OPERATION
3 OPERATION
Operation is very simple, assuming the following installation techniques are adhered to:
Sampling Hints
Be Sure the Sample is Representative of the Gas Under Test:
The sample point should be as close to the critical measurement point as possible. Also,
never sample from the bottom of a pipe as entrained liquids may be drawn into the
sensing element.
Figure 15
Installation Location
Minimize Dead Space in Sample Lines:
Dead space causes moisture entrapment points, increased system response times and
measurement errors, as a result of the trapped moisture being released into the passing
sample gas and causing an increase in partial vapor pressure.
Deadspace
Figure 16
Indication of Dead Space
Remove Any Particulate Matter or Oil from the Gas Sample:
Particulate matter at high velocity can damage the sensing element and similarly, at
low velocity, they may ‘blind’ the sensing element and reduce its response speed. If
particulate, such as degraded desiccant, pipe scale or rust is present in the sample gas,
use an in-line lter, as a minimum level of protection. For more demanding applications
Kahn Instruments offers a range of sampling systems (for more information contact
www.kahn.com).
Use High Quality Sample Tube and Fittings:
Kahn Instruments recommends that, wherever possible, stainless steel tubing and
ttings should be used. This is particularly important at low dew points since other
materials have hygroscopic characteristics and adsorb moisture on the tube walls,
slowing down response and, in extreme circumstances, giving false readings. For
temporary applications, or where stainless steel tubing is not practical, use high quality
thick walled PTFE tubing.
Position Transmitter away from Heat Source:
It is recommended, as good instrumentation practice, that the transmitter is placed
away from any heat source to avoid adsorption/desorption.

MAINTENANCE
4 MAINTENANCE
Calibration
Routine maintenance of the Easidew I.S. is conned to regular re-calibration by exposure
of the transmitter to sample gases of known moisture content to insure that the stated
accuracy is maintained. Calibration services traceable to the US
National Institute of
Standards and Technology
(NIST) are provided by Kahn Instruments.
Kahn Instruments offers a variety of re-calibration and service exchange schemes to
suit specic needs. A Kahn representative can provide detailed, custom advice (refer to
www.kahn.com for details of Kahn Instruments’ contact information).
The following procedure must be carried out by a qualied
installation engineer.
Sensor Guard Replacement
The sensor is supplied with either a white HDPE or a stainless steel guard. The method
of replacement is the same for both types.
HDPE Guard
The HDPE guard provides <10μm protection to the dew-point sensor. It is designed
to show any contamination and the guard should be changed if the surface becomes
discolored.
When replacing the guard, care should be taken to handle the guard by the bottom part
only. Replacement guards (EA2-HDPE) - pack of 10 - can be obtained by contacting
Kahn Instruments (www.kahn.com) or your local distributor.
