DRYCAPâ Dew Point Transmitter DMT143 is an ideal choice for small compressed air
dryers, plastic dryers, and other OEM applications.
Vaisala DRYCAPâ technology
Vaisala DRYCAPâ Dew Point Transmitter
DMT143 is a miniature dew point
measurement instrument.
The transmitter can be installed directly
into pressurized systems at 50 bar
(725 psia) maximum pressure. The longterm high performance is achieved with
Vaisala DRYCAPâ technology.
The sensor fully withstands getting wet,
and therefore, the transmitter performs
exceptionally well in applications that
occasionally experience process water
spikes, such as pipeline condensation
during a system failure or start-up.
The sensor is also highly resistant to
particulate contamination, oil vapor, and
most chemicals, and is insensitive to
the flow rate.
Long calibration interval
The calibration interval of DMT143 is
2 years. Additionally, Vaisala DRYCAP
Handheld Dew Point Meter DM70 can be
used to confirm the performance of
DMT143 without disconnecting
the transmitter. For any adjustment
needs, the transmitter can be sent to
Vaisala Service.
The unique autocalibration function,
developed by Vaisala, detects possible
measurement inaccuracies and
automatically corrects dry-end drift in
the calibration curve. This ensures
accurate measurements and long
calibration intervals.

Easy installation
DMT143 has a variety of features to
choose from, including dierent output
and installation options, and alarm LED.
Due to its small size and light weight,
DMT143 is quickly and easily installed in
tight spaces or in small-size pipelines.
The alarm LED indicates too high dew
point in the process. The trigger point is
preset at the factory. It can be later
adjusted with Vaisala DRYCAP
Handheld Dew Point Meter DM70, or the
convenient Vaisala Insight PC software
for Windowsâ. Insight PC software can
also be used for other configuration
options (see www.vaisala.com/insight).
