Chapter 6 ____________________________________ Field Calibration Check of Fixed Transmitters CHAPTER 6 FIELD CALIBRATION CHECK OF FIXED TRANSMITTERS To compare measurement readings or to read the output of a fixed transmitter directly on the DM70 display, connect DM70 to a fixed Vaisala transmitter using the connection cable accessories. Vaisala DRYCAP® Dewpoint and Temperature Transmitter Series DMT340 can be adjusted in laboratory conditions using DM70 as a reference.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ 3. If you are requested to check the environment settings, press Yes. Then check the pressure settings. To set the ambient pressure, see section Pressure Settings on page 36. 4. Check that the pressure units of DM70 and DMT340/DMT242/DM142 are the same. If not, and you are checking DMT242/DMT142, change the DM70 pressure unit to bara by pressing Unit on the corresponding row.
Chapter 6 ____________________________________ Field Calibration Check of Fixed Transmitters 1. Connect the cable between DMP248 (connector X5, 6-pin connector on the left of the motherboard) and DM70 (connector I or II). Turn on both the devices. 2. Open the menu by pressing 3. Select Functions and press 4. Select Calibrate transmitters and press 5. Select 1. Baud rate and 2.Serial format. To change the serial settings, press Set.

USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ 11. Wait until the readings are stabilized (can take one hour in very low dewpoints). If the difference between the dewpoint readings is less than 3 ºC, there is no immediate need for adjustment. However, in applications where best possible accuracy is essential, it is recommended to send the DMP248 transmitter to Vaisala (see section Vaisala Service Centers on page 78) if the difference is considered significant. 12.
Chapter 7 ____________________________________________________Sampling from Processes CHAPTER 7 SAMPLING FROM PROCESSES When the dewpoint of a process needs to be measured using DM70, the process can be sampled using one of the following devices: - DSC74 - DSC74B - DSC74C - DSS70A - DMT242SC - DMT242SC2 Use the DSC74 sampling cell when the sample is taken from the pressurized process, where the process pressure forces the sample gas into the sample cell. Use the DSC74B sampling cell as DSC74.

Chapter 7 ____________________________________________________Sampling from Processes To make the connection, follow the instructions below: 1. Select the quick connector or thread adapter according to your process fitting. 2. Check that the pressure setting is correct. For details, see section Pressure Settings on page 36. 3. Make sure that the valve of the sampling cell is open. First close the valve, then turn it halfway open again.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ 8. Set the probe into the sample cell. Tighten the probe by turning it from the thread nut. Do not tighten the probe from the handle. 9. If the sample cell is installed correctly, there is no leakage in the connections. You can test this by closing the valve temporarily. By using the quick connector, the process pressure can be maintained during the installation or removal of the sampling cell.
Chapter 7 ____________________________________________________Sampling from Processes The DSS70A sampling system can be ordered from Vaisala separately or in connection with the Vaisala DRYCAP® Hand-Held Dewpoint Meter DM70. 0403-048 Figure 25 DM70 with the Case The following numbers refer to Figure 25 on page 55.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ (1.2 ... 20 bar), detach the flexible tube from the flowmeter. See Figure 25 on page 55. 3. Remove the inlet/outlet plugs. 4. Insert the 1/4" tubing into the IN fitting. Tighten the nut 11/4 turns with an open-ended, 14-mm spanner to make a gas-tight fitting. In future, only slight tightening with an open-ended spanner is needed to make a gas-tight fitting. Insert the tubing into the OUT fitting, if needed. 5.
Chapter 7 ____________________________________________________Sampling from Processes 1. Detach the MI70 recharger adapter from the socket of the sampling system and plug in the recharger provided with DM70. 2. Disconnect the recharger when the battery is full and put the MI70 recharger back into the case. If you want to recharge the sampling system and MI70 at the same time, connect the MI70 recharger adapter to the recharger socket on top of MI70 and recharge DSS70A as described above.

Chapter 7 ____________________________________________________Sampling from Processes 7. Put the system back into the briefcase. Changing the Filter The filter should be changed regularly as a part of maintenance. However, the need for changing the filter depends on how dirty the process is. The filter may need to be changed after several hundreds of hours or after years. A dry filter may cause increased response times. A new filter can be ordered from Vaisala (see section Accessories on page 89). 1.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Changing the Fuses Press down the fuse button and simultaneously turn it. Replace the old fuse with a new one of same type and rating (glass tube fuse 5 x 20 mm T 2 A/250 VAC). Put the fuse button back into place by pressing and turning it.
Chapter 8 ____________________________Measuring Moisture in SFB6B Gas-insulated Equipment CHAPTER 8 MEASURING MOISTURE IN SF6 GASINSULATED EQUIPMENT Overview Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) is an inert, insulating gas of high dielectric strength and thermal stability. SF6 is used to insulate high voltage lines, circuit breakers, and other equipment used in transmission and distribution of electricity. Measuring moisture is crucial for the maintenance of SF6 equipment.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ 0405-011 Figure 29 Gas Collection Option The following numbers refer to Figure 29 above. 1 2 = = Gas from GIE Gas to the collecting system Operating Environment A typical dewpoint of pure SF6 is usually around -60 °C. The recommendations for the moisture limit of the equipment insulated with gas (GIE) vary between 70 ... 810 ppmv, which corresponds to -45 ... -22 °C Td/f in the atmospheric pressure, or -29 ...
Chapter 8 ____________________________Measuring Moisture in SFB6B Gas-insulated Equipment With DSC74B, the dewpoint can be measured at the GIE pressure. If the measurement is done in the GIE pressure, DM70 is able to show the corresponding dewpoint in the atmospheric pressure. DSC74B limits the flow rate with a leakage screw. The flow rate is optimized for GIE pressures between 3 ... 10 barg, and no external flow meter is needed.

Chapter 9 _______________________________________ Calibration, Adjustment, and Maintenance CHAPTER 9 CALIBRATION, ADJUSTMENT, AND MAINTENANCE Calibration DM70 is fully calibrated and adjusted as shipped from the factory. The typical calibration interval is one year. Calibration must always be done when there is reason to believe that the device is not within the accuracy specifications.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Adjusting DM70 The reference condition of the dewpoint must be traceable to the appropriate standards. The user adjustment requires a stable humidity generator capable of producing the required humidities and a calibrated reference dewpoint meter. For adjustment, the probe and the reference dewpoint meter are connected to the humidity generator output, the reference condition is adjusted and let to stabilize.
Chapter 9 _______________________________________ Calibration, Adjustment, and Maintenance Adjusting Dewpoint Before adjusting dewpoint, first carry out the two-point, relative humidity calibration, which will ensure the basic adjustment level. When adjusting the DMP74B or DMP74C probe or DMT340 series transmitters with the M-sensor, do the sensor purge before calibration and adjustment. For details, see section Sensor Purge on page 29.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ NOTE 7. 8. To select the adjustment method, press Adjust. Select 2-point adjustment and press Select. Then press OK to continue. 9. Set the probe to a lower reference value of relative humidity 1). You can follow the stabilization from the graph display by Graph.
