    SF82 Transmitter User’s Manual 2. INSTALLATION 2.1. Unpacking the Instrument On delivery, please check that all the following standard components are in the packing box: • SF82 Transmitter • Certificate of Calibration • Connector (for sensor/cable) for MiniDIN 43650 C version only It is recommended that all packaging is retained, in case products are returned for service or calibration.
  • Page 10: Preparation Of The Sensor Cable

    2.2. Preparation of the Sensor Cable The sensor cable is NOT supplied as standard. Cables can be obtained by contacting your local Michell Instruments representative (see www.michell.com for details). DIN 43650 Version Cable connections to the SF82 transmitter are made via the removable connector. Removing the central screw enables the connector terminal block to be removed from the outer housing by using a small screwdriver to prise it clear.

    (see figure 3) before the power is applied. Without this connection, the transmitter may be damaged if allowed to operate for prolonged periods. M12 5-Pin Version Cables with moulded M12 connectors are available from Michell Instruments in the following lengths: • 0.8 m • 2 m •...
  • Page 12: Cable Connection

    If longer cable runs are required, off the shelf 5-pin M12 cables can be connected between the SF82 transmitter and the cable provided by Michell Instruments. Note: The cable screen should only be connected to ground point at either the transmitter installation side or at the receiving equipment.

Digital Communications (M12 Version Only) Modbus RTU over RS485 communication is available on the SF82 M12, and can be used simultaneously with the 2-wire current output. Section 2.2 describes the electrical connections to the transmitter.
  • Page 14: Figure 8 Installation Location

    Figure 8 Installation Location If the transmitter is to be mounted directly into a pipe or duct, then consider that the installation point should not be too close to the bottom of a bend where oil or other condensate may collect. Michell Instruments...

    SF82 Transmitter User’s Manual Figure 9 Installation Location 2. Gas speed – if you are planning on installing the sensor in a duct, consider how fast the sample gas is moving through it. • If the gas speed is very low, or occasionally static, then the moisture content through the length (and width, if it is more than a few cm across) of the duct is unlikely to be uniform.
  • Page 16: Good Measuring Practice

    If the partial water vapour pressure exerted on the outside of a compressed air line is higher than on the inside, the atmospheric water vapour will naturally push through the porous medium causing water to migrate into the pressurised air line. This effect is called transpiration. Michell Instruments...
  • Page 17 SF82 Transmitter User’s Manual What this demonstrates is the dramatic effect that different tubing materials have on the humidity levels of a gas passed through them. Many materials contain moisture as part of their structure and when these are used as tubing for a dry gas the gas will absorb some of the moisture. Always avoid using organic materials (e.g.
  • Page 18 Over a long tubing run, water will inevitably migrate into any line, and the effects of adsorption and desorption will become more apparent. Michell Instruments...
  • Page 19: Transmitter Mounting

    SF82 Transmitter User’s Manual Dead volumes (areas which are not in a direct flow path) in sample lines, hold onto water molecules which are slowly released into the passing gas. This results in increased purge and response times, and wetter than expected readings. Hygroscopic materials in filters, valves (e.g. rubber from pressure regulators) or any other parts of the system can also trap moisture.
