Moisture Image Series
Probe

The Moisture Image Series Probe measures moisture, temperature
(optional), and pressure (optional). The Moisture Image Series Probe
has its own electronics module that consists of a built-in
microcontroller with 16-bit resolution (see Figure 1-4 below).
The electronics module stores the probe calibration and reference data
in non-volatile memory; therefore, the user never needs to enter the
data by hand. The Moisture Image Series Probe also features
continuous compensation of its own analog circuitry to assure long-
term electronic stability.
The Moisture Image Series Probe, when operated with a BASEEFA-
approved Series 1, is intrinsically safe (see Chapter 3, Specifications,
of the Startup Guide for BASEEFA certification numbers) and
designed to meet the requirements of IEC/CENELEC zone 0 areas.
The Moisture Image Series Probe, when operated with a CSA-NRTL
certified Series 1, is intrinsically safe (see Chapter 3, Specifications,
of the Series 1 Startup Guide for CSA-NRTL certification numbers)
and designed to meet the requirements of NEC C1.1, Div. 1, Groups
A, B, C and D hazardous areas.
The Moisture Image Series Probe measures moisture content in a
standard range from –110°C to 20°C (–166°F to 68°F) dew/frost
point temperature and optionally from –110°C to 60°C (–166°F to
140°F). Additionally, the Moisture Image Series Probe can be used to
measure temperature in a range of –30°C to 70°C (–22°F to 158°F)
and pressure from 30 to 300, 50 to 500, 100 to 1000, 300 to 3000, or
500-5000 PSIG.
