Overview
The HMP50 measures both temperature and relative humidity and is suitable for long-term, unattended monitoring. The humidity component features a field-replaceable chip, which eliminates downtime typically required for the recalibration process. The HMP50 is compatible with all Campbell Scientific data loggers.
Technical Description
The HMP50 measures temperature with a 1000 Ohm platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) and relative humidity (RH) with a 50Y Intercap capacitive chip. The chip is field-replaceable, which eliminates the downtime typically required for the recalibration process. This temperature and RH sensor is compatible with all Campbell Scientific data loggers.
The HMP50 should be housed in a solar radiation shield—typically the 41303-5A. The 41303-5A 6-plate naturally aspirated shield attaches to a mast, crossarm, or tower leg.
Benefits
- Field-replaceable humidity chip eliminates recalibration down time
- Can be mounted to a tower/tripod mast or crossarm
