Product Overview The 8072A dew point monitor is used to check the output dew point of a desiccant dryer. The monitor has a built-in vacuum pump which draws sample air to be measured and provides real-time indication of dew point on an LED display. Visual and audible alarm indicators warn when high dew points are detected.

4-20mA and 0-5V output for remote monitoring or data logging. Mates with standard 3 pin M8 female cable. NOTE: The 8072A is shipped with a desiccant pack which can be discarded when the unit is unpacked. The desiccant pack is different than the Desiccant Tube.
CAUTION: The carrying case is not heat resistant. It may melt or distort if left resting on the hot parts of a heated dryer. If a surface is too hot to touch, it is too hot for the 8072A! Sample Tubing Connection To enable testing of your process air, you must provide fittings in your drying system that will accept the 8072A’s 3/16”...
Power Connection The 8072A is supplied with a 6 foot line cord for connection to power. Always connect the monitor to the correct supply voltage. Do not attempt to replace the line cord with a different plug type to accommodate other supply voltages.
A constantly high reading on the 8072A may indicate a malfunctioning dryer or one that is overloaded by damp material in the hopper. If you suspect that the 8072A is giving an incorrect high reading, perform the Dry-Down Test described in the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
Alternatively, most wearable parts can be replaced by the user if you are not taking advantage of the calibration service. To access the serviceable parts inside the monitor, the 8072A panel must be removed from the carrying case. Monitor Disassembly and Assembly WARNING: Unplug the 8072A from power before disassembly.
