The HF7 features well proven sensors and a robust housing. Digital signal processing ensures consistent product performance and also facilitates the task of field maintenance with features such as potentiometer free – digital calibration. Based on the ROTRONIC AirChip 3000 digital technology the HF7 series offers the following functions: • User configurable settings •...
Using the ROTRONIC HW4 software, the HF7 can be configured by the user to calculate either the dew point or the frost point. Analog output signals With the ROTRONIC HW4 software any of the two analog output signals can be made to correspond to one of the following: •...
The service connector is a UART digital interface (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) with a mini- USB type connector. This allows connecting the HF7 either to a PC running the ROTRONIC HW4 software or to a probe input of another instrument that is compatible with the HygroClipAdvanced 2 (HC2A) probes. In both cases a service cable is required.
