Room/Outdoor Relative Humidity and
Relative Humidity/Temperature Sensors
QFA Series
AQY2010
Remote Sensing Cable
Shown with QFA3100.
Description
The QFA Series Outdoor Air Relative Humidity and
Relative Humidity/Temperature Sensors monitor and
transmit changes in humidity and temperature to the
building control systems. Standard models available
are 2% and 2% certied, for both humidity only and
combination humidity with temperature sensing.
Sensors are offered with either 4 to 20 mA or
0 to 10 Volt output signals.
Features
• 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 Vdc output signals
• High degree of accuracy
• Removable, replaceable sensing tip sold seperately
on B-39
• "D" sufx models include LCD Display*
* Units with display are not intended for outdoor use.
QFA3100 Series
Outdoor Air Relative Humidity and
Relative Humidity/Temperature Sensor.
AQF3100
Sunshield for Sensor.
Sold Separately.
Applications
The QFA Series Relative Humidity and Relative Humidity/
Temperature Sensors are especially suited for applications
where precise, stable humidity sensing is required.
For outdoor applications, an AQF 3100 sunshield is
required (sold seperately).
