Benefits of Field‑Replaceable Sensor Tips

When selecting a humidity sensor, we recommend choosing one with a field replaceable tip. Why are we recommending this? A field replaceable tip is easy to replace and allows the end-user to swap the sensor on-site without having to calibrate the unit or remove it from its mount. We recommend sensors with field replaceable tips for the following reasons:

  • Low Cost field_tip.bmp


    • No Calibration Fees



    • Lower Cost than purchasing an entire new sensor




  • No Need For Field Calibration



    • Replaceable tips eliminate time consuming and costly field calibration while reducing downtime during service intervals



    • No calibration is needed because each new sensor module is computer calibrated at the factory before shipping




  • Minimal Maintenance



    • Disposable



    • Easily Replaceable



      • Remove sensor tip without uninstalling entire unit




    • Need to replace tips approximately every 5 years




  • Sensor tips easily replaceable for wall, duct and outdoor units



    • For duct and outside air applications the sensor module can be replaced without removing the unit or disconnecting the wiring conduit



    • Simply remove the cover to replace a wall mount sensor module
