Dew Point Sensors 

 Mini 

User Manual v1.1 

Warranty 

Compressed Air Alliance provides a 12-
month warranty for all sensors. The 
warranty covers materials and 
workmanship under the stated 
operating conditions from the date of 
delivery. Please report any findings 
immediately and within the warranty 
time.  

If faults occur during the warranty 
period Compressed Air Alliance will 
repair or replace the defective unit, 
without charge for repair labour and 
material costs but there is a charge for 
other services such as labour to remove 
or reinstall the instrument, transport 
and packing. Warranty repairs do not 
extend the period of warranty. 

The following damage is excluded from 
this warranty: 

 

Improper use and non-
adherence to the user manual. 

 

Use of unsuitable accessories. 

 

External influences (e.g. damage 
caused by vibration, damage 
during transportation, excess 
heat or moisture). 

The warranty is cancelled when one 
of the following situations occurs: 

 

The user opens the 
measurement instrument 

without a direct request written 
in this manual. 

 

Repairs or modifications are 
undertaken by third parties or 
unauthorised persons. 

 

The serial number has been 
changed, damaged or removed. 

Other claims, especially damage 
occurring on the outside of the 
instrument (eg dents, marks), are not 
included unless responsibility is 
legally binding. 

 

Calibration 

The sensor is calibrated before delivery. 
The calibration date is printed on the 
certificate which is shipped with the 
sensor.  

Dew Point Sensors require calibration 
to remain accurate. The frequency of 
calibration depends greatly on the level 
of contamination within your system. 

We recommend you calibrate the 
sensor every 2 years (provided the 
sensor is not exposed to relative 
humidity above 85%). Calibration is 
excluded from the product warranty. 
For more information, contact 
Compressed Air Alliance.
