VCP-PTH450
Product Description
VCP-PTH450: Atmospheric pressure, temperature and relative humidity sensor with improved accuracy and aluminum probe – with VCP mode
Part of the PTH series of measuring instrument, the PTH450 is designed for environmental high-precision pressure, temperature and humidity acquisition where an extended temperature range is required (-40°C to +125°C) or where the sensor needs extra physical protection. With its factory calibrated, linearized and temperature compensated digital sensor chip, it is field interchangeable, and thanks to its precision electronics, extremely small variations in temperature and humidity can be acquired using a standard USB port.
The compact aluminum probe eases integration, even in space-constrained locations, and the internal particle filter provides protection against dust, soot, and other contaminants.
