The A Series Dew Point Transmitter is our mid-range sensor. It uses an Alumina-Oxide capacitor to measure dew point, pressure, temperature and pressure dew point of compressed air and inert gases (argon, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen). The A Series Dew Point Transmitter is suitable for dew point ranges of -110°C to +20°C (-166°F to +68°F).

The sensor is available with an in-built display or without a display. The display option includes an alarm relay and allows you to adjust the dew point settings (gas type, measurement units, modbus and 4-20mA settings, etc). 

Best suited to

  • Compressed air and gas systems to 4 Mpa (600psi)
  • Nitrogen Systems
  • Membrane, drum, hybrid or desiccant dryers
  • Dew point range of -100°C to +20°C (-148°F to +68°F)
  • Temporary or permanent installation
