Vaisala HMP240 Series Dewpoint Transmitter User Manual

HMP240 series Dewpoint Transmitters provide fast and reliable dewpoint measurement especially under high humidity conditions where dew would normally form on the humidity sensor head and thereby cause errors in measurements.

About this manual

The HMP240 Series dewpoint transmitters are designed for high‑humidity and condensing environments, offering fast, reliable dewpoint measurements by keeping the probe head temperature above ambient to prevent condensation. Two models are available: the HMP243 with a plastic probe for outdoor use and the HMP247 with a pressure‑tight steel probe for demanding industrial applications.

The manual covers technical data, optional temperature sensor options, analog and serial output configurations, installation kits, calibration procedures, and sensor re‑gaining options. It also provides wiring details, power requirements, and environmental specifications to help users install, configure, and maintain the transmitters efficiently.
