Application area
DP 400 mobil V1.00 EN Seite 5 von 15
2 Application area
The portable dew point measuring device in a robust case has been specially developed for field
applications. The device has a high-precision digital dew point sensor. In addition to the dew point
(pressure dew point), the temperature, relative humidity, absolute humidity (g / m³) as well as other
moisture values are measured. Integrated pressure measurement up to 16 bar.
The measuring gas / compressed air is connected via PTFE hose to the 6mm plug connections.
The operation is carried out via the clear 3.5 "touch screen. The optional data logger enables the
recording of all measured values over hours, days or weeks (100 million measured values of storage
capacity)
Any analogue sensors (0/4 - 20 mA, 0 - 1/10/30 V), pulse) are easy and fast to configure. Digital
sensors can be connected via RS 485, Modbus RTU.
Optional:
Network-capable and data transmission worldwide via Ethernet, integrated web server.
3 Intended use
The dew point measuring device with data logger DP 400 mobile is designed for portable data
acquisition and storage of analog and digital input signals.
The DP 400 mobil is designed and designed exclusively for the intended use as described herein and
may only be used accordingly.
The user must check whether the device is suitable for the selected application. Ensure that the medium
is compatible with the media-bearing parts. The technical data in the data sheet are binding.
Incorrect handling or operation outside the technical specifications is prohibited. Claims of any kind due
to improper use are excluded.

7.2 Measurement dew point
7.2.1 Measurement test set up/ test procedure
The maximum operating pressure is 15 bar.
It is important that the media connections are correctly plugged in and the
connection hoses are correctly installed.
Otherwise, the pressure tightness / strength of the device is compromised.
Before disconnecting the DP 400 mobile from the gas line, it is necessary to vent
the system to atmospheric pressure, otherwise serious injuries may occur.
Note:
At delivery, the dew point measuring device is designed in such a way that the sample gas is
introduced via the medium inlet (6 mm plug input) and with a direct flow out at the medium outlet, see
figure.
For applications of gases other than compressed air, it is mandatory to change the
media outflow (gas out) and to lead out it safely via a suitable line.
S“Gas Out“ direct flow out

Installation / Connection / Measurement
DP400 mobil V1.00 EN Seite 11 von 15
Test procedure:
1.) Both controls , Medium and dry container, have to be closed completely
2.) Remove red seal plug and connect the gas input line at „ Gas In“.
3.) For measurements with gases, except compressed air, the „Gas out“ is to change to a suitable
line output.A secure gas flow out is to ensure.
4.) The tightness of all connections is to be checked and ensured.
5.) Switch on the display / datalogger. (to press switch on/off button >=3 sec )
6.) Slowly open the control "Medium", max. until the red mark is visible.
7.) Allow the gas to flow until the display shows a stable reading.
8.) Switch off the unit after completing the measurement
9.) Before disassembling the connections, the system must be vented to atmospheric pressure.
The measuring point should be as close as possible to the critical measuring point in order to obtain a
truly representative measurement. The length of the DP 400 mobile cable should be as short as
possible. Only use PTFE piping (supplied) or stainless steel.
7.2.2 Display / data logger
The display of the DP 400 mobils is at time of delivery already preconfigurated.
In addition to the pressure up to 16bar, the dew point (pressure dew point), the temperature, relative
humidity, absolute humidity (g / m³) as well as other moisture values are measured
The humidity values are indicated in display channel A1 as well as the pressure on channel B1.
The DP 400 mobile provides an optional data logger for recording the measured values. (Storage
capacity 100 million measured values)
For more details, see instruction manual DS 400 mobil chapter data logger.

The existing drying container should be activated between the measurements or especially during
longer periods of interruption and storage. This is to protect the moisture sensor from excessively high
moisture and thus to ensure fast response times.

The operation is largely self-explanatory and menu-driven via the touch panel.
The selection of the respective menu items occur via short "tapping" with the finger or a soft round pen.
Attention: Please use no pens or other objects with sharp edges!
The foil can be damaged!
The DP 400 mobile is pre-configured, i.e.the pressure dew point, temperature, pressure as well as rel.
humidity are displayed directly on the start screen. Configuration is freely definable, up to 5 different
values can be displayed.

The data logger option must be ordered and enabled separately.
For a detailed description of the operation, use of datalogger, the free digital and analog inputs etc.,
please refer to the operating manual DS 400 mobile.

Cleaning
DP 400 mobil V1.00 EN Seite 14 von 15
10 Cleaning Display
Note:
The DP 400 mobil has a cleaning-function which protects the display against
unintentional operation in the event of cleaning measures
Cleaning of the DP 400 mobil must be undertaken using a slightly damp (not wet) cotton cloth or one-
way wipe, and mild, commercially available cleaner/soap.
For decontamination, spray the cleaner on an unused cotton cloth or one-way wipe, and wipe the
component comprehensively. Perform the final drying with a clean cloth or by air drying.
In addition, the local hygiene provisions need to be observed.
Warning!
Damage possible!
A too high degree of humidity and hard and pointed objects, as well as
aggressive cleaners, cause damage to the data logger and to the integrated
electronic components.
Measures
•Never clean with a soaked cloth.
•Do not use aggressive cleaners.
•Do not use pointed or hard objects for cleaning.
