Duel Humidity / Temperature / Dew-point Detector

The Belfort Model 45002 Dual Humidity/Temperature/Dew-point detector provides a fully calibrated digital output that is the average output from two solid state (CMOS) sensors to provide improved accuracy and continuous error detection alerting users of any degradation in measurement accuracy due to contamination or damage. Should either sensor differ from the other sensor by a predetermined limit, the detector output will indicate degraded accuracy thereby significantly reducing the possibility of user decisions based on inaccurate information.

Packaged in a standard 5/8 inch (15.87mm) OD and 6 3/4 inch (171.5 mm) nylon cylinder with a stainless steel wire mesh dust protector covering the two sensors. The dust protectors are made with 200X600 grid 0.0026/0.0018 inch 300 series stainless steel sintered wire mesh screen significantly minimizing sensor contamination. These stainless steel screens snap in place with magnetic retainers allowing them to be easily removed for cleaning or replacement.
