Vaisala DRYCAP®Dewpoint Transmitter DMT242

USER'S GUIDE June 2008 |M010036EN-D

INTRODUCTION

DMT242 is a dewpoint transmitter for wide range of OEM applications. DMT242 measures dewpoint

with excellent long term stability which is maintained automatically with the patented auto-calibration

procedure. The Vaisala DRYCAP®polymer sensor technology used in DMT242 is also durable against

dew in case condenced water exists in the process during system malfunction. The product mechanics

have been designed for harsh environments requiring protection against dust, dirt and splashed water.

The disconnection and reconnection of the transmitter is easy with the connector where the output signal

and supply voltage wires are connected. The unit also has a serial line for rescaling the analog output.

PRESSURE SETTING PROCEDURE FOR PRESSURIZED PROCESSES

For achieving the most accurate measurements

in pressurized processes, set the process

pressure to DMT242 according to Figure 1 by

using the pressure switches (see Figure 3, item

8). As shipped from factory, the pressure

switch setting is 1 bar, as in switch number 4 in

the ON position.

MOUNTING

1. Insert the sealing washer (see Figure 1) on

the probe and set the probe through the

fitting of the process pipe. The probe has

G½" ISO 228/1 parallel thread.

2. Fasten the transmitter to the fitting of the

process pipe by tightening from the nut of

the probe (24 mm).

WIRING

1. Remove the cover.

2. Take out the connector.

3. Take out the screw terminal from the

connector by pushing it out, for example,

with the fixing screw.

4. Use a three-wire cable. Suitable 2 m or

10 m optional cable is available from

Vaisala (items: 221475 for 2 m cable and

221476 for 10 m cable). Connect the wires

to the connector terminals as follows:

5. Insert the wired screw terminal back into the connector excatly in the position indicated in Figure 3.

Push the fixing screw through the connector. Fasten the cable clamp. Insert the wired connector into

the counter connector.

NOTE The connection is incompatible if the positioning of the screw terminal is NOT as

indicated in Figure 3. Fasten the fixing screw.

6. Install the back cover allowing the cable to run through the hole in the cover. The transmitter is ready

for use.

NOTE When the power is switched on, wait about 7 minutes before taking measurements.

Start-up self-diagnostics freeze the output during the first operation minutes.

CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE

Replacing the sintered filter

If the sintered filter is dirty it can prolong the response time of the measurement. If the filter needs to be

changed unscrew the filter and replace the old filter with a new one.

Calibration

It is recommended to perform a calibration check every other year. A field check can be carried out by

using a calibrated reference probe and comparing the readings measured with the transmitter and the

reference probe. The Vaisala DRYCAP®Hand-Held Dewpoint Meter DM70 is ideal for confirming the

performance of the transmitter in the field. By using a connection cable the readings of DMT242 and

DM70 can be viewed simultaneously on the display of DM70. If there is need for adjustement contact

Vaisala Instruments Service Centers or local Vaisala representative.

SCALING THE ANALOG OUTPUT VIA THE SERIAL BUS

Serial communication settings

The analog output scaling can be done using the serial bus and computer with suitable terminal software.

Connect the DMT242 to a serial bus via the RS-232 interface by using the following settings: Baud rate:

2400, Parity: none, Data bits: 8, Stop bits: 1. The serial cable (DMT242RS) can be ordered from Vaisala.

Scaling of the dewpoint output

Scale the dewpoint parameter by giving the command ascl xx yy<ENTER> where xx = the low limit

(°C or ºF) and yy = the high limit (°C or ºF). The factory setting for serial measurement unit is

Centigrade (°C). To change the unit for Fahrenheit (ºF) use command unit xx <ENTER> where xx = n

for non-metric (ºF) and xx = mfor metric (°C) units.
