If the installation is NOT into a Michell sample block please take note of the following
to ensure correct installation is undertaken.
O-ring
seal nut
1. Ensure the O-ring is located correctly within the O-ring groove of the
process connection and that there is no contamination or debris on its
exposed surfaces.
2. Ensure that the sealing face of the transmitter mounting is normal to the
thread (0.08mm/25mm (0.003”/1”)run).
3. Ensure that the O-ring mating sealing surface is 0.8 Ra (0.8µm) or better.
4. Ensure that the mating connection thread is cut to the correct size (¾”
UNF x 16) with a minimum chamfer of 1mm (0.04”).
5. Screw the transmitter into the sample block and, whilst holding the flats
on the block, tighten the seal nut to 40Nm (29.5 lbf-ft) to compress the
O-ring.

Easidew PRO XP User’s Manual INSTALLATION
6. Rotate the enclosure to the desired position (up to 360° available) and
tighten the large clamping nut (32mm 1¼”) to 10Nm (7.4 lbf-ft) to ensure
dowty seal is correctly compressed for environmental protection (see
Appendix B.1).
The recommended fluid flow rate, when mounted in the optional sample block, is 1 to
5 l/min (2.1 to 10.6 scfh). However, for direct insertion applications, the flow can be
from static to 10 m/sec (32.8 fps).
When mounting the Easidew PRO XP into a liquid sample the flow rate must be between
0.1 and 0.3 l/min (0.2 and 0.6 scfh).
Consideration should be taken regarding draining the sample fluid at times when the
transmitter needs to be removed for maintenance or calibration.
It would be beneficial for the Easidew PRO XP to be mounted in a vertical position (with
the sensor pointing down) to allow for easy removal when necessary.

Easidew PRO XP User’s Manual OPERATION
3 OPERATION
The Easidew PRO XP is factory configured either as °Cdp (default) or °Fdp (North
America). The Easidew PRO XP can be re-configured by the customer, using the
Easidew XP Communications Kit (XP-CK) and Easidew Application Software. The
Easidew Communications Kit can be purchased from Michell Instruments or a local
representative. For a free copy of the Application Software contact Michell Instruments’
UK office (see www.michell.com for details of Michell’s contact information).
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 3000
ppmW over the temperature range 0 to +50°C (+32 to +122°F). 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.
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 an anti-clockwise direction.
The lid must be replaced after using the display meter and the
grub screw tightened.
A full explanation of the operation and configuration of the integral display meter is
detailed in Appendix D.
Michell Instruments 19
OPERATION Easidew PRO XP User’s Manual
Operation is very simple, assuming the following installation techniques are adhered to:
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.
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
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
Michell Instruments offers a range of sampling systems (for more information contact
www.michell.com).
Michell 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 tube 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.

4.1 Calibration
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

The Easidew PRO XP has 3 standard ranges and scales which are as follows:
EA-XP-LQ-TX 0-1000ppmW
The EA-XP-TX units will be configured for the range/scale ordered (as above) and will constantly
display the measured value. The display meter will have a stick-on label defining the scale in °C DP.

°C DP
If ordered with a non-standard range/scale the unit could be set up with the following:
°F DP
lbs/MMSCF
ppmV
ppmW
mg/m3
Alternatively, an Easidew PRO XP Communication Kit (XP-CK) can be used to change the range/scale
and this Kit will be shipped with its own manual and 2 additional sets of scaling labels so that the
label can be changed as required.
