Humidity, Moisture Sensors

HIH6030-000-001 is a state-of-the-art humidity/moisture sensor used in various industries. This type of humidity/moisture sensor is particularly suitable for applications in hostile environments because its components are corrosion-resistant and have a long life-span. It is a reliable and efficient way to measure the moisture content of a particular material.

Application Field

HIH6030-000-001 is suitable for many applications such as air conditioning, industrial process control and monitoring, HVAC systems, building management systems, agricultural and farming equipment, and portable devices. Its advanced sensing capabilities also make it ideal for medical gadgets, humidity analyses, and safety monitoring. The sensor provides accurate readings and is also extremely resistant to harsh environmental conditions. It is built to withstand temperatures ranging from -4°F to 212°F (-20°C to 100°C) and water pressure of up to 20 bar (294 psi).

Working Principle

The operation of HIH6030-000-001 is based on the principle of capacitance. This consists of two sensing plates that hold a small amount of humidity, creating a capacitance between them. The capacitance value is proportional to the relative humidity in the air. These two plates are then suspended in the air and the electrical capacity between them is measured by a dedicated circuit. This value is then converted to an electrical signal and the relative humidity is determined.

The HIH6030-000-001 humidity/moisture sensor also features built-in temperature compensation which provides reliable readings regardless of the ambient temperature. It also comes with digital output options, allowing for easy integration with various systems. Its advanced features and industry-leading performance make it an ideal choice for many applications.
