3 OPERATION
3.1 Measurement and Conguration
The Easidew PRO XP can be configured to provide an output of 4-20 mA (2-wire
connection) for the following:
Dew point -110 to +20°C (-166 to +68°Fdp)
Moisture content in gas 0 - 3000 ppm
Moisture content in liquids 0 - 3000 ppm
The Easidew PRO XP is factory configured either as °Cdp (default) or °Fdp (North
America). The Easidew PRO XP can be re-configured by the customer, using the
Easidew XP Communications Kit (XP-CK) and Easidew Application Software. The
Easidew Communications Kit can be purchased from Michell Instruments or a local
representative. For a free copy of the Application Software contact Michell Instruments’
UK office (see www.michell.com for details of Michell’s contact information).
For moisture content in gas, the calculation from the measured dew point is assumed to
be at atmospheric pressure. Alternatively, a fixed gas pressure needs to be programmed
into the Easidew PRO XP.
OPERATION
(and equivalent mg/m3, lbs/MMSCF)
V
W
For moisture content measurement in liquid, the Easidew PRO XP requires the saturation
constant of the liquid to be programmed into the transmitters, either at the factory or
by the customer using the Application Software.
The transmitter requires a 6-point look-up table for saturation constants up to 3000
ppmW over the temperature range 0 to +50°C (+32 to +122°F). Saturation constants
for 8 common liquids can be programmed into the Easidew PRO XP via the Application
Software. Alternatively, the user can program saturation constants manually. The
Application Software Help file provides detailed instructions on how to perform this task.
Easidew PRO XP EX2 (Display) Only
The display meter is simple in design and is a slave display to the measurement and
configuration of the main transmitter pcb. It can be scaled linearly equating to the
circulating 4-20 mA signal output from the main transmitter pcb.
In order to re-configure the display, the enclosure lid should be removed by unscrewing
it in an anti-clockwise direction.
Care should be taken when unscrewing and replacing the
enclosure lid as the threads form an important part of the Ex
compliance regulations and therefore must not be damaged.
The lid must be replaced after using the display meter and the
grub screw tightened.
A full explanation of the operation and configuration of the integral display meter is
detailed in Appendix D.
Michell Instruments 19
OPERATION
3.2 Sampling Hints
Operation is very simple, assuming the following installation techniques are adhered to:
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.
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.
Easidew PRO XP User’s Manual
Deadspace
Figure 19
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 filter, as a minimum level of protection. For more demanding applications
Michell Instruments offers a range of sampling systems (for more information contact
www.michell.com).
Use High Quality Sample Tube and Fittings:
Michell Instruments recommends that, wherever possible, stainless steel tubing and
fittings 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 and work within the maximum pressure rating of this tubing.
Indication of Dead Space
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 (particularly solar radiation
during daylight hours).

4 MAINTENANCE
The power to the enclosure must be turned o before any
work is carried out in the measurement system enclosure.
MAINTENANCE
Gas line connections to the measurement system must be
isolated and de-pressurized before any work commences.
4.1 Calibration
Routine maintenance of the Easidew PRO XP is confined to regular re-calibration by
exposure of the transmitter to sample gases of known moisture content to ensure that
the stated accuracy is maintained. Calibration services traceable to the UK
Physical Laboratory
(NIST) are provided by Michell Instruments.
Michell Instruments offers a re-calibration service to suit specific needs. A Michell
representative can provide detailed, custom advice (for Michell Instruments’ contact
information go to www.michell.com).
