Page 8: Sample System Guidelines
Chapter 1: Installation 1.2 Sample System Guidelines The HygroPro transmitter can be installed in a sample system or directly in the process line. However, GE recommends that the unit be installed in a sample system to protect the probe from potentially damaging components in the process stream. - Page 9 If possible, use stainless steel for all wetted parts. • The HygroPro probe should be oriented perpendicular to the sample system inlet. For dimensions and other sample system requirements see Mechanical Specifications on page 46.
