Chapter 1: Installation
1.1 Introduction
The HygroPro Moisture Transmitter is a compact, intrinsically-safe,
loop-powered, 4-20 mA transmitter that provides accurate dew/frost
point measurements over a range of –110 to 20°C (-166 to 68°F). It
features an integrated display and a six-button keypad, and it is
housed in an IP67/Type 4X enclosure.
The HygroPro transmitter uses an aluminum oxide moisture sensor,
and it includes a temperature thermistor and a pressure transducer on
a common mount for calculation of parameters such as:
•ppmvin gases
•ppmwin liquids
•pounds per million standard cubic feet in natural gas
•process relative humidity.
IMPORTANT: To install the HygroPro in a hazardous (classified) area,
see Hazardous Area Wiring Connections on page 15.

1.2 Sample System Guidelines
The HygroPro transmitter can be installed in a sample system or
directly in the process line. However, GE recommends that the unit be
installed in a sample system to protect the probe from potentially
damaging components in the process stream. Figure 1 below shows a
typical sample system.
Figure 1: A Typical Sample System
Note: At least 5 ft (1.5 m) of 1/4” (6 mm) tubing vented to
atmosphere will ensure an accurate process sample and avoid
diffusion of ambient air moisture back into the process.

1.2 Sample System Guidelines (cont.)
In the sample system shown in Figure 1 on the previous page, fully
open Valve 1 and use Valve 2 to regulate the sample flow for
measurements at process system pressure. For measurements at
atmospheric pressure, fully open Valve 2 and use Valve 1 to regulate
the sample flow.
Before constructing a sample system, consult a GE application
engineer and observe the following guidelines:
•The sample system should be very simple and should contain as
few components as possible. All or most of those components
should be located downstream of the measurement point.
•Sample system components must not affect moisture readings.
Most common filters and pressure regulators are not suitable for
sample systems because the wetted parts adsorb moisture or
release moisture into the sample system. They may also allow
ambient contamination to enter the sample system. If possible, use
stainless steel for all wetted parts.
•The HygroPro probe should be oriented perpendicular to the
sample system inlet. For dimensions and other sample system
requirements see Mechanical Specifications on page 46.
•Sample systems should be tested for leaks prior to operation, using
a Snoop leak detector, to verify the integrity of connections,
components and fittings.
IMPORTANT: When pressurizing or depressurizing the sample system,
be careful to avoid shock damage to the moisture sensor.

1.3 Mounting the Transmitter
!CAUTION!
If the HygroPro will be installed directly into the process
line, consult GE for proper installation instructions and
precautions before proceeding.
Refer to Figure 2 below and complete the steps on the next page to
install the HygroPro transmitter.
