TECHNICAL DATA PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET RELATIVE HUMIDITY MODULE HM1520 Based on the rugged HS1101 humidity sensor, HM1520 is a dedicated humidity transducer designed for measurements at low humidity. Direct measurement of dew point or water concentration can be easily obtained in really cost effective conditions. Direct interface with a micro-controller is made possible with the module’s linear voltage output. Main features • • • • • • • Tubular form for through wall mounting. Not affected by water condensation Full interchangeability. Typical 1 to 1.6 Volt DC output for 0 to 20% RH at 5 V DC supply. Calibrated, linear voltage for easy electronic interface. Controlled temperature dependency Ratiometric to voltage supply Humidity sensor specific features • • • No affected by long period at low humidity values. Patented solid polymer structure. High resistance to chemicals. • Fast response time.

Humirel Sensor Device Data / HPC009-20 RevA December 2000 2 TECHNICAL DATA IMPORTANT NOTICE : HM1520 is based on HS1101 capacitive sensor and thus is fully useable on a large range of relative humidity ( 1 to 99% RH). In that range, HM1520 presents a typical accuracy of +/-5% RH at 55% RH.) However HM1520 is a dedicated module for humidity measurements at low Relative Humidity levels. Thus, HM1520 is also well adapted to measure water concentrations (ppm) or low dew points when associated with an ambient temperature probe. HM1520 features an optimized accuracy for water concentration below 6000ppm water or 0°C dew point at 23°C (equivalent to 20% RH) .
