Figure 11 MMP8 dimensions Vaisala HUMICAPâ Moisture in Oil Probe MMP8 enables fast and reliable measurement of moisture in oil. It uses proven Vaisala HUMICAPâ sensor that was developed for demanding dissolved moisture measurements in transformer and lubrication oils, hydraulic fluids, and other liquids.
HMP3, HMP4, HMP5, HMP7, HMP8, HMP9, MMP8, TMP1 User Guide M212022EN-D MMP8 can also output ppm, the average mass concentration of water in oil. Vaisala has this conversion readily available for specific oils, including mineral transformer oil. This allows continuous measurement of ppm concentration in power transformer condition monitoring.

HMP3, HMP4, HMP5, HMP7, HMP8, HMP9, MMP8, TMP1 User Guide M212022EN-D 6. Maintenance 6.1 Cleaning the probe CAUTION! Do not attempt to clean the sensors under the filter in any way. Do not spray anything directly on the probe head, since that may deposit impurities on the sensors.
Only the HUMICAPâ R2 sensor is designed to be replaced by the user. Other humidity sensor types available for HMP series probes are composite sensors where the humidity sensor and temperature sensor are permanently attached together. If you need to replace a composite sensor, contact a Vaisala Service Center. CAUTION! Sensors are easily damaged when the filter is not in place.
When adjustment is necessary, you can have Vaisala calibrate and adjust the probe. To order calibration services from Vaisala, visit store.vaisala.com. You can also do the adjustment yourself using the Insight software.
Make sure the measurement has stabilized and the reference environment is reliable. If the required adjustment is still too large, the probe needs to be serviced by Vaisala. When adjustment of humidity measurement is necessary, Vaisala recommends adjusting in two points, 11 %RH and 75 %RH.
Chapter 6 – Maintenance 6.4.2 Adjusting measurement with Insight software • Computer with Windows operating system and Vaisala Insight software installed • Vaisala USB cable 242659 for connecting the probe • Reference environment(s) for producing the desired humidity and/or temperature This procedure can be used to adjust the probe's humidity or temperature measurement.

Chapter 6 – Maintenance 2. To adjust humidity measurement: a. If your probe supports the chemical purge feature, wait for the start-up purge to finish or start the purge manually from Calibration > Configuration > Purge. Measurement will be frozen for the duration of the purge. Continue when the measured values are changing again.
