INTRODUCTION
1 INTRODUCTION
The SF52 dew-point transmitter is a simple, cost effective sensor designed for use in
harsh industrial dryer applications where reliability and toughness are required at an
economical cost.
The SF52 is available with a choice of G ½” and ½” NPT process connections and
voltage or mA outputs. A key feature of the unit is the recessed and protected measuring
element giving an extended sensor life cycle.
Michell's polymer based sensor is calibrated on a high volume traceable calibration
system, providing OEM quantities of units on short deliveries, each with a 3 point
calibration certificate.
1.1 Features
• Ideal for OEM dryer use
• Dew-point measurement range -40 to +60°C (-40 to +140°F)
• Fast response
• Rugged IP65 construction
• 3-point traceable calibration certificate
• Accuracy ±2°C
• Voltage or mA outputs
The SF52 is available with a voltage output (0 to 1 V, 0 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V) or
a current output (4 - 20 mA 3 wire).
The current output has a 3 point diagnostic option:
Sensor fault 23 mA
Under-range dew point 4 mA
Over-range dew point 20 mA
These three values are standard factory programmed and are normally switched off.
Other diagnostic settings are available, please contact Michell Instruments for further
information.

INSTALLATION
2.3 Transmitter Mounting
Take care to prevent any contamination of the sensor before installation (handle the
transmitter by the main body only, avoiding contact with the filter disc).
The SF52 can be mounted either into a flow-through sensor sampling block (optional)
or directly into a pipe or duct. It can be operated at pressures of up to 2 MPa (20 barg
/ 290 psig) when fitted with the bonded seal provided.
The recommended gas flow rate, when mounted in the optional sampling block, is 1 to
5 Nl/min (2.1 to 10.6 scfh). However, for direct insertion applications, gas flow can be
from static to 10 m/sec (32.8 fps).
NOTE: Pass the seal over the mounting thread and assemble into the sampling
location, by hand, using the wrench flats only.
When installed, fully tighten using a wrench until the seal is fully compressed and to the
following torque settings:
• G ½” BSP 56 Nm (41.3 ft-lbs)
• ½” NPT 56 Nm (41.3 ft-lbs)
