🔹 Product Introduction
The GE Panametrics MTS6-3-A-1-0 is a Moisture Target Series 6 single-channel moisture analyzer designed for continuous measurement of moisture in gases. The MTS6 uses Panametrics thin-film aluminum oxide moisture sensing technology and can display dew/frost point or moisture-related sensor information. It is intended for OEM and process applications where real-time gas moisture monitoring is required. The MTS6 supports Panametrics M Series moisture probes and VeriDri transmitters and provides configurable analog output, alarm relays, and onboard MicroSD data logging.
The MTS6 platform is suitable for applications such as compressed-air drying, gas processing, industrial manufacturing, chemical processing, and other systems requiring continuous moisture monitoring. The current Panametrics documentation describes it as an OEM-ready analyzer with an integrated display and flexible process-control outputs.

The MTS6 platform provides a single isolated analog output, one fault relay, two programmable alarm relays, and MicroSD data logging. Depending on configuration, analog outputs include 0–2 V, 0–20 mA, and 4–20 mA.
🔧 Troubleshooting & Common Problems
• Moisture Reading Is Incorrect: Verify the installed probe type, calibration range, process gas, and sensor connection. The MTS6 is compatible with Panametrics M Series aluminum-oxide probes and VeriDri transmitters.
• Reading Is Unstable: Check for pressure fluctuations, condensation, contaminated gas lines, loose probe connections, or changes in process conditions.
• No Moisture Signal: Inspect the probe cable, sensor connection, analyzer input, and power supply. A damaged or incorrectly installed probe can prevent normal measurement.
• Analog Output Is Incorrect: Confirm the selected output range and scaling. The MTS6 supports configurable 0–2 V, 0–20 mA, and 4–20 mA output options.
• Alarm Is Activated: Check the programmed high/low moisture setpoints and the fault-alarm condition before assuming the sensor has failed.
• Data Logging Does Not Work: Check the MicroSD card and its compatibility. The documented MTS6 system supports MicroSD/MicroSDHC cards up to 32 GB.
⚠️ Safety Precautions
• Disconnect electrical power before opening the analyzer enclosure or performing wiring work.
• Confirm the selected power configuration before applying voltage. MTS6 versions can be ordered for 100–240 VAC or 24 VDC operation.
• Do not expose the moisture probe to conditions outside its specified pressure, temperature, and material-compatibility limits.
• Prevent liquid condensation from entering the sensing system.
• Use appropriate grounding and electrical isolation practices when connecting analog outputs and alarm circuits.
• For hazardous or process gases, follow the site’s gas-handling, ventilation, leak-detection, and emergency procedures.
• Verify calibration and sensor compatibility before using the analyzer for critical process control.
📰 Product News & Related Information
The MTS6 remains part of Panametrics’ OEM moisture measurement portfolio. Panametrics currently describes the MTS6 as a single-channel moisture analyzer with integrated display, continuous dew/frost-point and ppmv monitoring, flexible outputs, and built-in alarms.
The MTS6 platform is designed to work with Panametrics M Series aluminum-oxide moisture probes and VeriDri transmitters. Its documented measurement capability covers a broad dew/frost-point range, with accuracy dependent on the measurement range.
Current secondary-market listings also continue to identify the MTS6-3-A-1-0 model, including new open-box and used units.
