To reduce the current drain, power can be supplied to the HMP155A only during measurement when the sensor is connected to the data logger’s switched 12 V terminal. Data loggers that do not have a switched 12 V terminal, such as the CR510 or CR7, can use the SW12V switched 12 V device to switch power to the sensor only during measurement.
Benefits and Features
- Well-suited for long-term, unattended applications
- Accurate and rugged
- Mounts to a mast, cross-arm, or user-supplied pole
- Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
The HMP155A provides reliable relative humidity (RH) and temperature measurements for a wide range of applications. It uses a HUMICAP®180R capacitive thin film polymer sensor to measure RH over the 0 to 100% RH range. A PRT measures temperature over the -80° to +60°C range. This rugged, accurate temperature/RH probe is manufactured by Vaisala.
- An air temperature and relative humidity (RH) sensor that provides reliable measurements for a wide range of applications.
- Can be used as part of a weather station system or as a single instrument.
- Replaces the HMP45C, which is still available but will be retired in late 2010.
- Uses the 41005-5 radiation shield, which is different from the one used by the HMP45C.
