1 Overview

The ROTRONIC low-dewpoint probe is designed to measure trace moisture in the range of

-70 .. 85° C (-94 .. 185 °F)T temperature sensor, and the high-precision AirChip4000 measurement electronics for evaluation and processing of the sensor data. The probe is designed for dewpoint/frostpoint measurements in compressed-air systems. The robust stainless-steel housing and the stainless-steel sinter filter make the probe suitable for industrial applications. The output signals from the low-dewpoint probe are exclusively digital. Suitable devices for making the dewpoint/frostpoint and temperature measurements available as analog signals are the ROTRONIC measurement converters in the HF5, HF8 and PF4 series, as well as the ROTRONIC HP22 and HP23 hand-held meters. Alternatively, the probe can be connected directly to a PC USB port, and read out using MS Windows HW4 software.

The low-dewpoint probe has the following features:

• Very high precision measure m ent of dew point, fro stpo int and temper atur e

• Pressure-resistant to 100 bar

• Absolute repeatability guaranteed

• The latest AirChip4000 measurement technology

• HYGROMER® LDP-1 sensor

• Software-based sensor alarm function

• Adjustment by customer possible

• 1-point temeparture calibration / adjustment

• Multi-point dew point calibration / adjustment

The units in the LDP series can be kept up to date with regard to improvements in functionality through simple update of the firmware.

. The dew point probes are based on a capacitive trace moisture sensor, a Pt1000

1.1 Applicability

This manual applies to LDP series probes with firmware vers ion V1.5. T he low-order dig it of the fir mware versio n stands for minor changes, e.g. correction of errors which do not influence the main functionality of the device.

1.2 Background Information on the Principle of Measurement

The presence of liquid water is undesirable in many ind ustr ial gase s (e.g. compressed air). I t can lea d to rust in the piping and functional elements, rupture of lubricant films, electrochemical formation of elements, microbial contamination, and icing , with the associated da mage to the system. I f the dewpoint of the pr ocess gas is known, a suitable drying pro ce ss ca n be u sed to lower its (pressure) dewpoint to a point at which the formation of liquid water (condensation) is avoided. By and large, it can be said that the lower the temperature and humidity of a gas is, the lower its pressure dewpoint will be. Determining this kind of low dewpoint, especially at high gas pressure, makes considerable demands on the pressur e res i stan ce, chemical resistance, and resolution of the humidity probe, and on the processor power necessary for the electronics to convert temperature and gas humidity to the associated low-dewpoint temperature. That is why the latest AirChip4000 technology is used in the ROTRONIC low-dewpoint probe. It is based on an enhancement and power boost to the market-proven, high-precision AirChip3000 technology. Humidity measurement is effected by the new, capacitive HYGROMER temperature sensor, it all ows the dewpoint or fro stpoint to be determined precis ely. The AirChip40 00 technology can ascertain any of over 8,00 0 indiv id ual p oint s, and guarantees a high degree of repea tability. The increased performance is vital for dewpoint applications, because the slightest variations in the environmental conditions of the delicate trace moisture climate are very important for the results of measurement. The firmware of the low-dewpoint probe also has an integrated low-pass filter to effectively reduc e sig nal-noise interference. The result is a low-dewpoint measurement precision of ±2 K T

-50 .. 20 °C T Familiar functions of the AirChip3000 technology, such as calibration, adjustment, and compatibility with ROTRONIC measurement tra nsducers and hand-held m eters, are also avail able i n the AirC hip40 00 te chnology of the LDP probe. The dewpoint measurement and its equalization time depend on many factors. ROTRONIC therefore provides a measurement chamber ( see figures 2, 4, 8 and 9) with a pre-set airflow of 1 l itre per minute at 8 b ar pressure. In the measurement ch am ber, the probe experiences co nst an t airf low, which allows very fas t , pr e cis e d ewpoint measurement. The equalization time of the measurement value may vary widely between applications. It depends on the flow velocity in the mea sure men t cha mber, the absolute pressure in the m easurement line, the dewpoint of the surroundings, and the surface structure of the measurement line.

3.1 Power Supply

For full functionality, the LDP probe requires a power supply at 3.3 .. 5 VDC (1.5 mA).

3.2 Measured Parameter s

The ROTRONIC LDP probe calculates the dewpoint/frostpoint from the humidity measurements taken by the HYGROMER® LDP-1 dewpoint sensor, and temperature measurements from a Pt1000 temperature sensor. The values for dewpoint, frostpoint and temperature are transmitted in the form of a digital signal.

3.3 UART Interface

The LDP probe has a serial digital UART interface (UART: Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter), which is compatible to the HF5, HF8, and PF4 measurement transducers, HP22 and HP23 hand-held meters, and the AC3001 service cable (probe UART to PC U SB). With the HW4 softw are (Professional Vers ion) installed on the PC, the following functions are available:

• Recording and display of current measur ed and calcul at e d values;

• Configuration of the probe;

• Calibration and adjustment of the probe.

Connect the probe to the PC as follows:

- Connect the LDP probe to a USB port of an MS Windows PC via AC3001 (UART-to-USB adapter).

- Use HW4 to search for and include the unit:

There is no static system without any changes. Syst em s are always in motion and thi s m ay must be mon itored. In this case the threshold monitoring can be used when changes of the value are important even below

-70 °C T system. After reaching -70 °C Td the value jumps back to -66 °C Td and goes further down until the system is stable.

. The following graph shows the drying process of a probe after connecting it to a compressed air

In this case a compressed air system is monitored which is slightly below -70 °C Td. With the threshold monitoring activated, variations (e.g.: opening of valves, extensive use of air, leakage, etc.) in the system can still be seen.

5 Mechanical Installa t ion

5.1 Choice of Measurement Point

There are several points to note when choosing the point at which to measure the dewpoint/frostpoint.

5.1.1 Positioning the probe and the measurement chamber

The probe can be screwed dir ectly into a lin e (max. 100 bar), or plugged into a compressed-air connect ion (max. 16 bar) with a measurement chamber (see figure 9). IMPORTANT: The measurement chamber must not be c onnecte d dir ectly to the compres sed air supply withou t a properly screwed-in probe, and the probe must not be removed from the measurement chamber when the chamber is still under pressure.

It is recommended that you position the probe close to the application to be monitored. Long pipelines from the measurement chamber to the main line that is to be monitored make measurement unnecessarily difficult with regard to amplitude and r eaction ti me. In order to prevent any drop in environ mental humidi ty and pre ssure fro m affecting the measuremen ts, there must be no leaks (ex cept for t he o utle t v alv e of the measurement chamber) .

Figure 9: POM measurement chamber LDP-FCPB1 with compressed-air connection (left), probe insertion thread (right), and fixed valve (top).

5.1.2 Positioning of probe with regard to temperature specifications

Care must be taken that the temperature specifications of the probe are not exceeded by the medium being measured. If the temperature is too high, the medium must be cooled down. To avoid condensation, the dewpoint must, however, be lower than the ambient temperature.

5.1.3 Filter soiling

Oil and dust particles in the gas line affect the measurement precision, reaction time and lifetime of the probe. The probe’s filter cannot filter out particles less than 50 µm in diameter. In this case, it is advisable to install a more effective external filter upstream. The drop in pressure or reduction in flow volume that this causes can impair the measurement precision and reaction time. However, the measurement in its steady state would remain stable over time, even in this setup.

5.1.4 Pressure at the probe head

The maximum permanent pressure for the probe is 100 bar. Please note that the complete measurement chamber with its quick-action coupling and fixed valve is only approved for up to 16 bar.

5.2 Installation of the Probe

As soon as the measurement point has been determined, the probe can be installed as follows:

1. Push the sealing ring over the filter onto the G1/2” threaded shaft. Use a new sealing ring for every new installation of the probe.

2. Remove the red protective cap. Do not touch the probe filter with your bare hands.

3. First, screw the probe finger-tight into a G1/2” thread.

4. Tighten the probe with a torque wrench set to 25 Nm. Important: The probe must be tightened using only its 27 mm hex section.

5. The probe can be attached only to a transmitter, a hand-held meter or a PC.

- Connection to a PC: The plug of the probe is connected to a PC via the AC3001 service cable.

- Connection to a transmitter (HF5, HF8 or PF4): The plug of the probe is attached directly to the

probe input on the transmitter.

- Connection to a hand-held meter (HP22, HP23): The plug of the probe is attached directly to the

probe input on the hand-held meter.

6 Maintenance

This chapter describes calibration, adjustment, validation and filter changes as well as the tools necessary for this, e.g. service cable.

6.1 Service Cable

An AC3001 service cable can be used for m aintenance and calibr ation. T he service cable has an int ernal pow er supply of 3.3 VDC. Alternatively, the connection to the PC can be made via an HF5, HF8 or PF4 transmitter, or an HP22/HP23 hand-held meter.

6.2 Calibration

Both the Pt1000-RTD temperature sens or used in the probe and the correspo nding electr onics are ver y stable and do not normally need to be calibrated after initial factory calibration. The long-term stability of the

the calibration of the probe s h ould be che ck ed ev ery 12 mo nt hs. A ppl ic atio ns in w hich t he probe is exposed to considerable contamination could require more frequent checks.

IMPORTANT:

Customers can carry out the adjustments themselves, using the HW4 software.

• Start the HW4 software and look for the connected LDP probe (HW4 Menu > Devices and Groups >

• The device tree of the LDP probe lists all calibration and adjustment functions.

• At least 2 calibration points must be recorded, if adjustments are to be made at a later date.

• The adjustment points must be recorded in the sequence from dry to moist; the lowest calibration point

6.2.1 Dewpoint and temperature adjustment

The probe should be calibrated at least once a year, and adjusted if necessary. ROTRONIC strongly advises that you return the probe to t he factory for this. If adjustment on site i s necessary , the probe s hould be readj usted at the following dewpoint values.

• -60 °C Td (±5 °C Td)

• -10 °C Td (±5 °C Td)

You can add further point s as necess ary. It is advi sable to ad just the pr obe in the ord er fro m dr y dew point value to humid dewpoint valu e. E n su re t ha t th e probe is in steady st ate a t each dewpoint, i.e. t he mea sur ed dewpoint value no longer changes. The equipment needed for adjustment (dewpoint reference, low dewpoint generator) has a decisive influence on the measuring accuracy of the probe. Calibration/adjustment can be performed with the HW4 software. Should it be necessary to adjust the LDP probe, this can be done with the HW4 software. You will find further instructions in the HW4 software manual

E-M-HW4v3-LDP-001 for the LDP probe.

6.3 Probe

It is recommended to carry out maint enanc e on the pr obe at least once a y ear (or , in the case of m easure ment s in oil-polluted air, every 3 mont hs). T o do t his, rem ove the f ilte r and s ubmit i t to a vi sual in spectio n. Soi led part s, such as measurement chamber, fixed valve or filter, must be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath and alcohol, or exchanged. If the sensor is soiled, the probe must be returned to the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT: The sensor filter must be removed very carefully, because touching the trace moisture sensor can destroy it! The filter should not be touched with bare hands. Any improper maintenance can lead to a reduction in the precision of measurements.

7 Firmware Update

The LDP probe firmware can be updated with the HW4 software. Firmware updates are available for downloading on the ROTRONIC website. Updating the firmware requires that the probe be connected via an AC3001 service cable to a PC with HW4 software installed on it.

IMPORTANT:

There must be a permanent connection to the computer and a stable power supply during the update process.

Procedure:

• Connect the probe to the service cable, or to an HF5, HF8, PF4, HP22 or HP23.

Remark:

As of 2014, the service cables work with a standard USB driver. Older service cables need a ROTRONIC USB driver, which is installed on the PC together with the HW4 software. For detailed information on the ROTRONIC USB driver, see the manual E-M-HW4v3-Main.

• Download the latest LDP probe firmware to your PC from the ROTRONIC website.

• Launch the HW4 software on the PC and search for the LDP probe.
