OPERATION
3.1
Measurement and Configuration
The Easidew PRO XP can be configured to provide an output of 4-20 mA (2-wire connection)
for the following:
Dew point
-166 to +68°F (-110 to +20°C)
Moisture content in gas 0 - 3000 ppmV
Moisture content in liquids 0 - 1000 ppmW
The Easidew PRO XP can be purchased factory configured as required. Alternatively, the
Easidew PRO XP can be configured by the customer, using the Easidew XP Communications
Kit (XP-CK) and Easidew Application Software. The Easidew Communications Kit can be
purchased from Kahn Instruments. For a free copy of the Application Software contact
Kahn Instruments (www.kahn.com).
For moisture content in gas, the calculation from the measured dew point is assumed to
be at atmospheric pressure. Alternatively, a fixed gas pressure needs to be programmed
into the Easidew PRO XP.
For moisture content measurement in liquid, the Easidew PRO XP requires the saturation
constant of the liquid to be programmed into the transmitters, either at the factory or by
the customer using the Application Software.
The transmitter requires a 6-point look-up table for saturation constants up to 1000
ppmW over the temperature range +32 to +122°F (0 to +50°C). Saturation constants
for 8 common liquids can be programmed into the Easidew PRO XP via the Application
Software. Alternatively, the user can program saturation constants manually. The
Application Software Help file provides detailed instructions on how to perform this task.
Easidew PRO XP EX2 (Display) Only
The display meter is simple in design and is a slave display to the measurement and
configuration of the main transmitter pcb. It can be scaled linearly equating to the
circulating 4-20 mA signal output from the main transmitter pcb.
In order to re-configure the display, the enclosure lid should be removed by unscrewing
it in a counter-clockwise direction.
Care should be taken when unscrewing and replacing the
enclosure lid as the threads form an important part of the Ex
compliance regulations and therefore must not be damaged.
The lid must be replaced after using the display meter and the
set screw tightened.
A full explanation of the operation and configuration of the integral display meter is
detailed in Appendix D.

OPERATION
3.2
Sampling Hints
Operation is very simple, assuming the following installation techniques are adhered
to:
Be Sure the Sample is Representative of the Gas Under Test:
The sample point should be as close to the critical measurement point as possible.
Also, never sample from the bottom of a pipe as entrained liquids may be drawn into
the sensing element.
Minimize Dead Space in Sample Lines:
Dead space causes moisture entrapment points, increased system response times
and measurement errors, as a result of the trapped moisture being released into the
passing sample gas and causing an increase in partial vapor pressure.
Deadspace
Figure 18
Indication of Dead Space
Remove Any Particulate Matter or Oil from the Gas Sample:
Particulate matter at high velocity can damage the sensing element and similarly, at
low velocity, they may ‘blind’ the sensing element and reduce its response speed. If
particulate, such as degraded desiccant, pipe scale or rust is present in the sample gas,
use an in-line filter, as a minimum level of protection. For more demanding applications
Kahn Instruments offers a range of sampling systems (for more information contact
www.kahn.com).
Use High Quality Sample Tube and Fittings:
Kahn Instruments recommends that, wherever possible, stainless steel tubing and
fittings should be used. This is particularly important at low dew points since other
materials have hygroscopic characteristics and adsorb moisture on the tubing or pipe
walls, slowing down response and, in extreme circumstances, giving false readings.
For temporary applications, or where stainless steel tubing is not practical, use high
quality thick walled PTFE tubing and work within the maximum pressure rating of this
tubing.
Position Transmitter away from Heat Source:
It is recommended, as good instrumentation practice, that the transmitter is placed
away from any heat source to avoid adsorption/desorption (particularly solar radiation
during daylight hours).

!
The power to the enclosure must be turned off before any
work is carried out in the measurement system enclosure.
Observe de-energize durations.
Gas line connections to the measurement system must be
isolated and de-pressurized before any work commences.
4.1
Calibration
Routine maintenance of the Easidew PRO XP is confined to regular re-calibration by
exposure of the transmitter to sample gases of known moisture content to insure that
the stated accuracy is maintained. Calibration services traceable to the US National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are provided by Kahn Instruments.
Kahn Instruments offers a re-calibration service to suit specific needs. A Kahn
representative can provide detailed, custom advice (for Kahn Instruments’ contact
information go to www.kahn.com).
4.2
Sensor Guard Replacement
The sensor is supplied with either a stainless steel sintered or HDPE guard.
The stainless steel guard provides >80μm protection to the dew-point sensor, whereas
the HDPE protects to >10μm. It is designed to show any contamination and the guard
should be changed if the surface becomes discolored.
When replacing the guard, care should be taken to minimize touching the guard which
should be handled by the threaded part. Replacement guards can be obtained by
contacting Kahn Instruments (www.kahn.com) or your local distributor.
Please note the sensor tile should not be touched.
