The dewpoint mirror is a highly accurate and reliable method for measuring the absolute humidity of air or other gases.
The presented model belongs to the third generation of dewpoint mirror measuring systems, which now feature extended measuring ranges and meet modern requirements with respect to operation and data processing.
The Dewpoint Mirror Measuring System TS-2 consists of a Control Unit and the Dewpoint Mirror Measuring Head (TS-2M). The control unit has been designed to mount in a standard 19” rack, allowing easy integration into other systems.
Since the measuring head and the control unit are separate units connected via a long cable, the dewpoint can be measured directly on-site.
Connection of a Pt100 sensor to the optional temperature transducer enables the measuring gas temperature to be recorded. Relative humidity is also calculated by the software and displayed.
The dewpoint mirror measuring system is microprocessor-controlled. The menu structure of the internal software makes operation very simple. The control unit can be addressed via serial interface.
