Intelligent probes with maximum accuracy and stability
The accuracy and long-term stability of Indigo probes are in a class of their own. They give you a sixth sense you can rely on: The ability to detect even the weakest signals and make better and earlier decisions.
Humidity and temperature sensors
Indigo humidity sensors are based on Vaisala's proprietary HUMICAP® technology, which is known for its excellent long-term stability, sensor heating for condensing environments and full recovery after condensation, resistance to dust and most chemicals, and dry cleaning option.
The Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP1 is designed for indoor measurements. The probe head and probe body form a single unit without cables.
The Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP3 is a universal probe suitable for a wide range of industrial processes. The design of the probe allows the sensor to be replaced without tools. This makes it suitable, for example, for paint booths and other industrial applications where regular recalibration is not sufficient to maintain the performance of the probe. Other application examples include industrial HVAC systems, clean rooms and climate chambers.
The Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP4 is designed for high pressure processes in marine, breathing air and industrial applications where performance and chemical resistance are of particular importance.
