Rotronic Hygrostat HS5 Humidity & Temperature Transmitter

Rotronic Hygrostat HS5 Humidity & Temperature Transmitter
Rotronic Hygrostat HS5 series of transmitters measures relative humidity and temperature that are converted to psychrometric parameters as requested regarding the application.
Measurements are read via a ethernet cable and when the preset switching threshold is reached a relay switches. The Hygrostat HS5 series measure with interchangeable HygroClip2 probes, enabling an unrivaled class of accuracy.
Hygrostat HS5 offers unique calibration and adjustment process in relation to other products that are currently on the market.
The HS5 transmitters offer repeatability of < 0.02 %RH and with the HC2-S guaranteed system accuracy of < 0.8 %RH and 0.1 K.
Typical applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, printing and paper industries, meteorology, the agricultural sector, archeology, HVAC applications, etc

ROTRONIC – HUMIDITY MEASUREMENT IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest users of humidity measurement equipment. Most drugs are sensitive to variations in humidity and moisture levels, so these need to be considered and controlled using measurement instruments, probes and sensors for the final products to be consistent in quality and performance.
Humidity Measurement Applications
Humidity instruments are used to both control (transmitters) and monitor (transmitters or data loggers) these conditions during “accelerated conditions” drug testing.
Production machines, driers, tableters, and coaters are all sensitive to humidity – quality control requires machine monitoring, area monitoring and final product Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH) measurement.
Clean room environments are humidity critical – environmental monitoring system (EMS) and measurement is validated to conform with regulatory requirements.
