New Rotronic HF5A Advanced Humidity and Temperature Transmitter

The new HF5A Advanced Humidity and Temperature Transmitter is ideal for all applications where the exact measurement of humidity and temperature is of decisive importance, for example the food and pharmaceutical industries, printing and paper industries, meteorology, agricultural sector, archaeology and climatology. The HF5A can also provide Psychrometric calculations for more detailed outputs of readings, making this unit more suitable for more detailed analysis of environmental conditions. The transmitters come in various configurations and the optional software allows digital versions to be networked together to form a dedicated environmental monitoring system.
