Product catalog summary
Overview: The Shaw Moisture Meters AcuDew Dewpoint Transmitter is a compact, loop-powered device designed for measuring trace moisture in process gases and dry compressed air. It features a high-capacitance SHAW dewpoint sensor, offering robust performance with excellent sensitivity, repeatability, and quick response times.
Specifications: The AcuDew provides a linear 4-20 mA signal over a range from -120 °C to +20 °C dewpoint, configurable in various units such as °C, °F, ppm(V), ppb(v), g/m³, and lb/MMSCF. It is powered by a 7-28 V DC source and is available with Modbus RTU Serial Line RS485 digital communication. The device is constructed from stainless steel, rated IP66 (NEMA 4X), and can withstand pressures up to 35,000 kPa (350 bar).
Features: Key features include the SHAW AutoCal for accuracy, open/short circuit detection, and compatibility with Acu range displays like AcuLoop, AcuVu, and AcuTrak. It supports remote installation with signal transmission up to 1,000 meters.
Performance: The AcuDew offers high accuracy (±2 °C dewpoint), repeatability better than ±0.3 °C, and quick response times (wet to dry in less than 120 seconds). It operates in temperatures from -20 °C to +60 °C and is supplied with a Certificate of Calibration.
Mechanical and Electrical Details: The transmitter features a 316 stainless steel enclosure, a 50-micron filter for sensor protection, and a mechanical connection with a Viton “O” ring seal. It complies with BS EN 61326 for electromagnetic compatibility and has a warm-up time of 10 seconds.
Ordering Information: The AcuDew can be ordered with various sensor ranges and configurations, including Modbus RTU. Accessories like sensor holders and compatible hygrometers (AcuTrak, AcuVu, AcuLoop) are available for enhanced functionality.

AcuDew Dewpoint Transmitter Specification Sheet-1

MOISTURE METERS AcuDewHigh Performance Dewpoint Transmitter The Shaw Moisture Meters AcuDew Dewpoint Transmitter is a compact, 2 wire, 4-20 mA loop powered transmitter, used for trace moisture measurement of process gases and dry compressed air. Utilising the ultra high capacitance SHAW dewpoint sensor, the AcuDew is a robust and reliable dewpoint transmitter, offering excellent sensitivity, repeatability and speed of response. The AcuDew dewpoint transmitter also incorporates the SHAW AutoCal feature to ensure accuracy between laboratory calibrations. AcuDew provides a linear 4-20 mA signal over the chosen measurement range, loop powered by a 7-28 V DC source. Various dewpoint ranges are available, covering an overall range from -120 °C to +20 °C dewpoint (-184 °F to +68 °F). The output is configurable in °C dewpoint, °F dewpoint, ppm(V), ppb(v), g/m3 and lb/MMSCF. The AcuDew dewpoint transmitter is also available with Modbus RTU Serial Line RS485 digital communication. The rugged stainless-steel construction and industrial M12 connector provide a protection rating of IP66 (NEMA 4X) and can withstand extreme environmental conditions across a wide range of industrial applications. The AcuDew dewpoint transmitter has been tested to withstand pressures up to 35,000kPA (350 bar) for direct connection in to pipelines. Easy to install and operate, requiring little or no maintenance, AcuDew offers reliable and accurate measurements. The microprocessor circuitry of the AcuDew dewpoint transmitter drives its high resolution to provide advanced selfdiagnostics for fault conditions. When installed in remote locations, the 4-20 mA signal can be transmitted to a control system over distances up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet). The AcuDew is fully compatible with the Acu range of single channel displays: the AcuLoop plug-in signal indicator for local display; the panel mount AcuVu with 4-20 mA retransmission and fully programmable alarms; and the AcuTrak with additional on-board pressure dewpoint calculations and RS485 communications. Each AcuDew transmitter is supplied ready for use with a Certificate of Calibration traceable to National and International Humidity Standards, an instruction manual and 2 m of cable. • 2-wire, loop powered, 4-20 mA dewpoint transmitter • AcuDew available with Modbus RTU Serial Line RS485 digital commumication • Various ranges: overall range -120 °C to +20 °C dewpoint (-184 °F to +68 °F) • AutoCal (automatic calibration) feature • Output configurable in °C dewpoint, °F dewpoint, ppm(V), ppb(v), g/m3 and lb/MMSCF • Open/short circuit detection • Weatherproof rating IP66 (NEMA 4X) • Fully compatible with the single channel displays: AcuLoop, AcuVu, AcuTrak, SU4 sample system and SWS sample sys
