This precision dew point sensor is suitable for refrigerant, desiccant, drum and membrane dryers. The sensor design provides long-term, reliable, high-accuracy measurements. Its proven polymer technology provides strong contamination resistance and ability to withstand exposure to higher moisture levels. This sensor is deal for dew point ranges of -60°C to +60°C (-76°F to +140°F).

The Dew Point Sensor is available with an in-built display or without a display. The display option includes an alarm relay and allows you to adjust the dew point settings (gas type, measurement units, modbus and 4-20mA settings, etc).

Best suited to

  • Compressed air and gas systems to 4 Mpa (600psi)
  • Refrigerant, membrane, drum or hybrid dryers operating at or above -50°C (-58°F)
  • Dew point range of -60°C to +60°C (-76°F to +140°F)
  • Tough Conditions

Key features of the Dew Point Meter – K Series

  • Ultra fast response time
  • Accuracy +/- 2°C
  • Suitable for refrigerant, membrane, drum or desiccant dryers operating at or above -50°C (-58°F)
  • Dew Point Measurement Range: -60°C to +60°C (-76°F to +140°F)
    • Note: relative humidity must not exceed 85%
  • Excellent long term stability
  • Anti-condensation, anti-particulate pollution, oil vapour and most chemicals
  • IP65 rated
  • Digital (Modbus) and Analogue (4-20mA) outputs:
    • Modbus (Digital) – up to 4 output signals (Pressure Dew Point (PDP), Relative Humidity, Temperature, Pressure)
    • 4-20mA (Analogue) – 1 output signal (PDP) only
  • Optional integrated pressure transducer (MEMS based pressure sensor)
  • Optional in-built display
  • High resistance to electrical disturbances

Important

  • This sensor is NOT recommended for dew points below -60°C (-76°F)
  • A minimum flow rate of > 1 L/min is required for the sensor to read accurately
  • The sensor must be installed in an upright position, after the dryer
  • Incorrect wiring or installation can damage the sensor and void the warranty. If you aren’t sure how to install or wire the sensor, please contact us. Full installation and wiring instructions are available in the User Manual.
