HM1520LF – Relative Humidity Module
•
•
•
•
•
•
Tubular form for through wall mounting
Product free from Lead, Cr(6+), Cd and Hg
Calibrated, linear voltage for easy electronic interface
Typical 1 to 1.6 Volt DC output for 0 to 20% RH at
5Vdc supply
Ratiometric to voltage supply
Patented solid polymer structure
DESCRIPTION
Based on the rugged HS1101LF capacitive humidity sensor, HM1520LF 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.

Calibration data are
traceable to NIST
standards through CETIAT laboratory.
IMPORTANT NOTICE : HM1520LF is based on HS1101LF capacitive sensor and thus is fully useable on a
large range of relative humidity (1% to 99% RH). In that range, HM1520LF presents a typical accuracy of
+/-5% RH at 55% RH.)
However HM1520LF is a dedicated module for humidity measurements at low Relative Humidity levels.
Thus, HM1520LF is also well adapted to measure water concentrations (ppm) or low dew points when
associated with an ambient temperature probe.
HM1520LF features an optimized accuracy for
water concentration below 6000 ppm water or 0°C dew point
at 23°
(equivalent to 20% RH).
