Physical Specifications




   Form Factor       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Sensor / Probe
 
     This category includes the many types of humidity sensors that are used for process monitoring. Typically, a secondary device or instrument is required for data acquisition or the transmission of humidity data.
 
   Transmitter
 
     Transmitters are measurement or signal conditioning packages that provide a standard, calibrated output from a sensor or transducer.
 
   Meter / Indicator
 
     Devices measure humidity, moisture content, and/or dew point.  Most meters are hand held and have a local display.
 
   Analyzer
 
     Devices log information which can be downloaded to a computer for further analysis.
 
   Instrument
 
     Instruments are typically self-contained and provide an output, such as a display, at or near the unit. Instruments often include signal processing and/or conditioning.
 
   Other

   Relative Humidity Accuracy:
 
     Relative humidity accuracy indicates the closeness of a measured or computed relative humidity value to its true value.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Dew Point Range
 
     Dew point range is the ambient dew point range that devices are able to measure with a linear response.

   Compensation       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Temperature Compensated
 
     Output readings remain constant across a range of temperatures as long as the temperature changes are within the temperature-compensated range.
 
   Pressure Compensated
 
     Output readings remain constant across a range of pressures as long as the pressure changes are within the pressure-compensated range.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

   Digital Outputs       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Ethernet
 
     Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) protocol that uses a bus or star typology and supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps. The Ethernet specification is the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard, which specifies the physical and lower software layers. To handle simultaneous demands, Ethernet uses carrier sense multiple access / collision detection (CSMA/CD) to monitor network traffic.
 
   Modem
 
     Modems (modulators-demodulators) are devices or programs that allow computers to transmit data over telephone lines. They convert digital computer data to analog sound waves and then demodulate the carrier signals to decode the transmitted information.
 
   Parallel Interface
 
     Parallel interfaces are channels that can transfer more than one bit at the same time.
 
   SCSI
 
     Small computer systems interface (SCSI) is an intelligent I/O parallel peripheral bus with a standard, device-independent protocol that allows many peripheral devices to be connected to the SCSI port. A single SCSI bus can drive up to eight devices or units: the host adapter or controller, and seven other devices. Each device is assigned a different SCSI ID, ranging from 0 to 7.  SCSI formats include SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3, Wide SCSI, Fast SCSI, Wide Fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI, Ultra3 SCI (Ultra160), Ultra 320 SCSI, and Ultra640 SCSI.
 
   Serial Interface
 
     Serial interfaces are channels in which only one bit of data is transmitted at a time.
 
   TTL
 
     Transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is a common type of digital circuit in which the output is derived from two transistors.
 
   USB
 
     Universal serial bus (USB) is a 4-wire, 12-Mbps serial bus for low-to-medium speed peripheral device connections to personal computers (PC), including keyboards, mice, modems, printers, joysticks, audio functions, monitor controls, etc. The USB design is standardized by the USB Implementers Forum (USBIF), an organization that includes leading companies from the computer and electronics industries. The current USB specification is USB 2.0, which supports data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps.

Technology




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Capacitive
 
     When capacitive materials absorb moisture, their dielectric properties change and their capacitance increases.
 
   Chilled Mirror
 
     Mirrors are chilled to a temperature, the dew point, at which moisture begins to condense on the surface.
 
   Electrolytic
 
     Moisture is proportional to the current needed to electrolyze it from a desiccant (e.g., P2O5).
 
   Infrared
 
     Infrared (IR) instruments use the infrared spectrum to measure the absorption of moisture.
 
   Microwave
 
     This non-contact technology is used to measure moisture in a wide variety of materials. The amplitude and phase of a microwave signal is directly affected by the amount of moisture in a material.
 
   Nuclear
 
     Neutrons are slowed by the presence of moisture in a material.
 
   Psychrometer
 
     Relative humidity is determined by measuring the temperature difference between two thermometers, one wet and one dry.
 
   Resistive
 
     When resistive materials absorb moisture, their resistivity or impedance changes.
 
   Strain Gauge / Piezoresistive
 
     Strain gauges or piezoresistive elements are used to measure the expansion of materials that absorb water (e.g., cellulose crystallite).
