General Description
The Shaw Moisture Meters Model AcuDew is a 2-wire 4-20 mA loop powered
transmitter, used for continuous measurement of moisture in a process gas or
compressed air. The Model AcuDew transmitter can be factory configured to
output a 4-20 mA linear signal for any of the following moisture units: – °C
or °F dewpoint, ppm(v), ppb(v), g/m3 and lb/MMSCF.
The ultra high capacitance SHAW sensing element is long lasting and offers
excellent sensitivity, repeatability and response speed. Each unit is
calibrated, traceable to International Humidity Standards and supplied with a
Certificate of Calibration guaranteeing accuracy to ± 2 °C dewpoint.
The transmitter also incorporates an Automatic Calibration (AutoCal) feature,
which allows the user to carry out field calibration/span check. The AutoCal
feature is operated by means of a small potentiometer built into the
transmitter body. To avoid accidental corruption, the potentiometer is covered
by a weatherproof seal in normal use.
It is recommended that the AcuDew is calibrated at regular intervals to
maintain accuracy. Annual laboratory calibration is recommended. The RISC
microprocessor circuitry of the Model AcuDew transmitter allows high
resolution with advanced self-diagnostics for fault conditions. It also
enables periodic recalibration of the dewpoint sensor, storing calibration
data within
the fully self-contained unit. Loop powered, by a 7 to 28V DC source, the
Model AcuDew transmitter will provide the user with a linear 4-20 mA signal
over the chosen range.
The mechanics of the Model AcuDew transmitter have been designed to cope with
extreme environmental conditions. The rugged stainless steel construction
offers protection to IP66 (NEMA 4X), with the transmitter electrical
connections made via secure industrial type connector (M12 5 pin cable
connector).
The AcuDew transmitter can withstand 35000kPa (350bar) maximum pressure and by
employing low resistance cable, the transmitter can be located at significant
distances, in excess of 1000 metres from the data collection point.
Designed with the operator in mind, for reliable and accurate measurements,
the Model AcuDew is extremely easy to install and operate, requiring little or
no maintenance.

Gas Compatibilities
The Model AcuDew sensing elements are Al2O3 and therefore suitable for many
different industrial and research applications.
Most gases can be checked for their moisture content with no need for the
calibration to be altered when changing between different gases, as the sensor
operates only with reference to the water vapour content. However, some gases
must be avoided, as they are not compatible with the material used in the
construction of the sensor. Ammonia (NH3) and Chlorine (Cl2) must be avoided
at all times, even in small quantities. Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) also attacks
the sensors very quickly. Some, less aggressive, acidic gases, such as Sulphur
Dioxide
(SO2), can be monitored, as long as the moisture content is low, generally
less than 100 ppm(v). If in doubt, please ask your supplier.
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has no effect on the sensor. If the gas has been
exposed to arcing, however, it is possible that various acidic species will
have been
formed that will corrode the sensor. When testing SF6 that may have been
arced, therefore, an acidity test should be carried out first; if the gas
proves to be acidic then the moisture test should not be carried out.
It is strongly recommended that the sample should not contain particulate
matter, oil or other heavy hydrocarbon condensate. If these components
contaminate the sample system and/or the measuring sensor, the system response
time will be lengthened, although the sensor calibration will not be effected.
Installing the AcuDew in an Air/Gas Sampling System
The piping installation schematic diagram shows all components, which could be
used in a gas measurement application. Not all items shown will be required
for every installation.
The flow rate, although not critical, should be low enough to avoid abrasion
to the sensor surface without being so low as to extend the system response
time to an unacceptable level. In general, a flow rate of between two and
three litres/min at normal temperature and pressure, will give the right
balance.
The sensor is a variable capacitor, which is directly affected by changes in
partial pressure of water vapour. These changes are proportional to the
dewpoint/frost point temperature.
The measuring transmitter can be installed directly into the process line but
this does create problems with access for maintenance and calibration. It is
for these reasons that we recommend that the transmitter be installed in a
bypass, fast loop or total loss sample system where the transmitter is
accessible without interrupting the main process flow line.
The AcuDew transmitter is suitable for use with:
-
Model AcuTrak inline hygrometer
-
Model AcuVu single channel dewpoint hygrometer
-
Model AcuLoop, a self-contained, 4-20 mA loop powered plug in dewpoint display module
-
SU4 sample system
The following accessories are also available for the AcuDew transmitter: -
Sensor Holder for installation of the AcuDew into a process line or sample system
Piping Installation Schematic
Notes
a. The sample pipe should be on the upper surface of the horizontal pipe or on
a vertical section of pipe wherever possible.
b. The sample tube should run continually upwards from the sample point. If
this is not possible then an inspection port or drain tap should be installed
at the lowest point in the system.
Piping Schematic Component Index
- Sample Isolation Valve – This is a recommended item as it allows access to the sample system without interrupting the main process line.
- Filter Unit – A filter unit is recommended when the samples are likely to contain particulate matter. If the air/gas sample contains heavy hydrocarbon condensate, the filter must be of the coalescing type with a drain. The filter unit should be positioned as close to the sample point as practical.
- Sample Tube – This should be stainless steel for dry air or gas applications but copper or carbon steel can be used where wetter gases are to be measured. If any section of the sample tube must be flexible then PTFE should be used. In most cases, 3 mm OD (1/8”) is sufficient as it provides good system response time within minimum flow. 6 mm OD (1/4”) tube can be used where pressure drops across the 3 mm tube are too high.
- Pressure Reduction Valve or Pressure Regulator – If the sample is to be measured at atmospheric pressure then the valve 4A should be fitted and 4B omitted from the system. If the sample is to be measured, at full line pressure and the exhaust vented to atmosphere, then valve 4B should be fitted and 4A omitted from the system. If measurements are to be taken at full line pressure and the sample is to be returned to a part of the main line or a vent, which is at a pressure higher than atmospheric, and the input to that line needs a controlled pressure then both 4A and 4B will be required.
- Sample Pressure Gauge – This is not a critical part of the moisture measurement but may be required if dew point/ frost point measurements are to be made at higher than atmospheric pressure.
- Measuring Transmitter, see “Appendix C – AcuDew with Connector, General Arrangement”.
- Transmitter Holder, see “Appendix E – Transmitter Holder General Arrangement”.
- Desiccant Chamber – This item is required when the sampling is to be intermittent. When installed, it prevents the ingress of wet air to the sample system while the sample is not flowing, improving the response time. Flow Control Valve – This can be a separate item or combined with the flow indicator.
- Flow Indicator – The recommended sample flow is 2-5 litres/min.
- Sample Exhaust – The exhaust can be vented to atmosphere or returned to the process line as discussed above.
Installing and Commissioning
The AcuDew dewpoint transmitter can be installed in three general ways:
- Directly in to the process line.
- As part of a sample conditioning system using a Shaw Moisture Meters sensor holder.
- Using the AcuLoop display module.
Before installing the dewpoint transmitter, it is advisable to carry out an
initial purge routine of the sample loop in order to remove the possibility of
sensor damage on start-up.
Refer to the sample system schematic in section 2.2. Open the inlet isolation
valve slowly, until a small flow of air/gas at atmospheric pressure flows
through the inlet pipe work to the transmitter holder and exhausts through the
sensor entry port of the transmitter holder.
Allow this purge to continue for approximately 15-20 minutes to remove any
residual moisture from the sample pipe work and components.
Close the inlet isolation valve and install the transmitter into the
transmitter holder. Locate and secure the M12 5 pin cable connector positioned
on the transmitter. Align the keyed groove in the connector with the keyed
notch in the AcuDew. Push inwards and screw the locking ring clockwise in
order to affect a weatherproof seal.
NOTE: The M12 connector is a single direction keyed groove.
Slowly open the inlet valve again and by opening all valves after the
transmitter holder, allow a low pressure purge through the whole sample
system.
Set the required pressures and flows within the sample loop.
This completes the installation and commissioning but on initial start-up, it
could take several hours for the system to reach equilibrium
Connecting the AcuDew
Connector Pins
AcuDew 4 – 20 mA Cable Assembly
The cable assembly consists of a M12 5 pin cable connector used in conjunction
with a 2 core
7/0.2 mm cable. Details of wiring can be found in Appendix D.
Connecting the AcuDew Cable
Align the keyed groove in the connector with the keyed notch in the AcuDew,
push inwards and screw the locking ring clockwise finger tight.
Connecting the AcuLoop
To connect the AcuLoop display to the AcuDew:
- Disconnect the connector from the AcuDew by turning the locking ring counter-clockwise.
- Screw this connector on to the back connection of the AcuLoop display.
- Align the keyed notch and keyed groove.
- Gently push the AcuLoop display on to the AcuDew turning the locking ring clockwise to secure.
Connecting the AcuDew t o an AcuTrak The AcuTrak displays a digital readout of
the 4-20 mA input signal derived from
an attached AcuDew.
The AcuTrak indicator has:
- A five digit, red LED display, relay ON/OFF indication.
- Process control with two adjustable alarm set points.
- An analogue output.
- RS485 serial communications.
Alarm set points can be adjusted via the keys on the front panel.
Wiring the AcuDew
The AcuDew is a 2-wire, 4-20 mA transmitter. Typical electrical connection to
generate a voltage output is shown below.
Note: the maximum value for Rs in this circuit can be calculated by the
formula:
Rs max = [40 x (Vs – 7)]Ω
If the wiring resistance is expected to be more than a few percent of the
value of Rs, then this resistance must be taken away from the answer to get
the maximum usable value of Rs.
Normal Operation
Analogue 4-20 mA Mode (2-wire)
In normal operation, the transmitter will produce a 4-20 mA signal, which is
proportional to the level of moisture in the gas being monitored. The moisture
reading is sampled and updated once per second. The AcuDew has 3,020 distinct
steps over the 4-20 mA range corresponding to a resolution of 0.005 mA.
AutoCal
AutoCal allows the user to ensure accuracy to the laboratory calibration by checking the span of the transmitter and correcting for any deviation. It should be operated periodically, every two to three months or can be used to verify operation of the AcuDew transmitter if confirmation of an unexpected result is required.
Note:
The AcuDew must be connected to an indicator or a device that is able to
supply an accurate measurement of the mA output.
Pre-conditioning the Transmitter
To perform AutoCal, the transmitter needs to be removed from the process gas
at which point the display/indicator will read the ambient dewpoint or full
scale (if the ambient dewpoint level is above the range of the AcuDew). Expose
the transmitter to the known AutoCal moisture level and allow the transmitter
to attain equilibrium.
(For technical questions and advice on the time taken to attain equilibrium contact your AcuDew supplier.)
Method 1: Expose to a known moisture level
(Applicable to all versions of AcuDew transmitters.)
If a known gas is available within the range of the transmitter, then the
AcuDew can be autocaled against this value.
Method 2: Saturating method
(Only applicable to 0 °C (+32 °F) and -20 °C (-4 °F) top end range AcuDew
transmitters.)
When the AcuDew sensing element is exposed to dewpoint levels above the top
end range of the transmitter, the sensor will saturate and the transmitter can
be autocaled to 0 °C or -20 °C. For both 0 °C and -20 °C transmitters, ambient
dewpoint is usually adequate to saturate the sensor.
Method 3: Set against ambient moisture level
(Only applicable to +20 °C (+68 °F) top end range AcuDew transmitters.)
When the ambient dewpoint is known, then the AcuDew can be autocaled to the
ambient value.
Adjusting the AutoCal
WARNING
Do NOT power down while the AutoCal is active as this can lead to corruption
of the AcuDew’s memory.
The AcuDew is supplied with an adjustable potentiometer to perform AutoCal,
which allows the calibration span of the transmitter to be adjusted. This
potentiometer is located under the weatherproof guard and can be accessed
by undoing the large silver coloured screw on the side of the transmitter
body. The AutoCal is adjusted by turning the potentiometer with the small
screwdriver supplied.
Once the transmitter has been pre-conditioned the potentiometer can be adjusted. ONLY ADJUST THE POTENTIOMETER IF THE SENSOR IS PROPERLY PRE- CONDITIONED. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL CORRUPT THE TRANSMITTERS CALIBRATION.
Note: The AcuDew must be connected to its normal indicator so that
readings can be taken or where no indicator is employed, an accurate
measurement of the mA output must be taken.
Use the potentiometer to move the reading up or down so that the desired
dewpoint is displayed.
Method 1: Adjust the AcuDew reading until the indicator reads the known
moisture level.
Method 2: Adjust the AcuDew reading until the indicator reads 0 °C or –20
°C whichever is applicable to the AcuDew being autocaled.
Method 3: Adjust the AcuDew reading until the indicator reads the known
ambient moisture reading.
Completing the AutoCal
Once the desired value is reached and the AutoCal process complete, remove the
screwdriver from the potentiometer and replace and fasten the weatherproof
guard using the large silver coloured screw.
The AcuDew will now output the corrected dewpoint and can be reinserted into
the process.

- If the sensor is open-circuited, the transmitter will produce a constant 20.50 mA output.
Troubleshooting AutoCal
FAULT | ACTION |
---|
AcuDew fails to perform an ambient AutoCal. It is possible that the
potentiometer has entered into the dead band.| Power down the AcuDew, turn the
potentiometer two turns clockwise. Then power up and perform AutoCal again.
The AcuDew cannot achieve the desired moisture level when performing a “known
moisture level”. The dew/frost point required is outside the set AcuDew
limits.| The AcuDew is no longer within calibration and should be returned to
Shaw Moisture Meters for calibration.

Basic Definitions
WATER VAPOUR PRESSURE: the pressure exerted by the water vapour contained in
any mixture of gases. The total pressure exerted by the gas mixture is the sum
of the pressures exerted by its components – including the water vapour. Water
Vapour Pressure varies in direct proportion to the total gas.
DEWPOINT TEMPERATURE: the temperature to which the gas must be cooled in order
that it should be saturated with water vapour (i.e. 100% relative humidity).
For practical reasons it is referred to dew point above 0 °C and frost point
below 0 °C.
PARTS PER MILLION BY VOLUME: ppm(v) is the ratio of the water vapour pressure
to the total gas pressure.
PARTS PER MILLION BY WEIGHT: ppm(w) is the ratio of the molecular weight of
water vapour to the molecular weight of the carrier gas mixture.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY: the ratio of the actual water vapour pressure in the gas to
the saturation water vapour pressure at the same temperature.
