Hygrometrix launches new humidity transmitter

Mar. 7, 2006 – Hygrometrix of Alpine, Calif., announced the first product in its new HMX3000 transmitter line, the HMX3000-RH-420.

The company says the device was specifically designed to provide better performance at a lower cost. It is intended for customers who want to replace or update older humidity transmitters in clean rooms, factories, greenhouses and other locations.

Hygrometrix says the transmitter provides better than 2 percent accuracy across the measurement range and full temperature compensation for span and offset. It has full digital calibration and no user adjustments or setup is required.

The HMX3000 uses Hygrometrix’s Hygrotron MEMS-based sensor, which uses a proprietary technique called Shear Stress/Strain hygrometry to measure humidity. By converting humidity to voltage mechanically, the device avoids many of the failure modes that plague sensor technologies.

The HMX3000-RH-420 is priced in single unit quantities at $475. Volume discounts are available for 5, 10 and 20 unit orders.
