  • Page 13: Product Overview

    Chapter 2 – Product overview 2. Product overview DMP series probes are dew point and temperature measurement probes with a digital output (Modbusâ protocol). The probes are designed for demanding dew point measurement applications. The probes have a two-part structure, with measurement electronics contained in the probe body and sensor(s) in the probe head.

  • Page 16: Esd Protection

    2.6 ESD protection Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by delivering an electrostatic discharge when touching, removing or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.
  • Page 17: Canada Ices-3 / Nmb-3 Compliance Statement

    Chapter 2 – Product overview This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
  • Page 18: Functional Description

    During autocalibration the values of all available output parameters are locked (showing the latest valid value). DMP series probes perform autocalibration at 1-hour intervals, and whenever sensor purge is performed. When measuring very dry conditions, the probe performs autocalibration at shorter intervals.
  • Page 19: Sensor Purge

    (known as interval purge). If necessary, the purge settings can be configured with the Insight software, the Indigo80 handheld indicator, or using the Modbus protocol. However, Vaisala recommends leaving the sensor purge settings at their default values.
  • Page 20: Environmental Compensation

    DMP Series User Guide M212357EN-D 3.5 Environmental compensation Environmental compensations improve the measurement accuracy of the probe. You can configure the settings with the Insight software or the Indigo80 handheld indicator, or using the Modbus protocol. Pressure compensation The pressure of the measured environment affects the accuracy of humidity calculations, especially calculations that are dependent on pressure (for example, mixing ratio).
  • Page 21: Filtering Factor

    Chapter 3 – Functional description More information ‣ Configuring environment settings with Indigo80 handheld indicator (page 51) 3.6 Filtering factor The filtering factor determines how quickly the results of measurement cycles are reflected in values of output parameters. You can use the filtering factor to slow down the response time of the measurement, filtering out rapid changes and measurement noise.
  • Page 22: Installation

    DMP Series User Guide M212357EN-D 4. Installation When you choose the installation location for the probe, consider the following: • Verify the operating environment specification of the probe model. The probe head typically has a much wider operating temperature range than the probe body.

  • Page 26: Figure 6 Operating Range Of Dmp6 Probe Head

    DMP Series User Guide M212357EN-D Vaisala DRYCAPâ Dew Point Probe DMP6 is designed for humidity measurement in industrial applications with very high temperatures. High temperature tolerance is achieved using a passive cooling set that conducts heat away from the probe and reduces temperature to optimal range for the sensor.
  • Page 27: Installing Probe Head With Cooling Set Dmp246Cs

    Chapter 4 – Installation You can read diagnostic measurement data from the probe using Insight software (Diagnostics page) or Modbus protocol (diagnostic data registers) and use it to verify your installation: • Sensor temperature must never exceed +180 °C (+356 °F) even in exceptional process conditions.
