Description

The Positector 6000 DPMA probe is the perfect solution for gathering ambient conditions in the field.  Along with all of the benefits of the DPM probe the DPMA can measure wind speed using the integral hot wire anemometer.  While in anemometer mode you can measure:

  • Air Temperature
  • Relative Humidity
  • Wind Speed

The DPMA probe can display wind speeds from  0-20 m/s, 0-44 mph, 0-65 ft/s, 0-3900 ft/m, 0-72 km/h, or 0-38 knots.  These readings are held to an accuracy of +/- 3% full scale.  A new feature with this probe is that it will automatically adjust the screen based on gauge orientation.  With the DPMA you are able to read:

  • Wind Speed
  • Relative Humidity
  • Air Temperature
  • Surface Temperature
  • Dew Point Temperature
  • The Difference between Dew Point and Surface Temperature
  • Wet Bulb Temperature (Advanced Memory bodies Only)

Another great feature is its capability to become a data logger.  Simply go to auto-log mode in the settings and set your time intervals.  The device will then take a set of readings every time your specified time limit is achieved!

  • User defined limits for all parameters—visible and audible warnings
  • NEW Send email alerts when connected to WiFi
  • Onscreen Batch Annotation—add notes, change batch names and more with built-in QWERTY keyboard
  • Wet bulb temperature can be displayed and recorded
  • Trend Charts graph readings in real-time
  • WiFi technology wirelessly synchronizes with PosiSoft.net and downloads software updates
  • Bluetooth 4.0 Technology for data transfer to a mobile device running the PosiTector App or optional portable printer. BLE API available for integration into third-party software.
  • Integrate with third-party software, drones, ROVs, PLCs, and robotic devices using several industry-standard communication protocols

Is the PosiTector DPM calibrated at the factory?

The PosiTector DPM arrives fully calibrated and ready to measure. A Long-Form Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST or PTB is included, which documents actual readings taken by your instrument at our calibration laboratory on standards traceable to a national metrology institute. Beware of ‘Certificates’ or ‘Certificates of Conformance’ offered by competitors. These typically do not include actual instrument readings, and are often insufficient to meet common quality requirements.

Does the PosiTector DPM provide a wet-bulb temperature measurement?

Yes. When combined with either a PosiTector Advanced gage body or PosiTector SmartLink wireless probe adapter, the DPM will indicate a wet-bulb temperature measurement.

Is the PosiTector DPM suitable for applications with low or negative dew point temperatures?

The PosiTector DPM provides accurate dew point readings (±3° C) down to -40° C.

Dew point is a calculated value, based on temperature and humidity. At low negative dew point temperatures, the calculation is highly dependent on relative humidity and changes of ±3% RH (the tolerance of the PosiTector DPM’s humidity sensor) can have a significant impact on the dew point temperature.

The Dew Point (Td) Accuracy page details the accuracy of the calculated dew point temperature based on the measured temperature and humidity.

Is the PosiTector DPM suitable for high pressure environments?

Yes. The PosiTector DPMD is specifically designed for use in pressurized environments (max 200 psi / 1.3 MPa) and has ½” NPT threads for secure installation on pipes and tanks.

Will any k-type thermocouple work with the PosiTector DPMS?

The PosiTector DPMS Magnetic Surface Temperature Sensor can be disconnected from the K-Type thermocouple connector and replaced with any K-type thermocouple.

DeFelsko offers the following optional k-type sensors:

  • Hand-held Surface Temperature probe: for spot-checking difficult-to-access areas.
  • Liquid Temperature Probe: general purpose probe with stainless steel shaft.

How long does it take the probe to acclimate, and provide accurate measurements in a new environment?

The PosiTector DPM, like other electronic dew point meters, requires adequate time to acclimate to its operating environment. When moving between similar environments, the instrument will stabilize in a matter of seconds. However, when moving between environmental extremes (like between a dry, air conditioned vehicle and the warm, humid outdoors) it can take up to 30 minutes for readings to stabilize.

If left in a dry environment for an extended period of time, this stabilization process may take longer. To restore the original response time, wrap the sensor in a damp cloth overnight.

Is the PosiTector DPM accurate in freezing temperatures?

The PosiTector DPM can accurately measure air temperature (Ta) as low as -40° C.

Is the PosiTector DPM suitable for logging temperatures inside an oven?

We do not recommend our PosiTector DPM for operation in an oven. Delicate internal components and assembly materials are prone to premature damage when subjected to prolonged use in a closed environment with temperatures greater than approximately 50° C.
