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:
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
