Introduction to DMT143 
 
Vaisala DRYCAP® Dewpoint Transmitter DMT143 is a small and lightweight dewpoint transmitter 
suitable for a wide range of OEM applications. DMT143 is easy to install and the mechanics have been 
designed for harsh environments requiring protection against dust, dirt and splashed water.  

There are two variants of the DMT143 transmitter, DMT143 and DMT143L.
