SF72 Transmitter User’s Manual viii 97325 Issue 4, May 2018...
Michell representative (for Michell Instruments’ contact information go to www.michell.com). Features The SF72 dew-point transmitter is a continuous on line 4-20mA transmitter for the measurement of moisture content in air and other non-corrosive gases. The key features are: •...
SF72 Transmitter User’s Manual INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Unpacking the Instrument On delivery, please check that all the following standard components are in the packing box: • SF72 Transmitter • Bonded Seal • Certifi cate of Calibration • Connector (for sensor/cable) Unpack the dew-point transmitter box as follows: “...
The sensor cable is NOT supplied as standard. A cable can be obtained by contacting your local distributor or Michell Instruments (see www.michell.com for details). Cable connection to the SF72 transmitter is 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.
SF72 Transmitter User’s Manual INSTALLATION Cable Connection When installing the connector, and to ensure that full ingress protection is achieved, the securing screw (with the O-ring and washer) must be tightened to a minimum torque setting of 3.4 Nm (2.5 ft-lbs). The sensor cable used must be a minimum diameter of 4.6mm (0.2”).
The SF72 can be mounted either into a fl ow-through sensor sampling block (optional) or directly into a pipe or duct. It can be operated at pressures of up to 45 MPa (450 barg / 6500 psig) when fi...
INSTALLATION 2.5.1 Transmitter Mounting - Sample Block (Optional) (Applicable to the SF72 ⅝” -18 UNF and G½ BSP versions ONLY) The following procedure must be carried out by a qualifi ed installation engineer. To mount the transmitter into the sensor block (preferred method), proceed as follows, refer to Figure 7.
SF72 Transmitter User’s Manual INSTALLATION 2.5.2 Transmitter Mounting - Direct Pipeline Connection The transmitter may be directly mounted into a pipe or duct as shown in Figure 8. CAUTION: Do not mount the transmitter too close to the bottom of a bend where any condensate in the pipeline might collect and saturate the probe.
fi lter, as a minimum level of protection. For more demanding applications Michell Instruments offers a range of sampling systems (for more information contact www.michell.com).
Routine maintenance of the SF72 is confi ned to regular re-calibration by exposure of the SF72 to sample gases of known moisture content to ensure that the stated accuracy of the SF72 is maintained. Calibration services traceable to the UK National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are provided by Michell Instruments.
