REPLACEABLE SENSOR™ 
CERTIFICATE OF VALIDATION

Dickson ensures that the Replaceable Sensors™ / 
Instruments listed below were developed, tested 
and validated together.

Replaceable Sensor™ Model: R400
Instrument Model: KT6P1, KT6P2, KT6P5 

Operation:

 The Instruments and Replaceable 

Sensor™ models listed above were specifically 
designed to work together. No other sensors 
will work with the Instrument models listed. No 
other Instrument will work with the Replaceable 
Sensors™ listed. The Replaceable Sensor™ must be 
connected to the Instrument for the Instrument to 
operate properly.

Calibration: 

Only the Replaceable Sensor™ is 

calibrated. The sensor, and all calibration defaults 
and adjustments are stored on the Replaceable 
Sensor™. Accuracy is strictly controlled by 
the sensor – no adjustments are made by the 
Instrument. Readings are sent from the Replaceable 
Sensor™ to the Instrument for storage purposes 
only. Certificates of Calibration / NISTs are only 
supplied for the Replaceable Sensor™ for this 
reason. 

Recalibration:

 When a Replaceable Sensor™ is due 

for recalibration the existing Replaceable Sensor™ 
can be replaced with a new Replaceable Sensor™ 
thus eliminating the need to return the entire 
instrument for recalibration. Replaceable Sensors™ 
can be returned for recalibration as well.
