Product catalog summary
Overview: The FA 500 is a dew point sensor designed for use with refrigeration, membrane, and adsorption dryers. It features an integrated display and alarm relay, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
Special Features:
  • Integrated display for easy monitoring.
  • Adjustable threshold value via keypad with an alarm relay (max. 60 VDC, 0.5 A).
  • Pressure-tight up to 500 bar in special versions.
  • Long-term stability and quick adaptation time.
  • 4...20 mA analogue output for dew point measurement.
  • Modbus-RTU interface for enhanced communication.
  • Higher resolution sensor signal due to improved electronics.
  • On-site sensor diagnosis with portable devices or CS Service Software.
Technical Specifications:
  • Measuring range: -80 to 20 °Ctd, -60 to 30 °Ctd, -20 to 50 °Ctd, or 0 to 100% RH.
  • Accuracy: ±1 °C at +50 to -20 °Ctd, ±2 °C at -20 to -50 °Ctd, ±3 °C at -50 to -80 °Ctd.
  • Pressure range: -1 to 50 bar, with special versions up to 500 bar.
  • Power supply: 24 VDC (10 to 36 VDC).
  • Protection class: IP 65.
  • Operating temperature: -20 to 50 °C.
  • Output: 4...20 mA analogue output, Modbus-RTU, and optional Ethernet (PoE).
Connectivity and Options:
  • Upper connection for power supply, 4...20 mA output, and Modbus-RTU output.
  • Lower connection for alarm relay.
  • Optional Ethernet interface (PoE).
  • Various connection cables and accessories available for different configurations.
Calibration and Adjustment: Precision calibration available at -40 °Ctd or +3 °Ctd with ISO certification.
Operation: The sensor features easy operation via integrated keys, allowing for menu-controlled settings and display of dew point and humidity parameters. The alarm threshold and hysteresis can be freely set, and the analogue output can be scaled or allocated to additional parameters.

Dew point Easy operation via the keys on the display The integrated display shows the dew point in big figures as well as further humidity parameters on two more display pages. The arrow key can be used to scroll between the display pages. The alarm threshold value for the integrated relay can be freely entered via the keys. In addition to the alarm threshold, the hysteresis can also be freely entered. The 4…20 mA analogue output can be scaled freely or also allocated to one further parameter, e. g. g/m³. After entering the system pressure of the compressed air system and the reference pressure...
