SHTC1 Sensors, Transducers

Humidity and moisture sensors are a core area within industrial applications. The SHTC1 application field and working principle are a leading examples of how humidity and moisture measurements can accurately and reliably be monitored. This article will look to explore the SHTC1 and its functionality in detail. The SHTC1 adopts the Sensirion SHT series of humidity and temperature sensors. This sensor range is typically made up of a humidity and temperature measurement element, an analog-digital converter and a signal conditioning IC. Each operated in combination with a CMOSens® technology as the main operating principle. With this, the sensor provides excellent performance while being able to operate over a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. For each of the humidity and temperature elements, the SHTC1 provides an accurate and reliable humidity and temperature measurement system. In particular, the humidity-sensitive element comprises a polymeric film and a capacitive structure which together allow it to accurately measure humidity in the air. This element is also specifically adapted for harsh ambient conditions. Temperature measurement is made through a thermistor component which allows precision measurements up to a 1°C accuracy. The SHTC1 also incorporates a number of features that make it a very useful tool. It includes low-power operation, as well as a low power consumption thermistor element which allows for long battery life and a low cost of ownership. In addition to this, it has a small form factor with a low profile which makes it suitable for applications with limited space. Furthermore, it also has a very fast start-up time and is also resistant to thermal drift thanks to its mostly linear output with temperature and humidity levels. On the working principles side, the SHTC1 uses the CMOSens® technology. This is designed to measure the refractive index and the sensor’s temperature of air humidity. The calibration data is then collected and a signal is then sent to the analog-digital converter. This signal is then used to calculate the actual outdoor humidity values which are in turn being passed onto the signal conditioning IC and eventually to the output. With a high detection sensitivity for humidity and a fast response time, the SHTC1 offers accurate measurement in no time.Overall, the SHTC1 has proven its worth as an effective, reliable and accurate measuring tool for humidity and temperature values. The offering of low-power consumption, a small form factor and a fast response time makes the SHTC1 the perfect choice for a variety of applications in industrial humidity and moisture sensing.
