What is the meaning of Dry contact and Wet Contact related
to to sensors?

Answer Posted / greg gertsch

It has been my understanding; Dry contacts when open do not
transfer any voltage or currant to the load side.
wet contacts have voltage on the load side but no currant
flow. Such as when a varistor is used as a bridge allowing
line voltage to cross over to the load side which minimizes
the arcing on contact points
