ROTRONIC – a probe revolution

Tuesday 20. May 2008 - ROTRONIC has extended its leadership in humidity and temperature measurement with the introduction of the HygroClip 2. The new HygroClip 2, the second generation of the HygroClip family, is reaching a level of performance not seen before in the field of humidity measurement.

The AirChip3000 – the new standard in 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 AirChip 3000 – a probe with active intelligence
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).

The new sensor technology
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.
