Contact Instrument Solutions

Overview

The Vaisala HUMICAP hand held humidity and temperature meter HM70 is designed for demanding humidity measurements. The HM70 includes an MI70 indicator and an optional probe depending on the application. The HM70 incorporates the latest generation of the Vaisala HUMICAP sensor and it is reliable with 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.

Features

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, carbon dioxide and moisture in oil probes, allowing measurements in several multiparameter applications.

MI70 Link Software

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.

Please note: The MI70 Link Windows software is available as a free download from the Vaisala website by clicking here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Instrument Hire models includes the HMP75 type probe and the MI70 Link software / USB cable. When purchasing an instrument the HM70 includes an MI70 indicator and an optional probe depending on the application.
