HMT330MIK Meteorological Installation Kit
The Vaisala Meteorological
Installation Kit HMT330MIK enables
the Vaisala HUMICAP
®
Humidity
and Temperature Transmitter
HMT337 to be installed outdoors to
obtain reliable measurements for
meteorological purposes.
True Humidity Readings in
Condensing Conditions
In weather observations dew
formation makes reliable humidity
measurement difficult. When dew has
formed on the humidity sensor, it is
impossible to obtain a true reading
until this dew evaporates.
Both the PTU307 and HMT337 avoid
this problem by warming the probe.
When warmed, the relative humidity
inside the probe stays below the
ambient level. With an accurate
temperature measurement, the
ambient dewpoint can be calculated
precisely. To obtain the ambient
relative humidity, an additional probe
measures the ambient temperature,
The HMT337 and PTU307 feature warmed probe technology. Installed with the
HMT330MIK kit either one forms the right choice for reliable humidity measurement
in humid weather conditions.
and the transmitter calculates the
relative humidity from the dewpoint
and temperature values.
Open Shield Prevents
Microclimates
The warmed probe of the HMT337/
PTU307 is mounted in a shield which
is open at the bottom to ensure steady
air circulation to the sensor even in
calm weather.
In traditional radiation shields sleet
or snow can accumulate on the shield
and prevent the proper air circulation
through the shield, and create a humid
microclimate until the snow melts.
Essential for Critical
Weather Measurements
Obtaining a true humidity reading is
particularly important e.g. in traffic
safety: at airports and at sea as well
as on the roads. It is essential, for
example, in fog and frost prediction.
Features/Benefits
For outdoor humidity and
temperature measurements
Can be ordered in a variety of
configurations
Used together with HMT337
transmitter or PTU307
Vaisala SPH 10/20 Static
Pressure Head eliminates

HMT337/PTU307 Features
Warmed probe provides
true humidity readings in
condensing conditions
Humidity measurement
expressed as relative humidity
and/or dewpoint temperature
Easy field calibration with the
HM70 hand-held meter
After a period of 100 % relative humidity,
the warmed probe measures the true
humidity, whereas the non-warmed
probe takes time to recover from the
condensation.
For calibration, a portable HMP77
reference probe is easy to attach beside
the HMT337 or PTU307 probe.
