MMT162 Compact Moisture in Oil and
Temperature Transmitter for OEM Applications
Water activity
measurement
The MMT162 measures moisture in
oil in terms of the water activity (aw)
and temperature (T). Water activity
directly indicates whether there is
a risk of free water formation. The
measurement is independent of oil
type, age and temperature. The ppm
calculation for mineral oil based
transformer oil is optional in the
MM T162.
Several outputs - one
connector
The MMT162 has two analog
outputs that can be scaled and
the measurement ranges changed.
Additionally, the transmitter has an
The MMT162 enables on-line moisture monitoring in oils even in the most
demanding applications.

The Vaisala HUMICAP® Moisture
and Temperature Transmitter for Oil
MMT162 is an excellent economical
solution for reliable on-line detection
of moisture in oil.
Reliable Vaisala
HUMICAP® technology
The MMT162 incorporates the latest
generation of the Vaisala HUMICAP
Sensor. The sensor is developed for
demanding moisture measurement
in liquid hydrocarbons and has been
successfully used in oil applications
for over a decade. The sensor’s
excellent chemical tolerance provides
accurate and reliable measurement
over the measurement range.
®
RS-485 serial output. The signals and
the unit power travel in the same
cable.
An optional LED-cable enables a
visual alarm.
Compact, rugged
and intelligent
Due to its compact size, the MMT162
is quickly and easily installed in
tight spaces. Units are delivered fully
assembled, however, you can recongure them to suit your needs.
MM70
In combination with an MM70
indicator, the MMT162 provides an
ideal tool for on site calibration.
The MI70 indicator can be used as a
display, communication, and datalogging device for the MMT162.
