Section 1: Introduction 1.0 Overview of the XDT The XDT is a microprocessor based hygrometer, for measuring moisture content in gases in the range from -100°C to +20°C dewpoint depending on the sensor ordered. The XDT uses the Xen- taur Hyper Thin Film HTF™ sensor which is encapsulated in sintered stainless steel, thus it is capable of coming into contact with a wide variety of environments. However one should keep in mind that the sensor is a delicate device and it should be handled accordin

Section 2: Sensor and Sampling Techniques 2.3.1 In-situ Installation In-situ installation is recommended only for measurements where the gas pressure is expected to vary little, the gas is expected to be free of contaminants, the gas temperature is within the operat- ing specifications of the sensor, and there is no chance of liquids coalescing. Examples of applica- tions suited for in-situ installations are: pure gases, output of desiccant dryers (for instrument air), glove boxes, etc. For mo

Section 2: Sensor and Sampling Techniques inside these materials. Try to run pipes to the sensor upwards, so that contaminants tend to fall back into the main line. Keep the length of the sample line to the sensor as short as possible. Use small diameter pipes (1/4” or 1/8” OD). Use sufficient flow rates (e.g. 1 l/min with 6 feet of 1/8” piping is adequate). The flow rate will influence the systems’ response time. Do not install any devices upstream of the sensor, such as other measu

XDT User’s Manual 2.5 Troubleshooting unexpected readings If erroneous readings are suspected on a newly acquired instrument, compare the serial number engraved on the sensor sintered filter, to the label on the instrument. The two should be the same; if they are not, the instrument may not be calibrated with the installed sensor. To troubleshoot other problems, identify the unexpected reading category in the following table, and consider the possible causes and appropriate diagnostic action
