User instructions
The two pressure dew point probes guarantee quick
and accurate dew point measurement.
The probe was developed in cooperation with a world
market leader in the compressed air engineering
sector.
The standard probe 0636.9835 is sufficient for most
measurements in compressed-air piping (e.g.
refrigeration dryers in the range from 0 to 2 °C tpd).
The precision probe 0636.9836 is the ideal probe for
highly accurate measurements in the remaining
humidity range (e.g. in adsorption dryers to
-50 °C tpd).
The pressure dew point tpd is the temperature at which
compressed air reaches the saturation state (100%
RH). This value is an important criteria for the perfect
running of the compressed air plant.
The probe is connected to the compressed air system
via a standard plug-in connector (G1/4” internal thread
to ISO 228-1) or via a screw-on adapter for
measurements at test points. If required other
standard plug-in connectors with thread G 1/4” can be
screwed into measuring chamber.
The sensor is positioned in the flow of compressed air
being measured, for the duration of the measurement.
The probes can be used, without a measuring
chamber, in accordance with the Instruction Manual
for the testo x35 instruments.
By connecting the probe to testo x35 the user has a
portable, mains independent measuring system. The
large display enables the
display of the relative humidity or the dew point with
the temperature.

Safety instructions
Read
before using the instrument
Please read the Instruction Manual belonging to the measuring instrument.
Do not exceed the permissible pressure range.
Observe the measuring range of the sensor.
Overheating can destroy the probe.
Observe the permissible storage and transport temperature
as well as the permissible operating temperature
(e.g. protect the measuring instrument from direct sunlight).
If the instrument is opened, improperly handled of if force is applied,
the warranty will no longer be valid.

Operating instructions
The pressure dew point probe
Place the measuring chamber on the humidity probe
adapter and screw on tightly by hand.
The humidity probe can also be used without the PTFE
sintered cap, in which case the response times are
shorter. However, the probes can become dirty or
damaged during assembly or application.
If possible always use a sintered cap with the probe. A
metal protection cage (Order no. 0554.0755) can be
used with absolute oil-free compressed air.
Connect the probe to the instrument
In order to obtain a real measuring value, let
compressed air escape from the outlet for about 10
seconds.
Connect the humidity probe to the compressed air
plant. Compressed air flows out of the capillary wire
(shortening of the response times).
6
Make sure that the measuring chamber and
the valve are not dirty.
The reduction of pressure at the outlet leads to a
physical reduction in the pressure dew point value.
See the table in appendix B.

Valve to
control the
air flow rate
Using the valve you are able to control the air
flow rate which flows off to get an optimized
response time with the humidity sensor
Measuring
The response time is 1 to 5 minutes (typically
2 minutes). Wait until the measured values are
stable (approx. 60 s without a change in the
measured values).
7
The storage of the humidity probe in areas with
temperature and humidity values which differ
considerably from those of the compressed air
being measured, and dirty sensors or sintered
caps increase the response times.
Please read the instrument instruction manual
before the switching on the instrument, in order
to avoid incorrect measuring results and
damage to the instrument.
Maintenance
A robust, long-term stable humidity sensor is located
in the probe head.
Depending on the application and dirt which has
gathered, we recommend a quarterly to yearly control
with our 0554.0660 control and calibration set. See
the instructions on page 10.
Clean dirty sensors with alcohol (isopropanol) or
distilled water.
Unscrew the measuring chamber and the PTFE
sintered cap.
Dip the sensor in the alcohol, rinse in distilled water
and then leave to dry in the air.
Put the PTFE sintered cap back on and screw tightly.
Faulty sensors can be replaced, please contact our
service department.
Dirty PTFE sintered caps can also be cleaned in
alcohol or in distilled water. Impurities can be blown
out with compressed air. Always blow out the cap
from the inside.
Dirty measuring chambers can also be cleaned in
alcohol or in distilled water, or purged with
compressed air.
Should the measuring chamber be faulty, please
contact our service department.

Do not touch or knock the sensor.
Control and calibration options
The control and calibration set (Order no.: 0554.0660)
is used to control and calibrate humidity probes. The
set consists of two special containers.
With the aid of different saline solutions, air mixtures
with defined relative humidities are produced (for
additional information see the Instruction Manual
“Control and calibration set for humidity sensors”).
As part of the accreditation as a calibration laboratory
for the parameters “Relative humidity” and
“Dew point” the values for the relative humidity over
the saturated lithium chloride (LiCl) and sodium
chloride (NaCl) solutions were newly specified at testo.
These improved values also apply to all of the control
and calibration sets already delivered. Ignore the
values specified up to now.

Control and calibration options
General information
The humdity probes 0636.9835 and 0636.9836
undergo a comprehensive calibration procedure at
testo. Before control and calibration, the probes must
be stored at a constant temperature (+20 to +30 °C)
for approximately 12 hours. The minimum adjustment
time is 15 minutes in the test container with screwed in
probes.
Control and/or calibration
Standard probe 0636.9835
- Carefully screw off the PTFE sintered cap
- Screw off the protective sleeve
- Screw the probe into the test container LiCl (11.3%)
- 15 minute adjustment time
- Control on the hand-held instrument display
- Calibrate, if necessary, by pressing
P1 = 11.3%RH ± 2%RH
- Screw out the probe from the LiCl test container
- Screw the probe into the NaCl (75.3%) test
container
- 15 minute adjustment time
- Control on the hand-held instrument display
- Calibrate, if necessary, by pressing
P2 = 75.3%RH ± 2%RH
- Screw out the probe from the NaCl test container
- Carefully screw on the PTFE sintered cap
- Screw on the protective sleeve tightly
Precision probe 0636.9836
In addition to the standard calibration the precision
probe is subjected to a fine calibration in the factory at
-40 °C pressure dew point.
A control with the control and calibration set is
possible. The salt containers are not suitable for
calibrating the precision probe. A precision calibration
can only be carried out at testo or with corresponding
highly accurate reference systems (dew point mirror
measuring instruments for compressed air).
