Rotronic extend the lead in humidity and temperature measurement

24 February 2009

Rotronic Humidity has introduced the HygroClip 2, the second generation of the HygroClip family and is reaching a level of performance not seen before in the field of humidity measurement.

The AirChip3000 forms the core of the new HygroClip 2. The AirChip 3000 capabilities include the compensation of humidity and temperature at 30,000 reference points, the recording of 2000 data points, and the calculation of dew point. The AirChip3000 can do even more, including self-diagnostics. If sensor accuracy declines significantly, the AirChip 3000 recognises the problem and will issue an alarm. It also combines within itself an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), a micro-controller and a non-volatile, electronic memory (EEPROM). 

Combined with the new technology of the AirChip3000, ROTRONIC has further improved the humidity sensor.  Today, the HygroClip 2 provides reproducibility and a guaranteed system accuracy of < 0.8% r.h. and 0.1°C.  In addition, response time has been significantly improved, and new filter technology provides even better protection for the sensor against environmental influences. Combining all of these features with an operating range of up to 200°C provides a level of performance no other humidity sensor in the world can equal.

Of course, the HygroClip 2 is suitable for use with all ROTRONIC products - from handhelds, transmitters and data loggers to the meteo probe. As our product development moves forward, the HygroClip 2 will be integrated in all of our products.   For OEM customers the analog, freely scaleable signals and the UART interface, provide an easy path to integration into any system.
