5-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY (NEW PRODUCTS)
For a period of five years after the date of original shipment from our factory, products manufactured by
Sea-Bird are warranted to function properly and be free of defects in materials and workmanship. Should a Sea-Bird

LIMITED WARRANTY ON SERVICE & REPAIRS
Service work, repairs, replacement parts and modifications are warranted to be free of defects in materials or

MODIFICATIONS / EXCEPTIONS / EXCLUSIONS
1.
The SBE 43 DO sensor is warranted to function properly for 5 years. Under normal use however, the electrolyte in
an SBE 43 DO sensor will require replenishment after about 3 years (or longer, depending on conditions of use).
Anytime during the warranty period (typically after 3 years), the SBE 43 will be refurbished once without charge,
Return the sensor freight pre-paid to our factory. We will refurbish it for free (electrolyte refill, membrane
replacement, and recalibration) and pay the cost of shipping it back to you. Membrane damage or depletion of
electrolyte caused by membrane damage is not covered by this warranty.
2.
The pH sensor electrode used in the SBE 18 pH sensor and SBE 27 pH/ORP sensor has a limited design life
caused by depletion of their chemical constituents during normal storage and use, and is covered under warranty
for the first 90 days only. Other components of the sensor (housing, electronics, etc.) are covered for 5 years.
3.
Instruments or sensors manufactured by other companies are warranted only to the limit of the warranties provided
by their original manufacturers, typically 1 year. (example: fluorometers, transmissometers, PAR, optical
backscatter sensors, altimeters, etc.)
4.
Water sample bottles manufactured by other companies, and PVC plastic bottle parts used to make Sea-Bird
Improved Sample Bottles are warranted only to the limit of the warranties provided by their original
manufacturers, typically one year. The mounting bracket (except stainless steel band clamp) used in Sea-Bird
Improved Sample Bottles is covered for 5 years.

Batteries, zinc anodes, anti-foulant devices, or other consumable/expendable items are not covered under this
warranty.

defects in materials and workmanship for 1 year.
7.
This warranty is void if in our opinion the instrument has been damaged by accident, mishandled, altered,
improperly serviced, or repaired by the customer where such treatment has affected its performance or reliability.
In the event of such misuse/abuse by the customer, costs for repairs plus two-way freight costs will be borne by the
customer. Instruments found defective should be returned to the factory carefully packed, as the customer will be
responsible for freight damage.

responsibility of SEA-BIRD ELECTRONICS, INC.
