MAINTENANCE / SAFETY ISSUES

 

One of the added features of the DP2000 is the ability to monitor the sensor’s operating temperature through the built-in thermistor in the probe tip.  The temperature of the sample gas can be determined by pressing the switch labeled “Sensor Temp”.  It is spring loaded, so it will automatically return to displaying dew point.

 

Maintaining proper sensor temperature will prevent the premature failure of the sensor.  The operating temperature of the sensor should remain below 140° F (60°C) at all times.  Periodic checks of the sensor temperature will verify that the sensor is not being exposed to excessive heat.  If these periodic checks show a high sensor temperature, then the length of sample tubing should be increased to allow for adequate cooling of the sample before it passes the sensor tip.

Continuous operation of the DP2000 Dew Point Analyzer will lead to premature failure, since many the internal components are not designed for uninterrupted use.  If continuous monitoring of Dew Points is required, please contact Super Systems, Inc. at 513-772-0060 to inquire about products intended specifically for this application.
