165910 Dew Point Meter 8072A Manual 4 June 2014
Product Overview
The 8072A dew point monitor is used to check the output dew
point of a desiccant dryer. The monitor has a built-in vacuum
pump which draws sample air to be measured and provides
real-time indication of dew point on an LED display. Visual and
audible alarm indicators warn when high dew points are
detected.
The dew point monitor and its accessories are housed in a
portable carrying case. Before using the monitor, familiarize
yourself with the features shown below:
165910 Dew Point Meter 8072A Manual 5 June 2014
POWER SWITCH Turns monitor ON and OFF.
ALARM SWITCH Enables local audible alarm when dew
point exceeds the alarm set point.
LINE CORD Provides connection to power.
BEEPER (not
shown)
Gives audible signal when the measured
dew point is above the alarm set point.
DEW POINT
CONDITION
INDICATORS
Green light is on when dry air is detected,
red light is on when measured dew point is
above the alarm set point.
SAMPLE TUBING Six feet of heat resistant tubing draws in
process air to be measured.
AIR FILTER Installed in-line with sample tubing,
removes fine particulates from sample air.
DESICCANT TUBE Provides dry air for testing the monitor’s
response.
TUBING STORAGE
BRACKET
Allows storage for sample tubing and
desiccant tube when not in use.
ANALOG OUT 4-20mA and 0-5V output for remote
monitoring or data logging. Mates with
standard 3 pin M8 female cable.
NOTE: The 8072A is shipped with a desiccant pack which can
be discarded when the unit is unpacked. The desiccant pack is
different than the Desiccant Tube.
165910 Dew Point Meter 8072A Manual 6 June 2014
Operation
The 8072A is designed to sample process air that is near
atmospheric pressure, NOT compressed air. If you are
attempting to monitor compressed air, consult IMS Company
for other model options.
NOTE: For best sensor life and response time, avoid sampling
ambient air of high humidity. Leave unit off when not
monitoring a dryer or hopper.
CAUTION: The carrying case is not heat resistant. It may melt
or distort if left resting on the hot parts of a heated dryer. If a
surface is too hot to touch, it is too hot for the 8072A!
Sample Tubing Connection
To enable testing of your process air, you must provide fittings
in your drying system that will accept the 8072A’s 3/16” ID
sample tubing. This can be a barbed hose fitting or a piece of
¼” copper tube that penetrates your dryer’s air hoses. This
point of attachment must be secure and leak-free. Some dryer
manufacturers provide a port for sampling. Check your dryers
owner’s manual for its location if available.
The sampling tubing supplied with the monitor can tolerate
temperatures up to 275qF (135qC). Higher process air
temperatures can be cooled to a safe level by sampling through
a few feet of ¼” copper tubing.
Select the sample locations based on your testing needs (refer
to diagram below). It is suggested that you have a permanently
accessible sample point. A barbed fitting with valve at the
output of the dryer is best.
165910 Dew Point Meter 8072A Manual 7 June 2014
NOTE: When storing the 8072A, carefully coil the sample
tubing and tuck it behind the tubing storage bracket. This will
prevent kinks from forming in the tubing when the lid is
closed.
Power Connection
The 8072A is supplied with a 6 foot line cord for connection to
power. Always connect the monitor to the correct supply
voltage. Do not attempt to replace the line cord with a different
plug type to accommodate other supply voltages. The 8072A
will be damaged if connected to incorrect supply voltage.
Dryer Performance Testing
The performance of a dryer can be evaluated by measuring the
dew point of its output air.
Connect the 8072A sample tubing to a point on the dryer’s
output line, before the hopper. Make sure not to exceed the
sample tubing temperature rating.
Turn on the 8072A and allow the reading to stabilize. The initial
reading will be +15qF (-9qC) until all the ambient air is purged

from the monitor’s tubing and internal fittings. After a few
minutes, the reading should start to drop until a stable reading
is obtained. It can take 30 minutes or more for the unit to
stabilize when first turned on.
NOTE: Not all dryers produce a -40q
q
dew point. Check with
your dryer manufacturer for expected dew point levels.
Leave the 8072A connected and turned on during material
drying and processing. The built in red light and audible beeper
will indicate dryer trouble within moments of a dew point rise.
A constantly high reading on the 8072A may indicate a
malfunctioning dryer or one that is overloaded by damp
material in the hopper. If you suspect that the 8072A is giving
an incorrect high reading, perform the Dry-Down Test described
in the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
Remote Monitoring/Data logging
The 8072A analog output jack can be used to monitor or log
dew point over a period of time.
The output jack is a 3 pin male M8 type connector. This
connector accepts standard threaded or snap fit female M8
cables.
PIN 1 0-5V signal
PIN 3 Ground
PIN 4 4-20mA self-powered signal (current sourcing)
Note that the output scaling is -40qF to +70qF.

Maintenance and Adjustments
IMS Company offers a maintenance and calibration service for
the 8072A. This service should be performed annually,
especially if you are an quality certified company. During the
calibration service most common parts are checked.
Alternatively, most wearable parts can be replaced by the user
if you are not taking advantage of the calibration service.
To access the serviceable parts inside the monitor, the 8072A
panel must be removed from the carrying case.
Monitor Disassembly and Assembly
WARNING: Unplug the 8072A from power before disassembly.
Even with the power switch off, voltages are present inside the
unit.
Slide the sample tubing off of the front panel elbow.
Use a screwdriver to remove the 5 screws along the perimeter
of the panel holding it in the case. Use the sample tubing elbow
to help lift the panel straight up and out of the case.
When re-assembling the panel into the case, make sure sensor
cable wires are tucked in and not binding under the panel as
you lower it into the case.
Install the 5 mounting screws, taking care not to cross thread
the screws as you proceed. The screws only need to be snug to
the panel, do not overtighten!
