GE Panametrics - PM880 - Hygrometer Brochure

GESensingPM880Panametrics PortableHygrometerPM880 is a Panametrics product.Panametrics has joined other GEhigh-technology sensing businessesunder a new name_GE Industrial, Sensing.ApplicationsThis rugged, intrinsically safe, portable hygrometermeasures moisture in gases and non-aqueous liquids. Itis used in conjunction with Moisture Image® Series (MIS),TF and M Series moisture probes for applicationsincluding:• Natural gas• Chemical and petrochemical gases• Non-aqueous liquid applications• Air separation plants• Tanker preparation and filling• Industrial gases• Gas cylinder preparation and filling• Shipboard applications• SF6 circuit breakers• Furnace gases/heat treating• General plant/facility maintenanceFeatures• Hand-held portable design• Intrinsically safe• IP67 rated• Large graphic display• Internal data logger• IrDA®communication with PC• Stores up to 60 log/site files• Simple programming via graphic user interface• Compatible with all GE moisture probes• Lightweight hand-held sample system• Convenient carrying bag to store hygrometer and allaccessories• Self-paced e-learning class provides comprehensivereview of features and operationgThe PM880 hygrometer is a complete, intrinsically safe,portable system with options and accessories to meetall industrial moisture measurement needs.This hygrometer is small, lightweight, and easy-to-use.The large LCD displays moisture readings in dew point(°C or °F), ppmv, ppmw, lb/MMSCF (natural gas), and avariety of other unit options. Data can be viewed inalphanumeric or graphic formats. A rechargeable batterypack and battery charger make this the ideal go-anywhere moisture analyzer.The PM880 comes in a soft carrying case with zipperedcompartments, a handle, and a shoulder strap. The caseaccommodates the PM880, a sample system, flexiblehosing, probes with protective covers, an MoistureImage Series probe electronics module, an operatingmanual, a battery pack, a battery charger, and probecables.Training for the PM880 is available on-site, in the factoryor on line. GE offers extended warranties and serviceagreements for the PM880 as well as a range of servicesincluding NIST-traceable calibration, field calibration,rentals and moisture surveys.
