GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. Description The 083F sensor is an extremely accurate microprocessor controlled relative humidity sensor. The relative humidity sensor responds to the full range of 0 to 100% humidity. Response is linear with negligible hysteresis or temperature dependence. The sensor is designed to be mounted in a radiation shield when used outdoors.

The sensor’s relative humidity output is referenced to saturated water vapor pressure above liquid water. When the air temperature is below freezing, the sensor’s maximum theoretical measurement range is limited as follows: Air Temperature Maximum RH (Deg C) 083F-9800 Rev A Page 11...
Sensor Maintenance 4.5.1. Sensor Element The RH sensor element is not user-replaceable (replacement requires sensor recalibration). If the element becomes damaged please send the 083F sensor to Met One Instruments for repair. Please obtain shipping instructions and a return authorization (RA) number before returning any unit.
