General Hints

Installation Guidelines
Before installation, please read all instructions. The DewPro
is designed to be mounted to pressurized systems. Take all
necessary precautions when mounting or
removing the DewPro.
•
Mount the DewPro vertically whenever possible to prevent
particles or condensation from entering the bypass.
•
Mount the DewPro after a shut-off valve to depressurize the
DewPro when removing it from the process pipe in case of
maintenance or field compensation.
Do not over-tighten! The outlet fitting is connected to the
bypass block with a G 1/4 straight thread (with gasket)
which will seal if the fitting is simply hand-tightened. When
connecting an external device, counter the fitting with a
second wrench when tightening. If the inlet is equipped
with a G 1/2 straight thread and gasket, the seal is
obtained by simply hand-tightening the DewPro.
If you are installing the DewPro into a pressurized system
(up to 10 bar), depressurize the system before installing or
removing the sensor. Pressurized systems require a
stainless steel compression fitting.
