Mounted through a duct wall, this transmitter measures relative humidity in the air stream to ±2% accuracy using a thermoset polymer capacitive element behind a hydrophobic filter. A matched 1,000 ohm nickel RTD shares the housing, so humidity and temperature reach the controller from a single duct penetration. Field-selectable outputs cover 0-5 and 0-10 V DC and 4-20 mA.

The ACI Relative Humidity with Nickel RTD Duct Series utilizes a thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element with a factory fitted hydrophobic filter to improve its moisture resistance. The sensing elements multilayer construction also provides excellent resistance in applications where dust, dirt, oils and common environmental chemicals are found. The RH duct sensors include on board DIP switches which allow the user to select the desired output signal and can be powered by AC or DC power sources. Each unit also contains 0%, 50%, and 100% test options to verify that the transmitter is both working and wired properly.
