Desiccant Tubes
On vented sensors, inspect the Desiccant Tube at least once every two months. The
desiccant is a bright blue color when active and dry, as moisture is absorbed the color
will begin to fade until becoming white indicating full saturation and time to replace.
Replacement desiccant can be purchased from INW, please contact an INW sales
engineer at 1-800-776-9355 for more information.

Recalibration and Check-up
INW recommends that the sensor be returned for factory recalibration and check-up
every six months or if problems develop with sensor stability or accuracy. If the
transmitters have been exposed to hazardous materials, do not return them without
notification and authorization. INW will ask that if the sensor assembly has been
exposed to hazardous or toxic chemicals, you send back only the sensor and end
connector, discarding the cable.
Miscellaneous
Sensor:
There are no user-serviceable parts, other than the batteries.
Cable:
Cable can be damaged by abrasion, sharp objects, twisting, crimping or crushing
and pulling. Take care during installation and use to avoid cable damage. If a section
of cable is damaged, it is recommended that you send your sensor back to replace the
cable harness assembly.
End Connections:
The contact areas (pins & sockets) of Mil-spec connectors will wear
out with extensive use. If your application requires repeated connections (in excess of
5000 connections) other types of connectors can be provided. The connectors used by
INW not submersible, but are designed to be splash-resistant.
