Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual Warnings The following general warning listed below is applicable to this instrument. It is repeated in the text in the appropriate locations. Where this hazard warning symbol appears in the following sections it is used to indicate areas where potentially hazardous operations need to be carried out.
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The Easidew PRO I.S. has been manufactured, tested and calibrated to the highest available standards and should arrive in perfect working order, ready for installation into a gas or liquid measurement application. For questions about the instrument or how to install and operate it, contact your local representative.
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Unpacking the Instrument On delivery, please check that all the following standard components are present in the packing box: • Easidew PRO I.S. Transmitter • Bonded seal • Certificate of calibration • 3 off cable crimps •...
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual INSTALLATION After installation into the flow stream, the Easidew PRO I.S. housing (provided it is not mounted onto a wall bracket) may be positioned at any angle, through approximately 330º of rotation, to allow for the cable gland positioning. To position the housing - loosen the large clamping nut sufficiently to allow free rotation of the sensor assembly within the transmitter body.
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual INSTALLATION 2.2.2 Transmitter Mounting - Sample Block (Optional) The following procedure must be carried out by a qualified installation engineer. To mount the transmitter into the sensor block (preferred method), proceed as follows, refer to Figure 2. 1.
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual INSTALLATION 2.2.3 Transmitter Mounting - Direct Pipeline Connection The transmitter may be directly mounted into a pipe or duct as shown in Figure 3. 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.
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual INSTALLATION 2.2.4 Transmitter Mounting - With Additional Process Connection Adapter The following procedure must be carried out by a qualified installation engineer. To mount the adapter into the transmitter, proceed as follows (see Figure 4) : 1.
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual INSTALLATION Preparation of the Sensor Cable The sensor cable is NOT supplied as standard. The crimps supplied must be fitted onto any cable installed into the connector in order to comply with Hazardous Area Certification of the product. When making a cable assembly it is important that the cable is correctly terminated (see below).
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual INSTALLATION Electrical Schematic NOTE: The screen/shield should be connected for maximum performance and to avoid interference. Always connect the 4...20 mA return signal to a suitable load (see Figure 7) before the power is applied. Without this connection, the transmitter may be damaged if allowed to operate for prolonged periods.
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual OPERATION OPERATION Measurement and Configuration The Easidew PRO I.S. can be configured to provide an output of 4...20 mA (2-wire connection) for the following: Dew point -110...+20°C (-166...+68°F) Moisture content in gas 0...3000 ppm Moisture content in liquids 0...3000 ppm The Easidew PRO I.S.
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual OPERATION Minimize Dead Space in Sample Lines: Dead space causes moisture entrapment points, increased system response times and measurement errors, as a result of the trapped moisture being released into the passing sample gas and causing an increase in partial vapor pressure. Deadspace Indication of Dead Space Figure 9...
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE Ensuring reliable and accurate moisture measurements requires the correct sampling techniques, and a basic understanding of how water vapor behaves. This section aims to explain the common mistakes and how to avoid them. Sampling Materials –...
Page 20
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE Temperature and Pressure effects As the temperature or pressure of the environment fluctuates, water molecules are adsorbed and desorbed from the internal surfaces of the sample tubing, causing small fluctuations in the measured dew point. Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to the surface of a material, creating a film.
Page 21
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE • Accentuate adsorption and desorption effects on the gas passing through the sampling system. • Allow pockets of wet gas to remain undisturbed in a complex sampling system, which will then gradually be released into the sample flow. •...
Easidew PRO I.S. User Manual MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Calibration Routine maintenance of the Easidew I.S. is confined to regular re-calibration by exposure of the transmitter to sample gases of known moisture content to ensure that the stated accuracy 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.
