Dear customer, thank you very much for deciding in favor of the DP 500. Please read this installation and operation manual carefully before mounting and initiating the device and follow our advice. A riskless operation and a correct functioning of the DP 500 are only guaranteed in case of careful observation of the described instructions and notes...
Safety instructions Please attend to all notes indicated in this instruction manual. It contains essential information which has to be followed during installation, operation and maintenance. Therefore this instruction manual has to be read categorically by the technician as well as by the responsible user/qualified personnel before installation, initiation and maintenance.
Application area The new instruments DP 500 are the ideal portable service instruments for dew point measurement for all types of driers down to -80°Ctd dew point The 3.5” graphic display with touch screen makes the operation very easy.. The graphic indication of colored measuring curves is unique. Ideal for measurement of the current dew point and for graphic indication of the dew point curve/the switching behavior of the drier over a longer period of time.
Installation and measurements Measurement with measuring chamber, connection via plug nipple 1. Preparation of the measuring point Let compressed air flow off at the sampling point before measurement in order to remove condensate and particles. This avoids a soiling of DP 500 and the measuring chamber.
Dew point measuring at synthetic granules - dries Synthetic granules-dries usually work with a slight positive pressure in the millibar range. Usein this application,witha slight excess pressure, the Air input measuring chamber forsynthetic granules dryer. Since the air temperature in the synthetic granules dryer is also very high, the air supply from the synthetic granules...

With the DP 500 the pressure dew point in the pressure line is measured automatically. The pressure dew point is always related to the pressure in the line. A pressure input is not necessary, because the measuring principle measures independent of pressure. The DP 500 is able simultaneously to the pressure dew point alsocalculate the atmospheric dew point or dew point at reduced pressure.
