Chapter 1. Installation Introduction Users typically install the moisture.IQ as part of a complex process system, which includes components such as filters, pumps, and pressure regulators. In such an environment, probes and other parts of the system may be subjected to environmental hazards, such as high temperature, pressure extremes, corrosive elements and mechanical vibrations.
Choosing an installation site You should have discussed environmental and • Locate the electronics unit away from high installation factors with a Panametrics applications temperatures, strong electrical transients, mechanical engineer or field sales person by the time you receive vibrations, corrosive atmospheres, and any other the meter.
Moisture probe considerations 1.5.3 Static or dynamic use The M-series and moisture image series probes consist of an aluminum oxide sensor mounted on a connector The sensor performs equally well in still air or where head. Standard probe mounts include a protective considerable flow occurs.
Sample system guidelines 1.6.2 Oxygen sample systems A sample system is required for oxygen measurement and, although not mandatory, is highly recommended for Oxygen sample systems are required and can be moisture measurement. The purpose of a sample system ordered from Panametrics for bench or wall mounting. is to condition or control a sample stream to within the You can also build your own sample system by using the specifications of a probe.
Mounting the hygrometer system Mounting the hygrometer system consists of mounting the electronics unit, the probes, and the sample systems. 1.7.1 Mounting the electronics unit 1.7.2 Mounting a sample system Use the outline and dimension drawings in the certification Panametrics sample systems are normally fastened to and safety statements at the end of this manual to mount a metal plate that has four mounting holes.
Installing the probes After you mount the sample system, you must insert the moisture probes into the sample cells. In addition, you must check, prepare, and connect any installed oxygen cells to the gas line. 1.8.1 Moisture probes Probe Panametrics moisture image series (MIS) and M-series Inlet moisture probes have 3/4 inch-16 straight threads, with an O-ring seal, to the secure probes into the sample system or...
