Vaisala HUMICAP® Hand-Held
Humidity and Temperature Meter
HM40 is compact, robust and
affordable. It is an ideal spotchecking tool that is easy to use and
provides a reliable measurement.
It can be used for various portable
measurement applications.
Simple and easy to use
The HM40 includes a user-friendly,

push buttons. The multilingual user
interface with 10 different languages,
is simple and intuitive to use.
Also many other settings can be
modied by the user to best suit his
individual needs.
In addition to relative humidity and
temperature, the HM40 provides
5 calculated humidity quantities,
all available in both metric and nonmetric units.
The meter is powered by 2 AA-sized
batteries. An external NiMH battery
recharger with USB connection and
rechargeable NiMH batteries are
offfered as an option. Each HM40
comes also with a handy belt clip.
