The Michell Instruments S8000 Remote chilled mirror hygrometer features a new sensor design, incorporating a high-precision 1/10DIN PT100 to provide ±0.18°F (0.1°C) accuracy of dew point measurement. To further improve the accuracy of pressure-derived calculated values, an optional external pressure transducer can provide real-time pressure compensation for these parameters. This allows for continued measurement stability even during sample pressure fluctuations.
The remote sensor design allows the open cell sensor to be placed directly into the environment to be monitored. For more challenging applications, where direct insertion is not possible, the sensor can be mounted in a sample block and included in a sampling system.
The choice of communication methods allows straightforward connection to a DCS, PLC or datalogger. Alternatively, Michell provides PC-based application software, allowing control of all instrument functionality remotely and the ability to graph and log parameters directly to the host PC. A high-contrast touch screen LCD display provides customizable local indication of the measured values, a trend graph, and fault warnings.
The hygrometer’s built-in logging system provides the ability to log the values of the instrument parameters at operator-specified intervals. The log files are saved directly onto an SD memory card for easy transfer to a PC for analysis or correlation with test results.
