABC Button Pressing the MABC Button (Manual Automatic Balance Cycle) at any time will initiate an ABC Cycle.
Model 1500 Dew Point Monitor 4.0 SETUP 4.1 Alarm Set Point (Figure 4.1) The alarm set point temperature is set by DIP switch S2 as an integer. The switch setting represents an eight bit binary number in degrees C with position 8 as the least significant bit (LSB) and position 2 as the most significant bit (MSB).

Model 1500 Dew Point Monitor 4.2 ABC Interval The ABC Interval is the time between the automatic initiation of ABC Cycles. In typical applications, an interval of 24 hours is recommended and set at the factory. However, in cases where ambient conditions are more variable, or the sample gas is higher in contaminants, a shorter interval may be required.
Model 1500 Dew Point Monitor 5.0 MAINTENANCE 5.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE To ensure the maximum in accurate and reliable operation of any optical chilled mirror system, a periodic maintenance program should be established. 5.2 MIRROR CLEANING SCHEDULE Over time, particulates and other matter present in the sample gas and not captured by filters, build up on the mirror.
