HMP45A & HMP45D Relative Humidity and
Temperature Probes; Solar Radiation Shield
Features/Benefi ts
• Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and
Temperature Probes HMP45A/D
provide up to 100 %RH with high
accuracy
• Vaisala HUMICAP® Sensor for
excellent accuracy, negligible
hysteresis and long-term stability
in high humidities, and is resistance
to dust and most chemicals.
e HMP45A and HMP45D humidity
and temperature probes are excellent for
measuring humidity in weather stations.
Versatile probes
e Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and
Temperature Probes HMP45A and
HMP45D are designed for a wide range
of instrumentation (e.g. recorders, data
loggers, laboratory equipment and
weather stations.)
e probes interface easily, are simple
to service, operate from a wide range
of supply voltages and consume little
power.
e HMP45A/D is an excellent
solution for measuring humidity in
weather stations. However, the Vaisala
HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature
Transmitter HMP337, with warmed
sensor head, is a better solution if
condensation continuously disturbs
measurement.
Vaisala HUMICAP® Sensor
e combined performance of the
Vaisala HUMICAP® Sensor and IP65
(NEMA 4) protected probe provides
accurate and repeatable humidity and
temperature measurements in high
humidity.
Easy fi eld maintenance
Field calibration is easy. e probe
head containing the sensor and
electronics can be quickly removed
from the probe body, a replacement
installed and the measurements
continued while the other sensor head
is calibrated in a laboratory.
' e DTR503A shield provides protection
from both scattered and direct solar
radiation, and precipitation.
On-site, one-point
calibration
One-point calibration of relative
humidity and temperature can be done
in the eld using Vaisala HUMICAP®
Humidity Indicator HMI41.
Shield protects sensor
Vaisala Radiation Shield DTR503A is a
naturally ventilated, maintenance-free,
12 plate plastic shield that protects
the humidity and temperature sensors
from both scattered and direct solar
radiation, and precipitation. e
plastic material in the plates o ers
excellent thermal characteristics and
UV stabilized construction. e white
outer surface re ects radiation, while
the black inside absorbs accumulated
heat.
e shield is easy to install and is
suitable for a wide range of applications.
It can be installed on a vertical pole,
horizontal beam, or at surface.
