Safety information If you use the gage as intended and observe the safety information, it will not present any danger. Please read and follow this Operator's Manual and observe the safety information. Also observe generally applicable safety and accident prevention regulations. 1.1 Intended use Only accessories approved or recommended by the manufacturer may be connected to the gage. Any use beyond this is not the intended use. The risk of damage ensuing therefrom is borne solely by the user. 1.
Safety information Potentially explosive environment The gage and accessories are not suitable for use in potentially explosive environments. ► Operate the gage and accessories only outside of potentially explosive areas! 1.3 Safety of the electrical equipment Only accessories approved or recommended by the manufacturer may be connected to the gage! USB cable Damaged USB cable Kinking or pinching the USB cable can result in a broken wire. Data transmission is then no longer possible.
Description The gage model MMS Inspection DPM is for continuously measuring air temperature and humidity to determine the dew point. You can log these climate values over a prolonged period and emit an optical warning if specification limits are exceeded. To measure the surface temperature continuously, you can connect a magnetic temperature probe to the gage.

Set up 3 3.1 Set up Installing batteries 3.2 Switching on the gage ► Press the 1 s. key for approx. The display shows the main menu or Measurement view for the batch that was open at shutdown. 3.3 Battery polarity Observe the correct polarity when inserting the batteries! Damage to the gage The use of defective batteries or the wrong type of battery causes damage to the gage. Leaking batteries destroy the gage's electronics. ► Use only undamaged batteries.
Getting started All the settings relevant to measuring and logging the surface temperature, the ambient atmosphere and measured readings themselves are saved in a file. Such a file is called a batch. Batch 001 %RH Ta Ts Td In the batch, you define the measurement procedure, e.g. specification limit and alarm monitoring for certain factors during the measurement. 3 steps to the measurement 1. Switch on the gage, 2.
Settings for measurement 5 Settings for measurement In order to measure, you need to create and open a batch (measuring application file). In a batch, you define the measuring application and settings for the measurement procedure, e.g. specification limit and alarm monitoring for certain factors during the measurement. If any parameter changes, there is a new measuring application and you have to create a new batch.
Creating a new batch Each batch contains some presets for the measurement procedure. The preset selection is based on the requirements in a directive/standard or according to customer specifications. Before you start • The gage is switched on ( key) Creating a new batch 1. Main Menu () > Batches > OK > New > OK This completes the creation process for a new batch. What you can do next • Measure, see Page 19 • Rename a batch; see page 23 MMS® Inspection DPM High 17 Settings for measurement 5.
Settings for measurement 5.2 Opening a batch Before you start • The gage is switched on ( key) Opening an existing batch 1. Main Menu () > Batches > OK 2. Select the desired batch from the list: 3. OK 4. MEASURE > OK Measurement view for the selected batch opens.
Measurement The gage model MMS Inspection DPM is for continuously measuring temperature and humidity to determine the dew point and the difference between surface temperature and dew point. You can log all these climate factors over a prolonged period and emit an optical warning if specification limits are exceeded.
Measurement 6.1 Before you start • The gage is switched on ( key) • Temperature probe • The gage surface temperature probe is used: The protective cap has been removed • A magnetic surface temperature probe is used (example): The temperature probe is connected to the gage • The required batch is opened ( page 18) 6.2 key in the main menu, see also Measurement procedure • Air temperature (Ta), measured continuously • Relative humidity (%RH), measured continuously.
Measurement During the measurement you can also: • Delete the measured readings: • View the measurement curve for the measurands in a line chart: 6.3 Correctly holding the gage during the measurement • Keep your hand in the area of the orange Batch 003 %RH Ta Ts Td Ts-Td 21.6 25.0°C 30.0°C 2.7°C 27.3°C A n=5 gage housing at all times, this is marked by the green rectangle in the figure to the left.

Assigning/changing batch names Assign a unique name for the batch. Keep in mind that many batch files are stored in the gage. A unique name makes the selection process easier. Procedure 1. Main Menu () > Batches > OK > 2. Select the desired batch from the list: 3. OK 4. Change name: • Move cursor by means of the and OK keys • Select the desired character by means of the keys • Delete character: Select space 5.
Data transfer 8 Data transfer The following data can be transferred from the gage: • Batch files into the App PHASCOPE PAINT, see page 24 You can download the app for free from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. • Single readings in an Excel file via PC-Datex, see page 26 You can download the program PC-Datex for free from the Fischer-Homepage. 8.1 Transfer batch files in the PHASCOPE PAINT app Before you start • The PHASCOPE PAINT app is installed in the used mobile device.
• Use the PHASCOPE PAINT app to export the data as follows: • CSV file, for measurement blocks, e.g., for import to MS Excel. Date and time of measurement block creation and measurement capture, single readings, tolerance specification limits, if in the selected application set, are always exported.
Data transfer 8.2 Transfer single readings online to an Excel file via PC-Datex The data is transferred directly from the gage to the computer via an USB cable connection. For further processing of the data transferred from the gage commercially as well as internally developed data processing programs can be used. Information on the data import and further processing can be found in the corresponding program manuals. You can download the program PC-Datex for free from the Fischer-Homepage.
► PC: In the PC-Datex Add-In tap on button Cancel of the PC-Datex window What can you do next • Open another batch, see page 18 • Make further measurements with the gage, see page 19 • Delete readings of the open batch in the gage: Main menu (v) > > All Readings > OK MMS® Inspection DPM High > 27 Data transfer Finish data transfer
Glossary 9 Glossary Batch A file for organizing and controlling the measurement data. All the settings relevant to the measurement and the measured readings themselves are saved in a file. In the gage such a file is called a batch. In a batch, you define the measuring application and settings for the measurement procedure, e.g. specification limit and alarm monitoring for certain factors during the measurement.
