The glass-to-metal seal in the probe mount is certified to
meet ANSL/UL 122701 single seal standards ensuring reliable
isolation of the probe electronics from the process.
The HygroPro XP consists of a display head and a replaceable
transducer element (RTE), which contains the aluminum
oxide moisture sensor, thermistor and optional pressure
transducer with associated electronics. The calibration data
for the moisture and pressure sensors are stored on a non-
volatile EEPROM in the RTE, the user does not need to enter any
calibration data manually when changing an RTE.
