Michell Instruments’ worldwide offices contact information. Calibration The recommended calibration interval for the Condumax II Transportable is one year, unless it is to be used in a mission-critical application or in a dirty or contaminated environment in which case the calibration interval should be reduced accordingly.
Condumax II Transportable Sampling System User’s Manual Abbreviations The following abbreviations are used in this manual: alternating current pressure unit (atmosphere) barg pressure unit (=100 kP or 0.987 atm) (gauge) °C degrees Celsius °F degrees Fahrenheit European Union HCdp hydrocarbon dew point...
Sampling System User’s Manual INTRODUCTION The Condumax II Transportable Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer Sampling System should be used in conjunction with the Condumax II Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer User’s Manual. The sampling system is in a custom designed, heavy duty, 316 stainless steel carry case.
The water dew point is measured at full pipeline pressure, to determine the highest water dew point for the gas sample being analyzed. The complete Condumax II Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer Sampling System can be located close to the gas sample take-off point in a potentially explosive environment - suitable for IEC Zone 1 or 2 hazardous area, NEC Class 1, Division 1, Groups B, C, D.
Condumax II Transportable INTRODUCTION Sampling System User’s Manual The gas handling components are as follows: Coalescing Filter (F1) Provides protection of the moisture sensor within the Condumax II instrument. Pressure Gauge (PG1) Provides indication of sample gas inlet pressure. Pressure Regulator (PR1) Allows the user to manually set the sample gas analysis pressure for hydrocarbon dew-point measurement.
Condumax II Transportable INSTALLATION Sampling System User’s Manual INSTALLATION The Sampling System should be transported in the horizontal position. Before operation follow the procedure below: Remove the lid of the case by undoing the 4 latch clips. Bring the sampling system into the vertical position, as indicated on the label on the side of the case.

(electrical) connections only have been disconnected. Before commencement of the start-up procedure ensure that the power connections to the Condumax II are fully isolated and, if necessary, observe the stipulated de-energization period of 45 minutes.
OPERATION Sampling System User’s Manual Sample Flow Start Up Procedure Unscrew and remove the Condumax II flameproof enclosure cover after first loosening the hex grub screw. The user interface/display assembly uses two ¼-turn bayonet style fasteners, (finger operated), to secure it - turn clockwise to lock, counter- clockwise to release.
The HCdp Pressure Regulator (PR1) is used to set the HCdp gas analysis pressure. Pressure is indicated on the main display of the Condumax II. It is normal practice for an analysis pressure of 27 barg (391 psig) to be set for...
Isolate the Sampling System from the power supply. If moving, transporting or storing the Condumax II, remove the sample hoses and refit the caps to the quick connect couplings. Note the orientation requirements in Section 2.1.
Condumax II Transportable OPERATION Sampling System User’s Manual Pressure Regulator Temperature Control This operation will expose electrical parts operating at high voltage. Therefore, power must be isolated from the supply for the Sampling System before making adjustments. DANGER Electric Shock Risk The heated pressure regulator contains an adjustment for the temperature control set-point (factory-set to approximately +24ºC (+75°F)).
Maintenance of the Condumax II Transportable Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer Sampling System should be carried out with reference to the Condumax II Hydrocarbon Dew-point Analyzer User’s Manual. Routine maintenance of the system is confined to filter element replacements.

Has the equipment been cleaned and decontaminated? NOT NECESSARY Michell Instruments will not accept instruments that have been exposed to toxins, radio-activity or bio-hazardous materials. For most applications involving solvents, acidic, basic, flammable or toxic gases a simple purge with dry gas (dew point <-30°C) over 24 hours should be sufficient to decontaminate the unit prior to return.
