Your benefits with the testo 6682 humidity transmitter
The new testo 6682 humidity transmitter for Ex applications meets the most
stringent requirements for process monitoring in explosive applications for
pharmaceutical, chemical and process engineering.
Process safety and system availability are supported by the excellent features of
teso 6682 which enthuse those working in the field:
• Highest accuracy and long-term stability of ±1% RH
• Preventive maintenance through self-monitoring and early warning
• Historical traceability thanks to internal log
• Flexible calibration concept
• Replaceable digital testo 6616 probe
• Display and operating menu for easy operation with parameterization,
adjustment and analysis
Testo’s humidity sensor: The core piece of high quality humidity transmitters
now also for Ex areas
Testo is the first choice when it comes to superior humidity transmitters for a
critical climate and drying processes. Using our many years of experience, the
sensor concept and signal processing have now been completely overhauled.
Accuracy and long-term stability were tested as part of 5 years of interlaboratory
tests by different national calibration laboratories (PTB, CETIAT, NIST etc.). Even
without a new adjustment, the ± 1% RH limit was not exceeded.
You are on the safe side thanks to the accuracy, stability and efficiency of the
Testo humidity transmitter.

testo 6682’s versatile calibration concept
Highest process stability through early warnings and selfmonitoring
The testo 6682 humidity transmitter has numerous self-analyses
available such as a warning if drift is suspected on the basis of 2 point
adjustments or incongruous operational voltage. These messages are
sent by signal to the display of the person responsible.
Thanks to this early warning system, the person responsible can
reactly promptly and take the necessary measures before the process
is interrupted. The keyword is: “System availability”.
Time-optimised handing and traceability thanks to the
exchangeable, digital testo 6616 probe
The testo 6616 humidity probe can be easily replaced by hand.
Adjustment and calibration data remain saved in the probe.
In order to be able to trace the probe’s duration of use and the
adjustments carried out, testo 6616 has its own serial number, an
operational hours counter as well as an internal log which makes
visible, on the transmitter’s operating menu, how long the probe has
already been in use and which configurations have been made.
Time saving and highest precision thanks to a practicable
calibration concept
Testo’s adjustment concept makes it possible to adjust the complete
signal chain from sensor signal (probe) using digital signal (inside
transmitter) to analog signal (isolating amplifier output signal)
The operating menu gives you the option of carrying out
• 1 point adjustments
• 2 point adjustments (can be carried out in seconds using
adjustment buttons)
• Analog adjustments
Adjustment information is stored digitally in the probe’s internal
memory. That’s how 1 point adjustments as well as 2 point
adjustments are made directly on-site or on a different testo 6682
humidity transmitter (e.g. in a calibration laboratory).
World innovation:
Thanks to analog output adjustments, it is possible to eliminate
measurement errors occurring in the transmitter on account of digital
analog conversion.
