2. Product Overview

2.1 Introduction to DMT152

The Vaisala DRYCAPâ dew point transmitter DMT152 measures dew point temperature accurately in a measurement range from −80 °C to −20 °C (−112 … −4 °F). The maximum output range of the transmitter is −100 … 20 °C (−148 … +68 °F).
DMT152 is designed for a wide range of OEM applications. The transmitter is easy to install, and the mechanics have been designed for harsh environments requiring protection against dust, dirt, and splashed water.
The excellent stability and reliability of the transmitter’s performance is based on advanced DRYCAP polymer sensor technology. The DRYCAP technology has low maintenance needs due to its excellent long-term stability and durability against condensation. For more information on DRYCAP technology, see Advanced DRYCAP Technology (page 12).

3. Functional Description

3.1 Advanced DRYCAP Technology

Dew point transmitter DMT152 utilizes an advanced, patented measurement technology to ensure accurate measurement with excellent long-term stability. This results in very low maintenance requirements for the transmitter. The lasting performance is achieved with microprocessor technology and software that automatically performs self-diagnostic functions in addition to the normal dew point measurement. The self-diagnostic procedures that are conducted are called auto-calibration, sensor purge, and sensor warming.

3.1.1 Auto-Calibration

The auto-calibration feature of the DMT152 transmitter is an automatic procedure that greatly reduces the possible drift in the dry end of the dew point measurement.
Auto-calibration is performed:
• at 45-minute intervals
• at shorter intervals if Td is near the dry end of the measurement range
• when the transmitter is powered up
• when the measured environment changes rapidly.
During auto-calibration the sensor is warmed for a short period (< 1 min) and the sensor capacitance values are evaluated at the elevated temperature. The possible dry end drift is then corrected to correspond to the calibrated values. Measurement and output remain active during auto-calibration.
Auto-calibration is carried out only if several criteria for the measurement environment are fulfilled. This ensures the reliability of the adjustments, and maintains the excellent long-term stability.

3.1.2 Sensor Purge

Sensor purge is also an automatic procedure that minimizes the drift at the wet end readings of the dew point measurement. Sensor purge is performed once a week or when the power is switched on. The sensor is heated for several minutes, which will then evaporate all excess molecules out of the sensor polymer. This, together with the auto-calibration, results in a very small drift. The measurement output of the transmitter is frozen to the last measured value for the duration of the sensor purge.

4. Installation

4.1 Selecting the Location

It is important that the conditions at the point of installation represent well the gas to be measured. Temperature changes do not aect the dew point measurement, but pressure changes will have an eect on the measurement. All leaks in the system must be eliminated to avoid ambient humidity aecting the measurement.
Direct installation to the measured gas is the recommended installation method if the temperature of the gas is suitable for DMT152 and no additional filtering is needed due to very dusty or oily gas. Oil as such is not harmful for the DRYCAP sensor, but response time may be slower if there are oil particles in the system, or if oil is collected to the filter over a longer period of time. The maximum measurement pressure is 50 bara / 725 psia (absolute pressure)
for direct measurement.
If the gas temperature is higher than the specified maximum operating temperature of the transmitter, gas sampling and cooling it to ambient temperature (for example, 10 °C / 18 °F) is recommended. Note that the dew point temperature must be clearly lower than the ambient temperature to avoid condensation in the sampling line. Sampling from the process is easy by using Vaisala sampling cell options; see Sampling Accessories (page 21).
DMT152 is light in weight, which means that it can be installed in a sample pipeline in the sampling cells without the need for any additional mechanical support.

DMT152 User Guide M210865EN-J
After selecting a suitable measurement location, install the transmitter as instructed here.
1. Remove the yellow transport protection cap from the transmitter. Do not touch the filter with your hands.
2. Prepare the sealing of the connection:
a. If the transmitter has a parallel ISO G1/2" thread or UNF 3/4"-16 thread, place the
sealing ring at the base of the thread. Always use a new sealing ring; do not reuse a previously installed one.
b. If the transmitter has an NPT 1/2" thread, do not use the sealing ring. Instead, apply
PTFE tape or suitable sealant paste to the thread. Follow the application instructions of the paste.
3. Make sure that the threads on the mounting point are of the correct type, and fasten the transmitter to the measurement point. Use your hands to turn the probe until it feels tight. Do not use force at this point, and check that the sealing ring (if used) remains centered.
4. Use a 30 mm wrench to tighten the connection to 25 Nm. If you do not have a 30 mm wrench, use a 1 3/16" wrench or an adjustable wrench.
CAUTION!
NOT apply force to other points in the probe body.
Only tighten the probe from the 30 mm tightening nut. Do

Chapter 4 – Installation
5. Connect the wires of the connection cable. When using cables provided with DMT152, see
Wiring (page 15) and Power Supply Requirements (page 19).
6. Plug in the cable to the transmitter. Be sure to use the correct connector; see Wiring
(page 15).
7. Cover the unused connector on the transmitter with the rubber plug that is attached to the transmitter.
8. Turn on the power supply. DMT152 performs self-diagnostics at startup, and the output is frozen for several minutes. The transmitter will output an approximated reading after one minute, but accurate measurement will only be available after the startup procedure is complete.
Normal operation is typically achieved in 10 … 15 minutes. If the measurement environment changes during the startup, the startup may take up to 15 minutes.
The transmitter always performs the self-diagnostic procedure and sensor purge when starting up. Keep the transmitter continuously powered to optimize its measurement performance and availability.

Chapter 4 – Installation

4.3.3 Power Supply Requirements

The DMT152 transmitters are designed to operate with a supply voltage of 15 … 28 VDC (voltage output version) or 21 … 28 VDC (current output version). When only the RS-485 output is used, 11 … 28 VDC is enough in typical measurement conditions.
When measuring in pressures 20 … 50 bara (290 … 725 psia) or in temperatures −40 … 0 °C (−40 … 32 °F), a supply voltage of 21 … 28 VDC is required.
The power supply should maintain the voltage for all load conditions. Voltage fluctuations must be smaller than 0.3 V, as continuous supply voltage fluctuation may interfere with the auto-calibration function.
• If auto-calibration has failed due to voltage fluctuation, you can verify it using the STAT command on the serial line. See Show Transmitter Status (page 33).
• If auto-calibration fails repeatedly, the Autocal error code will be activated. See Error
Codes (page 58).
Current consumption during normal operation is 20 mA. Consumption increases during auto­calibration and sensor purge. The maximum current consumption is 220 mA pulsed current.
DMT152 can be powered by the MI70 indicator or the Vaisala USB cable. However, the power supplied by these devices may not be enough for all functions of the transmitter (for example, the current output). If you are using a separate power supply in connector I, connect the power supply first before connecting the USB cable or the MI70 indicator. The order is important, since the transmitter will use the power supply that is connected first.

4.4 Loop-Powered Display

DMT152 can be connected to a loop-powered external LED display. The display provides a reading of the output parameter. The display is powered by the 4 ... 20 mA current signal, so there is no need for an external power supply.
Two models are available:
• Nokeval 301 (Vaisala order code 226476)
• Nokeval 302 (with alarm relays, Vaisala order code 234759)
The display is delivered at its default settings. Configure the display functions and scaling according to the documentation delivered with the display. For a wiring example, see Figure 7
(page 20) .
The loop resistance of the display must be included in the loop resistance calculation for the complete current loop. For the loop resistance of the display, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.

Sampling is needed when direct measurement of the air or gas is not possible or desirable. This may be related to, for example, a high process temperature, protecting the sensor from water spikes, the need to easily detach the instrument from a pressurized process without running the whole process down, or wanting to make the measurement at a more convenient location. To get a representative sample of the process gas and avoid error sources caused by the sampling system, the following aspects should be considered:
