An apparatus for monitoring a measurement transmitter of a field device determining and/or monitoring a physical and/or chemical process parameter, wherein at least one sensor is provided inside a housing, in which the transmitter is arranged. The sensor determines the temperature and relative humidity in the housing over a period of time in predetermined intervals, and a control-/evaluation-unit is provided, which, on the basis of the measured temperature and relative humidity, determines the absolute humidity and/or the dewpoint in the housing of the transmitter, and issues and alarm when the absolute humidity and/or the dewpoint in the housing of the transmitter reaches a critical value.
