The bridge resistors The -L option on the model HMP35C are 0.1% tolerance with a 10 ppm temperature Temperature and Relative Humidity probe coefficient. Polynomial errors are tabulated in (HMP35C-L) indicates that the cable length is Table 2 and plotted in Figure 1.
H.B. and will pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings. A lead length of 6 feet allows the HMP35C to be mounted at a 2 meter height on a CM6/CM10 tripod. Use a lead length of 9 feet for the UT10 tower or a UT30 tower respectively.
