Relative humidity is extremely temperature-dependent. In order to measure it precisely, the probe and sensors must be exactly on the temperature level of the environment
to be measured. The installation site can therefore have a significant influence on the performance of the device. Follow the guidelines below to ensure optimum performance:
•Select a representative installation site: Install the probe at a point where the humidity, temperature and pressure conditions are representative for the environment to be measured.
•Ensure sufficient air movement around the probe: An air flow of at least 1 meter / second accelerates and facilitates adjustment of the probe to changing temperatures.
•Avoid: Probe too close to heating elements, cooling coils, cold or hot walls, direct sunlight, etc.
Probe too close to steam, injectors, humidifiers or direct precipitation
Unstable pressure conditions with high air turbulence
•Insert the probes as far as possible into the environment to be measured
•Avoid accumulation of condensation at the contact wires the sensor. Install the probe so that the tip points down
If that is not possible, install it in a horizontal position
