Servomex controllers. The AquaXact controller also allows field span measurements and supports the field based sensor tip replacement process (Appendix E). The AquaXact 1688’s advanced design allows it to be housed in a small stainless steel enclosure behind the sensor probe making the transmitter and sensor a single integrated unit.
Unpacking Read this manual carefully BEFORE you remove the AquaXact 1688 Dew Point Transmitter from its box, or you attempt to install, commission or use the equipment. Examine the AquaXact package for damage or mishandling. If any damage is evident notify the carrier and request an inspection.
Safety The Servomex thin film Al sensor is designed and field proven to be highly reliable, rugged and maintenance free. However the user should be aware of the following precautions: Installation To avoid prolonged dry-down (when expecting to measure dew points drier than -65 ºC), do not expose the sensor to room air longer than 1 - 2...
1688 Dew Point Transmitter unless you are trained and know what you are doing. Follow the instructions in this section to safely install the AquaXact 1688 Dew Point Transmitter. Do not install the unit in places subject to extreme mechanical vibration or shock.

Contact your local Servomex sales office for more information on sampling system options It is generally recommended to measure at ambient pressure for the following reasons: ...
When the connector engages, secure it with the retention screw. The AquaXact 1688 will draw 4 mA to 20 mA from the power supply depending on the dew point being measured. The dew points corresponding to 4 mA and 20 mA are the full -100 °C to 20 °C range.
Output resolution is 0.1 °C dew point or ~0.25 µA whichever is greater. In the digital mode the AquaXact 1688 can be remotely operated, the dew point & temperature can be read. Alarms: The 4-20 mA signal or the digital output may be used by an external device to operate relays.
The AquaXact 1688 Dew Point Transmitter does not contain any user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to maintain or service the AquaXact 1688 Dew Point Transmitter unless you are trained and know what you are doing. The transmitter must be maintained by a factory-trained field service engineer.
Storage and disposal Storage All Servomex AquaXact 1688 Al sensors and replacement tips are shipped in glass storage bottles in order to maintain sensor integrity. The storage bottle is partially filled with a desiccant to keep the sensor dry and ready for use.
Dispose of the transmitter safely, and in accordance with all of your local and national safety and environmental requirements. Hint: If you send the equipment to Servomex or your local Servomex agent for disposal, it must be accompanied by a correctly completed decontamination certificate and a Return Authorization Number (RAN) (section 11.2).
If you do, you can damage the transmitter and invalidate any warranty. The standard spares available for the AquaXact are shown below. You can order these spares from Servomex or your Servomex agent. Part number Description AquaXact 1688 Sensor - Tip 220533 AquaXact Issue 1.0...
This warranty is effective from the date of delivery to the original purchaser. The equipment must be determined by Servomex to have been defective for the warranty to be valid.
Servomex will provide an estimate and wait for approval before commencing repairs. For your convenience a Return Authorization Request Form is provided in section 11.2. Fill out the form and sent it back to Servomex to obtain a RAN. 11.2 Return Authorization Request Servomex must approve and sign a Return Authorization Number (RAN) to any device being returned.

Note that the computation is such that the current is linear to the selected engineering units. Hence, ordering an AquaXact 1688 with the units set to ppm will cause the analog output to be linearly proportional to those units (approximately logarithmically proportional to dew point), refer to the graph in Appendix C.
If you do not have either a MonoExact DF310E or dedicated AquaXact 1688 controller you will need to return your transmitter to Servomex for recalibration or have a service engineer visit during which the sensor tip can be replaced.
