This chapter introduces the features, advantages, and the product
nomenclature of the Vaisala DRYCAP® Dewpoint and Temperature
Transmitter DMT340 Series.
Introduction to DMT340
The DMT340 transmitter measures dewpoint temperature accurately in a
measurement range from -60ºC to +80 ºC (-76 ... +176 ºF). The AutoCal
feature provides excellent long term stability of the measurement.
DMT340 incorporates the advanced DRYCAP® technology, which
enables reliable and high-performance dewpoint measurement.
Apart from the extended dewpoint measurement range the optional
modules provide for more flexibility. See Table 2 on page 18 for the
quantities that DMT340 measures and calculates. See Table 3 on page 18
for the optional quantities measured by DMT340.

Figure 12 Mounting the Rain Shield with Installation Kit
Panel Mounting Frame
To enable a neat and dirt free embedded installation of the transmitter, a
panel mounting frame is available as an option (Vaisala order code:
216038). The frame is a thin, flexible plastic frame for the transmitter,
with adhesive tape on one side.
The frame is used to hide any rough edges of the installation hole, and
provide a more finished look. Note that the panel mounting frame is not
intended to bear the weight of the transmitter, and does not include any
mounting supports.
Use the panel mounting frame as follows:
1. Use the frame as a template to mark the required size for the
installation hole in the panel.
2. Cut the hole in the panel.
3. Mount the transmitter through the panel with suitable supports.
When there is high electric noise level (for example near powerful
electric motor) in the operating environment it is recommended to use
shielded cable or take care that the signal cables are separated from other
cables.
Wiring
Cable Bushings
A single electrical cable with a screen and three to ten wires is
recommended for power and analog/serial connections. The cable
diameter should be 8 ... 11 mm. The number of cable bushings depends
on the transmitter options. See the following recommendations for the
cable bushings:
In case you need to ground the transmitter housing, the grounding
connector is found inside the housing; see Figure 1 on page 20. Note
anyhow that the probe is connected to the same potential as the housing.
Make sure that different groundings are made to the same potential.
Otherwise harmful ground currents may be generated.
If it is needed to have galvanic isolation of the power supply line from
the output signals, DMT340 can be ordered with optional galvanic
isolation module.This module prevents harmful grounding loops.
Signal and Power Supply Wiring
When connecting transmitter with 8-pin connector, see section 8-Pin
Connector on page 68.
1. Open the transmitter cover by taking out the four cover screws.
2. Insert the power supply wires and signal wires through the cable
bushing in the bottom of the transmitter; see the grounding
instructions in the previous sections.
3. Connect the analog output cables to terminals: Ch1 +, Ch1-, Ch2+,
Ch2-. Connect the RS-232 user port cables to terminals RxD, GND
and TxD. See section User Port Connection on page 83.

DMT342 Small-size Flanged Probe for
Use with Sampling Cell
The DMT342 probe is a small pressure-tight probe equipped with
installation flange. When sampling in pressurized processes, the
sampling cell HMP302SC is available as an optional accessory. It may be
necessary to use the sampling cell if the process (for example a pipe) is
too small for the DMT342 probe. Furthermore, if the process is very hot
(>80 °C) or particularly dirty, the probe is installed in a sampling cell
behind a cooling coil and/or filter. In this case, the ambient temperature
must be at least 10 °C warmer than the process dewpoint in order to
avoid condensation in the sample tubing.
Figure 19 DMT342 Installation (without the Sampling Cell)
6 = Clamp (not needed if sampling cell is supported on the piping)
In pressurized processes it is essential to tighten the supporting nuts and
screws very carefully to
pressure.
When the DMT340 is installed in a process with a pressure differing from
the selected operating pressure at the time of ordering, please enter the
pressure value of the process into the transmitter memory, see section
Pressure Compensation Setting
commands XPRES and PRES or the d
buttons on the motherboard inside the transmitter can also be used to set
pressure compensation.
The DMT344 probe is for the dewpoint measurements in pressurized
rooms and industrial processes. The probe is provided with a nut, a fitting
screw and a sealing washer. Keep the fitting screw and the nut in place
on the body of the probe during handling to prevent damage to the highly
polished surface of the probe. Follow the instructions below to achieve a
leak-tight assembly:
1. Remove the fitting screw from the nut and the probe.
2. Fasten the fitting screw to the chamber wall with a sealing washer.
Tighten the fitting screw into the threaded sleeve with a torque
spanner. The tightening torque is 150 ± 10 Nm (110 ± 7 ft-lbs).
3. Insert the body of the probe into the fitting screw and install the nut
manually to the fitting screw so that the connection feels tight.
4. Mark both the fitting screw and the nut hex.

Ball Valve Instal lation Kit for DMT348
The ball valve installation kit (Vaisala order code: BALLVALVE-1) is
preferred when connecting the probe to a pressurized process or pipeline.
Use the ball valve set or a 1/2" ball valve assembly with a ball hole of
ø14 mm or more. If you install the probe (ø12 mm) in a process pipe,
please note that the nominal size of the pipe must be at least 1 inch (2.54
cm). Use the manual press handle to press the probe into the pressurized
(< 10 bar) process or pipeline.

Follow the steps below to install the DMT348 probe through a ball valve
assembly. After the installation, the probe should be sitting in the process
chamber or pipeline as shown in Figure 30 on page 44.
1. Shut down the process if the process pressure is more than 10 bars.
If the pressure is lower there is no need to shut down the process.
2. Close the ball valve.
3. Seal the threads on the fitting body; refer to Figure 28 on page 42.

4. Attach the fitting body to the ball valve and tighten it.
5. Slide the clasp nut of the probe toward the filter, as far as it will go.
6. Insert the probe to the fitting body, and manually tighten the clasp
nut to the fitting body.
7. Open the ball valve.
8. Push the probe through the ball valve assembly into the process. If
the pressure is high, use the pressing handle that is provided with
the probe. If you push the probe hard without using the handle, you
may damage the cable.
Note that the probe must be pushed so deep that the filter is
completely inside the process flow.
9. Mark the fitting screw and the clasp nut.
10. Tighten the clasp nut with a fork spanner a further 50 ... 60º
(ca. 1/6 turn). If you have a suitable torque spanner, tighten the nut
to max 45 ± 5 Nm (33 ± 4 ft-lbs). Refer to Figure 29 on page 43.
nut more than 60° to avoid difficulties
If you wish to remove the probe from the process, note that you have to
pull the probe out far enough. You cannot close the valve if the groove
on the probe body is not visible.
When the probe cannot be installed directly in the pressurized process or
process pipe, a leak screw installation can be used.
In this installation method, you must install the DMT348 probe using a
fitting body with leak screw, see Figure 27 on page 41. A small sample
flow from the process goes through the probe and via the leak screw out
to atmospheric pressure enabling a fast response time although the probe
is not installed in the process.

Mounting the Probe Directly to the
Process
Select a point, which gives a true picture of the process. The transmitter
can be installed directly in the process wall, especially if the pressure of
the process is 1 bar (atmospheric processes).
It may be necessary to use the sampling cell if the process (for example a
pipe) is too small for the DMT348 probe. Furthermore, if the process is
very hot (>80 °C) or particularly dirty, the probe is installed in a
sampling cell behind a cooling coil and/or filter. In this case, the ambient
temperature must be at least 10 °C warmer than the process dewpoint in
order to avoid condensation in the sample tubing.
0503-016
Figure 32 DM240FA with Probe
If the probe is installed in process pipes where the water is likely to
collect at the measurement point, take care to install the probe so that it
will not be immersed in water.
When the probe is installed directly on the process wall or pipe, note that
a closing valve may be needed on both sides of the installed probe so that
the probe can be removed from the process for calibration or
maintenance.
If the probe is installed in a pressurized chamber, always make sure that
the pressure of the chamber is equalized with the ambient pressure prior
to removing the probe. When the probe is pulled out for maintenance,
cap the hole with a capped nut. This way, the process can be running
although the probe is not in place. For ISO threaded connections, a plug
(Vaisala order code 218773) is available.
0706-001
Figure 33 Example of Installing the Probe Directly on the Process
It may be necessary to use a sampling cell if the process (for example a
pipe) is too small for the DMT348 probe. Furthermore, if the process is
very hot (>80 °C) or particularly dirty, the probe is installed in a
sampling cell behind a cooling coil and/or filter. In this case, the ambient
temperature must be at least 10 °C warmer than the process dewpoint in
order to avoid condensation in the sample tubing.
Sampling Cell with Swagelok Connectors (Vaisala order code:
DMT242SC2) and Sampling Cell with Female Connectors (Vaisala order
code: DMT242SC) are available as an option.
An overpressure in the process is necessary to create a flow through the
sampling cell. Note that the pressure of the sampling cell must not differ
from that of the process because dewpoint temperature changes with
pressure. In dirty processes, it may be necessary to use a filter between
the cooling coil and the sampling cell. One more simple way of using the
sampling cell with user provided accessories is shown in the figure
below.The flow through the sampling cell is controlled with the needle
valve and the pressure is kept equal to that of the process.

RS-422/485 Interf ace
The RS-422/485 interface enables communication between an RS-485
network and the DMT340 transmitter. The RS-485 interface is isolated
and offers a maximum communications rate of 115 200 bits/s. (For
maximum bus length of 1 km, use bit rate 19200 b/s or less.)
When selecting an RS-232 to RS-485 converter for the network, avoid
self-powered converters, as they do not necessarily support the needed
power consumption.
NOTE
-232 User Port on DMT340 main board cannot be used and
If you use the internal termination of the transmitter at the end of the
RS

Installation and Wiring
1. Disconnect the power. In case the RS-422/485-module is installed
in the factory, continue with the item 4.
2. To attach the module, open the transmitter cover and fasten the
RS-422/485 module to the bottom of the housing with four screws.
3. Connect the flat cable between the RS-422/485 module and the
motherboard's pins MODULE1 (Communications).
4. Pull the network wirings through the cable gland.
5. Connect the twisted pair wires (1 or 2 pairs) to the screw terminals
as presented in Table 5:
Table 5 Connecting the Twisted Pair Wires to the Screw

NOTE
To avoid problems in the RS-422/485 network, the Common
terminal should be wired to the corresponding terminals of the
other devices.
6. If you use RS-422 or RS-485 to connect just one DMT340 to a
master computer,enable the internal termination of DMT340 by
switching switches 1 and 2 ON. Make sure that the master's end of
the line is also terminated (by using master's internal termination or
with a separate terminator).
If you are connecting many transmitters to the same RS-485 bus,
make sure that switches 1 and 2 are OFF and terminate the bus with
separate terminators at both ends. This allows removing any
transmitter without blocking the bus operation.

LAN Interface
The optional LAN interface enables an Ethernet connection to the
transmitter. The user can establish a virtual terminal session using a
Telnet client program such as PuTTY or by using Modbus TCP protocol.
When the LAN interface is in use, serial communication using the RS232 User Port is disabled.
The LAN interface module must be installed at the factory (when
ordering the transmitter), or by a Vaisala Service Center. Once installed,
the module is automatically used by the transmitter. The physical
connection to the network is made to the RJ45 connector on the LAN
interface module, using a standard twisted pair Ethernet cable
(10/100Base-T). Transmitters with the optional LAN interface are
delivered pre-installed with a suitable cable and cable gland.
The LAN interface can use both static and dynamic network settings. If
the interface is configured to use dynamic settings, the network where the
LAN interface is connected must have a DHCP server that provides the
settings.
CAUTION
The network configuration can be done using the optional display and
keypad, or by using the service port. For instructions, see section LAN
Communication on page 85. The LAN interface also provides a web
configuration interf ace , whi ch you can acc ess b y entering the IP address
of the LAN interface in the address field of a web browser. See section
Web Configuration for LAN and WLAN on page 92.
The LAN interface is designed to be used in trusted network
environments (trusted corporate LAN or VPN-based connection over
internet). Avoid connecting the transmitter directly to a public network
because the device can be attacked by a malicious user through the
network.
Connector for antenna
cable (connected to
transmitter cover)
The WLAN interface is designed to be used in trusted
environments (trusted corporate LAN or VPN
internet). Avoid connecting the transmitter directly to a public network
because the device can be attacked by a malicious user through the
network.
WLAN Interface
The optional WLAN interface enables a wireless Ethernet connection
(IEEE 802.11b) to the transmitter. The user can establish a virtual
terminal session using a Telnet client program such as PuTTY or by
using Modbus TCP protocol. When the WLAN interface is in use, serial
communication using the RS-232 User Port is disabled.
The interface supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA, WPA2). For WEP, 64 and 128 bit encryption is
supported, with open system or shared key authentication. WPA is used
in the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode, with either TKIP or CCMP (also
known as AES) encryption.
Similarly to the LAN interface, the WLAN interface can use both static
and dynamic network settings. If the interface is configured to use
dynamic settings, the network where the WLAN interface is connected
must have a DHCP server that provides the settings.
CAUTION
The WLAN interface also provides a web configuration interface, which
you can access by entering the IP address of the WLAN interface in the
address field of a web browser. See section Web Configuration for LAN
and WLAN on page 92.

NOTE
The default country setting for the WLAN interface is United States,
which limits the operation to WLAN channels 1 ... 11. To enable
additional channels (12 ... 14), you can change the country setting using
the web configuration interface.
Attaching the WLAN Antenna
The WLAN interface module must be installed at the factory (when
ordering the transmitter), or by a Vaisala Service Center. Before taking
the transmitter into use, you must attach the antenna of the WLAN
interface into the RP-SMA connector on the transmitter cover. The
location of the antenna is shown in Figure 92 on page 173.
Data Logger Module
The optional data logger module extends the data storage for the
measurement data. When the data logger is present, this storage is
automatically used by the transmitter. The stored data can be browsed
using the optional display module, and accessed through the serial
connections. See sections Graphic History on page 71 and Data
Recording on page 119.
The data logger module contains non-volatile flash memory providing
4 years and 5 months of storage for 4 parameters at a 10-second sampling
interval. When the memory is full, the data recording will not stop.
Instead, the oldest data is overwritten. For each parameter and
observation period, the module stores the minimum and maximum values
during the interval, as well a data trend value that is averaged from
samples taken during the interval (see Table 8 on page 66).
Table 8 Observation Periods and Resolution
The quantities that are logged are the same that have been selected for
measurement using the display/keypad or the serial line. When taking the
transmitter into use, verify that the desired quantities are selected. If you
change the quantities later, the transmitter will start logging the new
quantities, and stop logging the quantities that are no longer selected.
Changing the quantities does not delete any measurement data that is
already in memory. However, the data of any removed quantity cannot be
accessed unless the quantity is re-activated first.
The data logger module has a real time clock with a battery back-up. The
clock has been set to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) at the
factory, and its time cannot be set by the user. The data that is stored in
the logger's memory is timestamped using the logger's clock.
When date and time are set on the transmitter, they are stored to the
transmitter's memory as an offset from the time on the logger's clock.
When browsing the stored data, the time offset is applied to the
timestamps shown in the graphical history, and data outputted from the
serial port. The timestamps in the data logger's memory remain as they
were originally stored.
You can compensate for the clock drift (less than ±2 min/year) by setting
the time on the transmitter. This updates the time offset used on the
display and the serial port. You can set the time by using the
keypad/display or the serial commands.
0706-068
Figure 46 Data Logger Module
After a reset or a power up, it will usually take at least 10 seconds before
the data logger module is initialized. The instrument will not start up
before the data logger module is ready.
The indicator LED on the module will blink green during normal
operation. If the LED is lit in red color, there is a problem with the
module. The transmitter will also indicate the problem by activating the
"Internal error on add-on module" error. If the module is not operating
correctly, the transmitter must be sent to Vaisala for maintenance.
The data logger module must be installed at the factory (when ordering
the transmitter), or by a Vaisala Service Center. Once installed, the
module is automatically used by the transmitter. When the module
requires a new battery, the transmitter must be sent to Vaisala for
maintenance.
This chapter contains information that is needed to operate this product.
Getting Started
Within a few seconds after power-up the LED on the cover of the
transmitter is lit continuously indicating normal operation. When the
transmitter is turned on the first time, the language selection window
opens: Select the language with ▼▲ arrow buttons and press the SELECT button (the left-hand button).
Pressure has an effect on humidity calculations and accuracy. Therefore,
accurate calculations can be achieved only when the ambient pressure is
taken into consideration. See page 106 for instructions on how to set the
pressure.
Start-up time for DMT340 transmitter is in total about 6 minutes. The
ouputs (serial and analog) are activated 3 seconds after powering up the
DMT340. If the data logger module is installed, the it may take up to 18
seconds for the outputs to be activated.
In addition, 10 seconds after the measurement the outputs will freeze for
about 6 minutes due to the sensor self diagnostics procedure (Sensor
Purge and Autocal). The frozen output value will be the value the
DMT340 transmitter reached during the 10 seconds of measurement.
After the self diagnostics procedure the outputs are operational again.

MI70 Link Program for Data Handling
MI70 Link is a support program that enables you to handle the
measurement data of your Vaisala transmitter using a Windows PC.
Using the MI70 Link you can, for example:
- Monitor the transmitter’s measurement readings directly using the
real-time window function.
- Transfer recorded data from the main transmitter memory in numeric
or graphical format, for further use in a spreadsheet program (such as
Microsoft Excel) or virtually any other application. Note that the
maximum amount of data points that can be downloaded in one
transfer is 65000.
To use the MI70 Link program, you must connect your Windows PC to
the service port of the transmitter with a serial or USB cable. The MI70
Link program, and the optional connection cables, are available from
Vaisala. See section Spare Parts and Accessories on page 170.
NOTE
Follow the steps below to connect your transmitter and start using the
MI70 Link:
1. Connect your PC to the service port of the transmitter. Refer to
section Service Port Connection on page 84.
2. Check that the DMT340 is powered.
3. Start the MI70 Link program.
4. Start using the program. There is usually no need to select a COM
port manually, the MI70 Link software can detect it automatically.
To connect to the service port, you need a suitable cable with an RJ45
connector. Depending on the connections of your PC, you can either use
the Serial Connection Cable (optional accessory 19446ZZ) or the
USB-RJ45 Serial Connection Cable (optional accessory 219685). The
USB cable enables you to connect the transmitter to a PC via a standard
type A USB port. Note that the USB cable does not enable high speed
data transfer, since the bit rate is limited by the serial interface of the
service port.
Installing the Driver f or t he USB Cable
Before taking the USB cable into use, you must install the provided USB
driver on your PC. When installing the driver, you must acknowledge
any security prompts that may appear.
1. Check that the USB cable is not connected. Disconnect the cable if
you have already connected it.
2. Insert the media that came with the cable, or download the latest
driver from www.vaisala.com.
3. Execute the USB driver installation program (setup.exe), and
accept the installation defaults.
4. After the driver has been installed, connect the USB service cable
to a USB port on your PC. Windows will detect the new device,
and use the driver automatically.
5. The installation has reserved a COM port for the cable. Verify the
port number, and the status of the cable, using the Vaisala USB Instrument Finder program that has been installed in the
Windows Start menu.
Windows will recognize each individual cable as a different device, and
reserve a new COM port. Remember to use the correct port in the
settings of your terminal program.
1. Open the screws on the transmitter cover, and open the cover.
2. Connect the desired cable (serial interface cable or USB cable) to
your PC and the service port connector on the transmitter. For
location of the service port, refer to Figure 56 on page 82.
3. Open a terminal program and set the communication settings as
follows:
Table 14 Communication Settings for the Service Port
For a detailed explanation of using a terminal program, see section
Terminal Program Settings on page 93.
4. Power-up the DMT340.
LAN Communication

When a Telnet connection is established via the LAN or WLAN
interface, the session has the same communication mode, run interval,
poll address and echo settings as the serial port (user port) session would
have.
These settings can be changed using the display/keypad, using the serial
line (user port or service port), or on-the-fly during the Telnet session.
The display menu path to the Communication Protocol settings is:
Main Menu ► Interfaces ► Network Interface ► Communication
Protocol.
The commands for changing the settings are SMODE, INTV, ADDR,
and ECHO.
Web Configuration for LAN and WLAN
The LAN and WLAN interfaces both have a web configuration page that
is accessible using a browser. If you have not disabled the page from the
network settings, you can access it with a web browser at the IP address
of the interface. You can check the currently assigned IP address of the
interface from the device information screens (see Device Information on
page 111), or from the serial line by issuing the net ? command.
When accessing the web configuration page, you must first log in.
Username: user
Password: vaisala
The web configuration page provides similar network configuration
options as the serial line and the display/keypad. It also has additional
options for advanced users. For example, there are more options for
securing the wireless network.
If these additional options are used, they will appear as custom
configurations when viewed from the serial line or the display/keypad.

NOTE
The instructions below describe how to connect to the DMT340 using the
PuTTY terminal application for Windows. Perform the necessary cabling
and configuration of the transmitter before following the instructions.
PuTTY is available for download at www.vaisala.com.
1. Power up the DMT340 and start the PuTTY application.
2. Select the Serial & USB settings category, and check that the
correct COM port is selected in the Serial or USB line to connect to field. Change the port if necessary.
If you are using a Vaisala USB cable, you can check the port that it
uses by clicking the USB Finder... button. This opens the Vaisala USB Instrument Finder program that has been installed along with
the USB drivers.
3. Check that the other serial/USB line settings are correct for your
connection, and change if necessary. The default settings (shown in
Figure 64 below) are used by the Service Port of the DMT340.

using the serial line.
If PuTTY is unable to open the serial port you selected, it will show
you an error message instead. If this happens, restart PuTTY and
check the settings.
The instructions below assume that the LAN/WLAN interface on the
transmitter is correctly configured and the network connection is already
done.
Opening a Telnet Session (L AN/WLAN)
NOTE
1. Power up the instrument and start the PuTTY application. If your
transmitter acquires a network address using DHCP, wait for a
minute for this to complete, then verify the address from the
transmitter.
2. In the Session window, select the Telnet connection type.
3. Enter the IP address of your transmitter in the Host Name (or IP
address) field. Use the default Telnet port 23.
