3 Application Area
The new instruments DP 500/DP510 are the ideal portable service instruments for dew point
measurement for all types of driers down to -80°Ctd dew point
The 3.5” graphic display with touch screen makes the operation very easy.
The graphic indication of coloured measuring curves is unique.
Ideal for measurement of the current dew point and for graphic indication of the dew point curve/the
switching behaviour of the drier over a longer period of time.
Up to 100 million measured valued can be stored with date and measuring site name. The measured
data can be transferred to the computer via USB stick.
DP 510 additionally disposes of one further freely assignable sensor input.
Apart from the internal dew point measurement, one further optional sensor can be connected like for
example:
•Pressure sensors
•Flow sensors, VA 400/420
•Temperature sensors Pt 100, 4..20 mA
•Further dew point sensors
•Effective power meters
•Optional third-party sensors with the following signals:
0...1/10 V, 0/4...20 mA, Pt100, Pt1000, pulse, Modbus
Application ranges:
•Compressed air: Examination of refrigeration,
membrane, adsorption driers
•Technical gases: Residual moisture measurement
in gases like N2, O2 and so on
•Plastics industry: Examination of
granulate driers
•Medical compressed air/breathing air

Installation , Measurements and maintenance
DP 500 / DP 510 V1.33 Seite 10 von 96
5 Installation and measurements
We recommend the use of a measuring chamber!
5.1 Measurement with measuring chamber, connection via plug nipple
5.2 Measurement without measuring chamber, connection via external thread G1/2’’
1. Preparation of the measuring point
Let compressed air flow off at the sampling point before
measurement in order to remove condensate and particles.
This avoids a soiling of DP 500 / DP 510 and the measuring
chamber.
Stagnant air leads to long adjustment times.
If condensate occurs at the measuring point, please check the
compressed-air conditioning before measurement.
2. Switch on DP 500 / DP 510 and wait until the initialization
has been finished.
Please observe the chapter "Operation".
3. Connect the measuring chamber screwed onto DP 500 / DP
510 with the plug nipple coupling of the measuring point
4. Wait until the value in the display of DP 500 / DP 510 has
stabilized. Depending on the position of the measuring point
this may take up to 15 minutes*.
*If the DP has been used in a system with a higher dew point
for a longer period of time or has been stored in ambient air, a
longer period of time is required, especially for low dew points.
5. Disconnect the measuring chamber from the plug nipple
coupling of the measuring point after measurement. Switch off
DP 500 / DP 510 if you do not want to carry out further
measurements.
1. Preparation of the measuring point
Make sure that the measuring point is depressurized.
Please check the sampling point before measurement.
If condensate occurs at the measuring point you should check
the compressed-air conditioning before measurement.
2. Screw the DP 500 / DP 510 (without mounted measuring
chamber) into the measuring point (with internal thread G1/2“).
For mounting you should use the spanner flat (SW27)!
3. Switch on DP 500 / DP 510 and wait until the initialization
has been finished.
Please observe the chapter "Operation".
4. Charge the measuring point slowly with pressure.
5. Wait until the value in the display of DP 500 / DP 510 has
stabilized. Depending on the position of the measuring point
this may take up to 15 minutes*.
*If the DP has been used in a system with a higher dew point
for a longer period of time or has been stored in ambient air, a
longer period of time is required, especially for low dew points.
6. After measurement please drain the pressure slowly from the
measuring point.
7. Remove DP 500 / DP 510 from the measuring point. For
demounting the instrument, you should use the spanner flat
(SW 27)!
8. If you do not want to carry out further measurements please
switch off DP 500 / DP 510.
