Optidew

 High Performance Optical Dew-Point Transmitter
The Optidew high performance optical dew-point transmitter works on the proven, fundamental optical dew-point measurement principle, giving unmatched and drift-free long-term performance. It offers a wide measurement range from the equivalent of <0.5 to 100% RH at ambient temperatures from -40 to +90°C.

Optidew provides two linear 4-20 mA outputs in addition to serial communications, allowing configuration and monitoring by a suitable computer or PLC system or via specific Optidew logging software. An adjustable volt-free contact alarm means that the Optidew can be used for direct process control. An optional high definition alphanumeric display provides local indication of the measured humidity.
