Humidity - Measurement and Monitoring of relative Humidity
HC2A-S3 - Standard meteo probe
The HC2A-S3 probe is the meteorological probe with a white housing - same specification overall as the HC2A-S probe but with a different filter (larger pore size suitable for meteorological applications). It measures relative humidity and temperature and calculates the dew/frost point.
Features of the meteorological probe
- Accuracy: ±0.8 %rh, ±0.1 K, at 23 °C (10...30 °C)
- Range of application: -50…100 °C / 0…100 %rh
- Digital interface (UART) and scalable analog outputs, 0…1 V
- Standard output scaling: 0…1 V = -40…60 °C / 0…100 %rh
- Adjusted at 23 °C and 10, 35, 80 %rh
Advantages
- Measures relative humidity and temperature
- Outstanding accuracy, repeatability and long-term stability
- Advanced probe housing and construction
- Available with interchangeable sensor
- Hot swappable, no calibration adjustment required due to the digital interface with Rotronic devices
Smart Electronic
- Based on the Rotronic’s AirChip3000
- Calculates the dew / frost point
- Alarm generation
- Saves adjustment data so that probes can be
- interchanged without re-adjusting
- Hot-swappable
Flexibility and Compatibility
- User scalable analog analog ouput signals (2x 0…1V)1
- Digital interface via UART2
- Rapidly interfaced with HygroClip2 devices from
- Rotronic or in OEM3 applications
