General The Xentaur digital dewpoint transmitters are designed as compact, simple and reliable instruments, which will continually monitor air dryer performance, compressed air quality and dry gas moisture, from ambient dewpoint levels to as low as -148F (-100C). Applications Xentaur dewpoint transmitters are used wherever the dew point in a gas is critical. Applications include: monitoring and control of air dryers, plastic dryers, welding and laser gases, petrochemical feedstock gases, natural gas, clean rooms, glove boxes, transformer and switch gear insulation gases, cryogenic gases, heat treating furnaces, industrial specialty gases and many more. Electronics The transmitter electronics take full advantage of state of the art microprocessor technology and offer many advanced intelligent features. With optional dual alarms, analog and digital outputs, the Xentaur dewpoint transmitters can be used as indicators, alarm units or controllers. Programmable Alarm Relays Option The two optional alarm relays can be independently programmed to switch at any dewpoint with variable hysteresis, which makes the transmitter ideally suited as an energy saving controller for desiccant dryers in dew point demand mode or safety cutoff in process control, high power laser, etc. The status of the relays is shown on the display with flashing HI or LO indicators while displaying the dewpoint. Analog and Digital Outputs Options Analog and digital outputs are isolated from the sensor.
Model XDTOEM is a stand allone board suitable for mounting in existing enclosures. Connections are made through a pluggable screw terminal block which allows cables to leave the board vertically or horizontally. The electronic board can be broken into two parts and sandwiched to accomodate space constraints. (See insert.)
Model XDT-PM houses the transmitter in a panel mount industry standard DIN 43700 box, 3 (7.5cm) deep. Connections are made through a pluggable screw terminal block. The panel mount model is available with the push buttons on the outside of the front pannel (shown above) or with the push buttons hidden behind the front panel.
Model XDT-NEMA houses the transmitter in a NEMA 4 (IP65) enclosure. Ideally suited for the factory floor.
The HTF Aluminum Oxide sensor is the product of years of intensive research at Xentaurs laboratories and has been thoroughly field proven. HTF technology offers significant performance advantages over all other aluminum oxide moisture sensors. High Capacitance Response: Due to a hyper-thin film and a special activation process, Xentaur sensors have a capacitance change over their full range, several orders of magnitude Hyper-Thin-Film vs. Conventional Al2O3 Sensor Change of Capacitance with Dewpoint larger than that of 200 200 conventional alumi150 150 num oxide sensors. Additionally, this 100 100 change is quasi linHTF Technology ear and its sensitivConventional 50 50 ity to temperature is negligible. 0 0 The advantages of Dewpoint ( C) a linear high capacitance response are: better sensitivity, better repeatability and faster response times. Also, the measurement system is less prone to noise and drift, and signal conditioning is kept to a minimum. Interchangeable Sensors HTF Al2O3 high capacitance sensors can be manufactured with high uniformity. Consequently, sensors are freely interchangeable without factory calibration or changing of EPROMS, as is required with conventional aluminum oxide sensors. Spancheck without reference standards: Xentaur high capacitance sensors have a very low residual capacitance when dry, and saturate at a predesigned level of humidity above +68F (+20C). This allows a span check of the sensor by cupping the sensor in the palm of ones hand for one minute, and adjusting the instrument to its upper range limit. The advantages of this span check system are obvious: Xentaur sensors can be field calibrated anywhere, anytime without using expensive and cumbersome calibration standards. Sensors do not have to be returned to the factory for recalibration, which also eliminates the need for a second stand-by sensor. Waterproof Sensors Xentaur sensors are available in waterproof versions. Waterproof sensors can be fully immersed in water and will go back into operation after drying down. Advanced Mechanical Sensor Design Xentaur sensors have been designed for the requirements of tough industrial environments. The sensor element is encapsulated in a 100 micron stainless steel sintered filter. The filter housing is screwed onto a stainless steel sensor
