With the new HTS801, E+E Elektronik is launching its most powerful humidity and temperature sensor for industrial applications to date. The versatile high-end measuring device combines the Austrian sensor specialist's decades of experience in the field of humidity measurement with the high quality demands of industrial measurement technology. The probes of the HTS801 feature a high-quality, heatable sensor element for precise and long-term stable measurements even under the most difficult conditions. Additional options such as a generous color display or plug-and-play probe replacement using rapidX technology ensure user-friendly operation and easy maintenance.
Excellent measurement performance, wide range of applications

The HTS801 is particularly well suited for use in applications with high humidity and chemical exposure. The basis for this is the monolithically constructed E+E sensor element. An integrated heater enables targeted heating of the sensor element, thus preventing condensation and its negative effects on the measurement result. Depending on the requirements, two construction-specific operating modes are available:

"Condensation Guard" for short-term condensation risk
"High Humidity Guard" for permanent high humidity and condensing conditions
In addition, all HTS801 models have an Automatic ReCovery (ARC) function. This removes chemical contaminants and prevents possible drift effects by briefly heating the sensor element intensively.

In addition, the proven E+E sensor coating protects the sensor element and its solder joints from corrosion or deposits. This special coating extends the service life of the sensor and ensures accurate measurement results and improved long-term stability in harsh or corrosive environments.

Thanks to its wide range of use from -80 °C to 180 °C and 300 bar, the HTS801 is suitable for a wide variety of applications, such as monitoring drying processes, humidity and temperature monitoring in fuel cell test benches, climate chambers or high-humidity storage rooms, to demanding measurement tasks in meteorology and much more.

The rugged polycarbonate or stainless steel housing with IP65 / NEMA 4X protection allows easy mounting and maintenance of the HTS801.

Plug-and-play probe replacement

The HTS801 offers the option of smart, plug-in probes. Each HTS801 rapidX smart probe can be exchanged in a plug-and-play manner without configuration, adjustment or calibration. The specific parameters are stored directly in the probe and are transmitted to the sensor when it is plugged in. This avoids downtime and costs if a probe needs to be replaced due to damage or for recalibration.

Display with data logging and diagnostic function

The HTS801 is optionally available with a 3.5" TFT color display. This allows up to four measured variables to be displayed simultaneously and monitored on site. The integrated data logging function stores up to 20 000 measured values per measured variable. These can be shown graphically on the display or downloaded via the USB service interface. The on-board diagnostics function allows the operating status of the HTS801 to be checked directly on the device.

Interfaces and configuration

The measurement data is available at two freely scalable analog outputs, the RS485 (Modbus RTU) or Ethernet PoE (Modbus TCP) interface, and at two alarm (relay) outputs. This allows a flexible integration of the sensor into customer specific data acquisition systems.

The configuration of the HTS801 can be done via the USB port with the free configuration software PCS10 or directly at the device via display and push buttons.
