Frequently asked questions

What is the warranty period for the MP 400A?

The factory warranty covers material and manufacturing defects for 12 months from the delivery date.

How long does the sensor need to acclimate before measurement?

The sensor is ready for operation half a second after power is applied, but the medium and sensor must be in thermal and humidity equilibrium for reliable measurement, which can take up to 30 minutes.

When is additional wind protection required?

Additional wind protection is required when air speed exceeds approximately 20 m/s to prevent damage to the sensors.

What are the calibration points for humidity?

The sensors are calibrated at 35 %, 80 %, and 10 %rF to ensure optimal accuracy over the full measurement range.
