Vaisala HUMICAP Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP8 is designed for pressurized
applications in compressed air systems, refrigerant dryers, and other pressurized
industrial applications where easy insertion and removal of the probe and adjustable
installation depth into the pipeline are needed.
Vaisala is the original innovator of the
thin-film capacitive humidity
measurement technology, which has now
become the industry standard in
humidity measurement.
HUMICAP technology results from
Vaisala's 40-year experience in industrial
humidity measurement, providing the
best stability, fast response time, and low
hysteresis in a wide range of
applications.
In environments with high
concentrations of chemicals and cleaning
agents, the chemical purge option helps
to maintain measurement accuracy
between calibration intervals.
The chemical purge involves heating the
sensor to remove harmful chemicals. The
function can be initiated manually or
programmed to occur at set intervals.
The probe is plug and play compatible
with Vaisala Indigo™ series of
transmitters, or it can be used as a
standalone digital Modbus RTU
transmitter over RS-485 serial bus. For
easy-to-use access to field calibration,
device analytics, and configuration
functionality, the probe can be
connected to Vaisala Insight™ Software.
Indigo transmitters oer a variety of
connectivity options through analog
signals or digital outputs, configurable
relays, and wireless (WLAN)
configuration interface, providing a
suitable solution for all industrial
humidity measurements. The cable
length between the probe and
transmitter can be extended to up to 30
meters.
Each probe is manufactured and
individually calibrated in Vaisala's worldclass facility in Finland. The traceable
factory calibration certificate is included
also in electronic format in the probe.
The interchangeable probes minimize
the downtime associated with
maintenance. Validate and maintain the
accuracy by calibrating the instrument
on the field or use the easy and thorough
calibration service in Vaisala's service
facilities in Helsinki, Boston, Beijing and
Tokyo.
