The humidity detector has a measuring range of 0 ... 100% absolute humidity. The humidity detector is operated via the 5" large touchscreen. To measure the moisture content with the humidity detector, a sample is evenly distributed on the sample pan. The sample pan is then placed and sealed in the humidity detector. After setting all parameters, the humidity detector begins the measurement.

The humidity detector determines the moisture content based on the measured weight difference, relative to the weight before and after drying the sample. The adjustable temperature range for the humidity detector is between 40 ... 165 °C. Thus, a specific drying temperature for the sample can be selected with the humidity detector. The generated drying temperature is produced by a built-in halogen lamp with a diameter of 90 mm.

The drying process of the sample makes the humidity detector usable in various fields. Thus, the humidity detector finds its application, for example, in laboratories to measure the moisture of different powders, in quality control to determine the moisture of granules, or on farms to determine the moisture content of oats, grains, or wheat.

A major advantage over devices using capacitive measuring methods is that the humidity detector operates independently of characteristic curves and provides more accurate results.

The measured values can be transferred to a PC via the Serial RS232 interface of the humidity detector for analysis. A suitable software is available optionally for the humidity detector. If required, the humidity detector can be supplied with an ISO calibration certificate.
