IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The below products have been discontinued.  Please contact us if you have questions or need further information.

Model XDT-XPH Transmitter in Adalat Explosion Proof Enclosure and the Model ESS-SCVP Mission Critical Class 1 Div 1, This covers all Series XDT-XPH Transmitters. This does not affect the overall XDT transmitter line.

Main Part Numbers Affected:

  • XPH.S1.M.3000: XPH 4-Hole Atex Enclosure with OEM,120, Sr, 420, Znr
  • XPH.S1.M.3500: Oem, 120, Sr, 420, Znr
  • XDT.S1.E.6200: Zener Kit for XPH
  • XPH.37.M.0002: Ex Proof Encl W/ Cover – Zener

The cancellation of the product is due to a change in vender supplied Zener barrier required for Class 1 Div 1 ratings, reconfiguring of the XDT-XPH for the new Zener barrier will require complete recertification for the XDT-XPH. Process Insights will not be going forward with the recertification. We will be adding Class 1 Div 1 to the upgraded version of the XDT being developed for release in the next 1-2 years.

Service and support of the XDT-XPH will continue for the life of the Model XDT and as parts allow.

Sensor calibration and sensor replacement, Main board, Optical board, and most general parts will not be affected and are available as needed for service or field replacement. Please contact support.hou@process-Insights.com.

Replacement options HDT, and other versions of the XDT. Please contact your area sales representative or send email to sales.hou@process-insights.com.

HOW CAN MOISTURE BE AN ISSUE IN YOUR PROCESS

Moisture is a problem in process control for several reasons:

  • Product quality: Moisture content can have a significant impact on the quality of a product. For example, if the moisture content of a food product is too high, it can lead to spoilage or mold growth. Similarly, if the moisture content of a pharmaceutical product is too low, it can affect the effectiveness of the medication. Therefore, it is essential to control and maintain the moisture content within the desired range to ensure consistent product quality.
  • Process efficiency: Moisture content can also affect the efficiency of a manufacturing process. For example, if the moisture content of a material is too high, it may take longer to dry or require more energy to achieve the desired moisture content. On the other hand, if the moisture content is too low, it may cause the material to become brittle or difficult to handle. Controlling moisture content can help optimize the manufacturing process and reduce production costs.
  • Equipment damage: Moisture can cause corrosion, rust, and other types of damage to equipment and machinery. This can lead to reduced equipment lifespan, unplanned downtime, and increased maintenance costs. Controlling moisture can help protect equipment and prolong its lifespan.
  • Safety: Moisture can create safety hazards in certain applications. For example, in chemical processing, excess moisture can react with certain chemicals and cause explosions or fires. Moisture control can help prevent safety incidents and protect workers.
