-All with Easily Replaceable Smart Sensor Tip

The HP125 Multi-Sense Humidity Probe from Edgetech Instruments is a cost effective, easy to use solution to many industrial and laboratory challenges. The HP125 probe exploits the latest advancements in polymer humidity sensing technology and compact electronic circuitry.

It continuously measures up to 4 measurement parameters using a single intelligent sensor tip, including RH%, calculated dew point, temperature and either absolute or barometric pressure. Users can choose the measurements needed for their application and budget.

The Smart Sensor Tip has local memory to inform the main probe electronics of all configuration information and calibration data. The Smart Sensor Tip can be replaced in seconds. Upon installation it is recognised and automatically synchronises with the main software within the HP125 giving the option of quick turn-around for annual calibrations.

No need to take the probe out of service for weeks for shipment and calibration off-site. Simply replace the Smart Sensor Tip with a new one. Each new Tip comes with a NIST traceable calibration certificate.

The HP125 probe provides 0-10 VDC analogue outputs plus an RS-232 serial interface for reporting functions. The Smart Sensor Tip is protected by a sintered metal filter cartridge that is also replaceable. The probe may be directly inserted into process measurement points or may be coupled with a variety of application-oriented sampling accessories for very flexible installation options.

The probe may be used stand-alone or in combination with the HP125-DCM (Display Control Module) or the SENTRY series of Compressed Gas Alarm Modules. It is powered by 24 VDC.

The HP125 may be used in the simplest configuration for ambient air monitoring or it can be mounted remotely for direct insertion into glove boxes, HVAC ducts, environmental test chambers, circulation pipes, refrigerated storage rooms, engine test filter rooms, and many other manufacturing environments.

Edgetech Instruments designs and manufacturers accurate and reliable absolute humidity hygrometers, relative humidity transmitters, humidity probes, moisture analysers, relative humidity calibrators, dew point generators and oxygen measurement instrumentation.

Edgetech Instruments products are manufactured and calibrated to the highest industry standards in a modern facility located in Hudson, Massachusetts. All calibrations are traceable to NIST.
