1 Safety information If you use the gage as intended and observe the safety information, it will not present any danger. Please read and follow this Operator's Manual and observe the safety infor- mation. Also observe generally applicable safety and accident prevention reg- ulations.
Potentially explosive environment The gage and accessories are not suitable for use in potentially explosive environments. ► Operate the gage and accessories only outside of potentially explosive areas! Safety of the electrical equipment Only accessories approved or recommended by the manufacturer may be con- nected to the gage! USB cable Damaged USB cable...
2 Description The gage model MMS Inspection DPM is for continuously measuring air tem- perature and humidity to determine the dew point. You can log these climate values over a prolonged period and emit an optical warning if specification limits are exceeded. To measure the surface temperature continuously, you can connect a magnetic temperature probe to the gage.

Inspection DPM Description The gage models MMS Inspection DPM measure all relevant climatic variables such as rela- tive humidity, air and surface temperature and determine dew point and the temperature difference between dew point and surface temperature from these variables. All these vari- ables may be monitored as well as continuously logged by means of the Log function.

5 Settings for measurement In order to measure, you need to create and open a batch (measuring appli- cation file). In a batch, you define the measuring application and settings for the measurement procedure, e.g. specification limit and alarm monitoring for certain factors during the measurement.
Creating a new batch Each batch contains some presets for the measurement procedure. The preset selection is based on the requirements in a directive/standard or according to customer specifications. Before you start • The gage is switched on ( key) Creating a new batch 1.
Opening a batch Before you start • The gage is switched on ( key) Opening an existing batch 1. Main Menu () > Batches > OK 2. Select the desired batch from the list: 3. OK 4. MEASURE > OK Measurement view for the selected batch opens.
Measurement The gage model MMS Inspection DPM is for continuously measuring tempera- ture and humidity to determine the dew point and the difference between sur- face temperature and dew point. You can log all these climate factors over a prolonged period and emit an optical warning if specification limits are ex- ceeded.
Before you start • The gage is switched on ( key) • Temperature probe • The gage surface temperature probe is used: The protective cap has been removed • A magnetic surface temperature probe is used (example): The temperature probe is connected to the gage •...
During the measurement you can also: • Delete the measured readings: • View the measurement curve for the measurands in a line chart: Correctly holding the gage during the measurement • Keep your hand in the area of the orange gage housing at all times, this is marked by the green rectangle in the figure to the Batch 003...

What you can do next • Use the PHASCOPE PAINT app to export the data as follows: • CSV file, for measurement blocks, e.g., for import to MS Excel. Date and time of measurement block creation and measurement capture, single readings, tolerance specification limits, if in the selected appli- cation set, are always exported.
Information on the data import and further processing can be found in the corresponding program manuals. You can download the program PC-Datex for free from the Fischer-Home- page. Before you start •...

9 Glossary Batch A file for organizing and controlling the measurement data All the settings rel- evant to the measurement and the measured readings themselves are saved in a file. In the gage such a file is called a batch. In a batch, you define the mea- suring application and settings for the measurement procedure, e.g.
