  • Page 3 HMP45A and HMP45D U274en-1.2 Operating Manual GENERAL The HMP45A and HMP45D probes are designed for the measurement of relative humidity and temperature. Humidity measurement is based on the  capacitive thin film polymer sensor HUMICAP 180. Temperature measurement is based on resistive platinum sensors (Pt 100 and Pt 1000). Both the humidity and temperature sensors are located at the tip of the probe and in standard version protected by a membrane filter.

    Figure 2 Adjustment trimmers and probe head connection/disconnection In calibration, the HMP45A/D output is normally read from the output cables. The HMP45A probe head can also be checked with Vaisala’s HMI41 indicator (see Figure 2); the probe head can be connected either to the HMH45 handle, or directly to the HMI41 indicator.

    HMI41. Humidity calibration For a high-accuracy two-point calibration use a Vaisala HMK15 or HMK13B calibrator and saturated salt solutions as described in the respective manuals. Leave the calibrator, the HMI41 and the probe head in the same space for at least four hours so that their temperatures have time to equalize.
