Environmental Compliance Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive Panametrics Measurement & Control is an active participant in Europe’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) take-back initiative, directive 2012/19/EU. The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.
Unpacking and Inspection Upon receipt of the DewPro MMR30, examine the shipping carton for broken or open packing, distortion, or any other evidence of mishandling. If inspection indicates damage to the unit or any of its components, notify the carrier (within 15 days of delivery) and request an inspection.
1.2.1 Unit Description The DewPro MMR30 (shown in Figure 2 below) is a loop powered mid-range moisture transmitter. The transmitter includes a sensor element, a flow chamber, a weatherproof enclosure, microprocessor electronics, and assorted fittings, all in a compact assembly. In most cases, either the inlet or outlet port includes an orifice to regulate the flow.
4 to 20 mA Loop The DewPro MMR30 microprocessor controlled electronics operate with a DC voltage supply from 12 to 28 VDC. At the nominal 24 VDC supply, the maximum loop resistance is 600 Ohm. The signal is represented by the 4 to 20 mA loop current and is directly proportional to the dewpoint range in °C or °F.
Chapter 1. General System Information Dimensions Choose a mounting location which allows enough clearance for the use of tools. Figure 3 below shows installation dimensions for a standard DewPro, while Figure 4 below shows the dimensions for a DewPro with the optional display/user interface.
Chapter 2. Installation Guidelines Chapter 2. Installation Guidelines General Hints CAUTION! Before installation, please read all instructions. The DewPro is designed to be mounted in pressurized systems. Take the necessary precautions when mounting or removing the DewPro. ® • Mount the DewPro vertically whenever possible to prevent particles or condensation from entering the bypass.
Chapter 2. Installation Guidelines Method I - Orifice at Outlet Figure 5: DewPro Installation with Orifice at the Outlet 2.2.1 Pressure Dewpoint Refrigeration air dryers producing general instrument air are typically specified with a pressure dewpoint rating. The majority of dryers operate in a dewpoint range between +2°C to +10°C (+35°F to +50°F). A pressure of 7 to 8 bar (= 100 psig) is very common.
In order to prevent back diffusion of water vapor from the ambient air, five feet of exhaust tubing should be mounted to the tube fitting, or, better, a diffusion coil from Panametrics can be used. DewPro® MMR30 Installation & Operation Manual...
Chapter 2. Installation Guidelines Method III - No Flow Restriction 2.4.1 Low Pressure Closed Loop Figure 7: DewPro with No Flow Restriction Closed loop systems, with dew points >-15 °C, may operate at a low pressure. The air passing through the DewPro bypass is fed back to the main stream after a pressure drop in the main line.
Chapter 2. Installation Guidelines Method IV - Remote Installation In some cases there may not be enough room to install the DewPro directly to the process pipe. The tube connection at the inlet allows mounting the DewPro at a remote location, as shown in Figure 8 below. The functions of Methods I-III can be selected.

Chapter 3. Wiring Instructions Chapter 3. Wiring Instructions Wiring, General Guidelines Note: If the DewPro is equipped with an optional display/user interface, please refer to Chapter 4. CAUTION! The DewPro system contains electronic components that are susceptible to damage by static electricity.
Mounting in Environments with Severe Electrical Noise The DewPro MMR30 meets the EMC requirements of IEC 61326 for equipment used in industrial locations. The MMR30 passed all tests to the standards IEC 61000-4- to the performance criterion A. Test details appear in Chapter 6, Specifications.
Chapter 3. Wiring Instructions Electrical Connection Figure 13 below shows the DewPro wiring connections. Figure 13: DewPro Wiring Connections General Instructions Unscrew the cap on the unit. Loosen the cable gland located on the side of the unit. Feed the cable through the conduit opening. Note: Use a standard signal cable size.
