Model AMT Intrinsically Safe 4-20mA Dewpoint Transmitter

4-20mA. Ranges available between -184°F to +68°F (-120°C to +20°C)

Model AMT-Ex Dew-point Transmitter is a 3-wire 4-20mA transmitter, used for continuous measurement of humidity in dry process gases or dry compressed air. The Model AMT-Ex transmitter can also be factory configured to output a linear 4-20mA signal for any other moisture unit e.g. ppm(v), ppm(w), g/m3 and lb/MMSCF etc.

  • Fast Response.
  • Low Cost Solution.
  • Simple to Install and set up.
  • Reliable.

Isolation IllustrationModel AMT-Ex is ATEX certified and provides an Intrinsically Safe Dew Point Transmitter for hazardous area use when installed with the appropriate isolator. See Illustration opposite and additional information below.

This online dew point transmitter also incorporates an Automatic Calibration (AUTOCAL) feature that allows the user to carry out a field calibration / span check. The AUTOCAL feature is operated by two small button switches built within the transmitter enclosure.

The integral RISC microprocessor circuitry of the Model AMT-Ex transmitter allows high resolution with advanced self diagnostics for fault conditions. It also enables periodic re-calibration of the moisture sensor, storing calibration data within the fully self contained unit. The mechanics of the Model AMT-Ex transmitter have been designed to cope with extreme environmental conditions. The rugged stainless steel construction offers protection to NEMA4X (IP66), with the transmitter electrical connections made via a secure industrial connector.

Model AMT-Ex transmitter can withstand 5076PSI (350bar) maximum pressure and by employing a low resistance cable, the transmitter can be located at significant distances in excess of 0.62mile (1000 metres) from the control room.

The Model AMT-Ex transmitter is supplied with a Certificate of Calibration, an instruction manual and 6.6ft (2m) connecting cable.
