WR285

Digital Relative Humidity Transmitter - Remote Probe for Pressurized Applications up to 30 bar (400 psi)

Technical Speciﬁ cations

Performance

Measurement range (RH) 0–100% RH

HYGROSMART ®

INTERCHANGEABLE PROBE

The WR285 relative humidity sensor uses the Hygrosmart module, integrated in the interchangeable probe. This device can be used in high-temperature applications due to the remote measurement element and its small overall size. The interchangeable probe allows for simple recalibration and lower maintenance costs.
