3 Product Description
3.1 General
The EE260 probe is optimized for accurate and reliable relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T)
measurement in meteorology and demanding outdoor applications.
Mounted in its upright position, the air first passes over EE260‘s Pt100 temperature sensing element,
then over the heated probe shaft and over the heated humidity sensing element. This dual heating
system prevents condensation or icing of the RH sensing element, on the probe head and on the filter
cap. This leads to short response times and fast recovery as well as to precise RH measurement even
under continuously high humidity and condensing conditions.
