Dew point range Dependent on sensor used
Dew point accuracy ± 0.2°C dew/frost point
Dew point repeatability 0.1°C
Temperature accuracy ±0.15°C
Other humidity parameters The range and accuracy of absolute humidity (mH20/v) and relative humidity (e/esat) readings are based on the fundamental dew point and temperature measurements. The range and accuracy of mass (ppmw) and volume (ppmv) ratios are calculated based on the fundamental dew point measurement and pressure and gas molecular weight constants.
Repeatability 0.05°C
Display Two simultaneous parameters with 0.01°C resolution. "Dew Layer Thickness," "Control," "Alarm" and "Service" indicators
Analog output Two linear simultaneous parameters. 0/4 to 20 mA (isolated) with 250? max load
