Vaisala HM70 Hand-Held Humidity and Temperature Meter
The Vaisala HUMICAP® Hand-Held
Humidity and Temperature Meter HM70 is designed for demanding humidity measurements in spot-checking applications. It is also ideal for field checking and calibration of Vaisala's fixed humidity instruments. The HM70 incorporates the latest generation of the Vaisala HUMICAP®Sensor. It is reliable and has better than ever long-term stability. Additionally, it has a sensor that copes well with chemical interference and provides accuracy that lasts in demanding conditions.
The chemical purge option maintains measurement accuracy in environments with high concentrations of chemicals. The sensor pre-heat option reduces measurement delays as it keeps the sensor dry when the probe is inserted into hot and humid processes.
Three probes to choose from
The HMP75 is a general purpose probe whereas the HMP76 is a long, stainless steel probe especially suitable for spot-checking in ducts. The HMP77 is a small probe at the end of a 5-meter cable. The probe is ideal for difficult-to-reach areas and for on-site calibration of Vaisala's process transmitters. In addition, the HM70 supports the use of Vaisala's dewpoint, carbondioxide and moisture in oil probes, allowing measurements in several multiparameter applications.
MI70 Link
The optional MI70 Link Windows®software and the USB connection cable form a practical tool for transferring logged data and real time measurement data from the HM70 to a PC.
