Humidity Sensors

Humidity sensors are electronic devices that detect and measure the humidity in the environment where it is deployed and converts the findings into a corresponding electrical signal. Humidity sensors can be divided into two groups: relative humidity (RH) sensors and absolute humidity (AH) sensors. Relative humidity is calculated by comparing the current humidity reading, at a given temperature, to the maximum amount of humidity for air at the same temperature. RH sensors measure temperature in order to determine relative humidity. Absolute humidity is measured without reference to temperature. 

There are three basic types of humidity sensors: capacitive, resistive and thermal. Capacitive humidity sensors measure relative humidity by placing a thin strip of metal oxide between two electrodes. The metal oxide’s electrical capacity changes with the atmosphere’s relative humidity. Capacitive type sensors are linear and can measure relative humidity from 0% to 100%. Resistive humidity sensors utilize ions in salts to measure the electrical impedance of atoms. As humidity changes, so does the resistance of the electrodes on either side of the salt medium.  Thermal humidity sensors utilize two thermal sensors to conduct electricity based on the humidity of the surrounding air. One sensor is encased in dry nitrogen while the other measures ambient air. The difference between the two measures the humidity.

The ACI Relative Humidity with Thermistor Outside Air Series utilizes a thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element with factory applied hygroscopic filter to deliver a proportional analog current or voltage output signal. The hygroscopic filter provides added resistance to moisture, dust, and other chemicals for greater long term reliability. The RH Outside Air transmitter features integral DIP switches for field selection of the proper output signal and supply voltage to meet your applications requirements. Each unit also contains 0%, 50%, and 100% test options to verify that the transmitter is both working and wired properly. Field calibration also can be performed by using the increment and decrement calibration DIP switches without the need to replace the sensing element. These enhancements provide increased flexibility and outstanding long-term reliability. Outside Air configurations feature a weatherproof Euro style enclosure with gasketed cover and conformally coated circuit boards for added moisture and chemical resistance. Three and Five-point NIST Calibration Certificates are available upon request but they must be ordered separately. Applications: Monitor Outdoor Air Humidity, Economizer Control, Psychrometric calculations such as Enthalpy and Dew point, Wash down Applications

The ACI Relative Humidity Duct utilizes a thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element with a factory ­fitted hydrophobic fi­lter to improve its moisture resistance. The sensing elements multilayer construction also provides excellent resistance in applications where dust, dirt, oils and common environmental chemicals are found. (For RH/Temp combination units, please see data sheet for temperature output specifications). The RH duct sensors include on board DIP switches which allow the user to select the desired output signal (0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC, & 4-20 mA) and can be powered by AC or DC power sources. Each unit also contains 0%, 50%, and 100% test options to verify that the transmitter is both working and wired properly. Field calibration can be performed by using the increment and decrement calibration DIP switches without the need to replace the sensing element. These enhancements provide increased flexibility and outstanding long-term reliability without the need to replace the sensors in the ­field. Duct confi­gurations feature a weatherproof Euro style enclosure with a gasketed cover and conformally coated circuit boards for increased moisture resistance in high humidity environments. The sensor is protected by a stainless-steel sintered fi­lter. Three and Five-point NIST Calibration Certifi­cates (for RH) are available and must be ordered separately when placing your order. Applications: Humidi­fication, Dehumidifi­cation, Supply / Discharge / Return Air, Economizers, Clean Rooms, Data Centers, Process Control, Schools, Hospitals, Office Buildings

The ACI Relative Humidity Room Series utilizes a thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element with a factory fi­tted hydrophobic ­filter to improve its moisture resistance. The sensing elements multilayer construction also provides excellent resistance in applications where dust, dirt, oils and common environmental chemicals are found. (For RH/Temp combination units, please see data sheet for temperature output specifications). The RH room sensors include on board DIP switches which allow the user to select the desired output signal and can be powered by AC or DC power sources. Single point ­field calibration can be performed by using the increment and decrement calibration DIP switches to adjust your curve up or down in +/- 0.5% increments with each toggle of the corresponding switches. These enhancements provide increased flexibility and outstanding long-term reliability without the need to replace the sensors in the ­field. There are two enclosure options in this series which should satisfy most commercial decors. Both enclosures feature four-way air‑ow to minimize self-heating. Three and Five-point NIST Calibration Certi­ficates are available and must be ordered separately when placing your order.
