Sensor Technology
MPS1 Multiparameter Sensor
DPT146 combines Vaisala’s proven DRYCAP® sensor technology for
industrial dewpoint measurement with BAROCAP® pressure sensor
technology. Both technologies are integrated on the same MPS1
multiparameter sensor element, allowing for a highly compact and
versatile transmitter.

There are several important advantages in using a transmitter with an
integrated sensor:
- Reduces installation work and cost.
- Improves the leak tightness of the system as connection points are
minimized.
- Enables online monitoring of all supported parameters.
