1. General Description

The OMEGA

®

 HX71 Series Relative Humidity Transmitter’s provide 

a linearized and temperature compensated output signal of 4 to 20 

mA, 0 to 1 Vdc or 0 to 5 Vdc depending upon the model selected. The 

output signal has been calibrated and scaled 0 to 100% for Relative 

Humidity. A thin film polymer capacitor senses relative humidity and is 

protected by a stainless steel cap that is easily removed for cleaning. The 

Nema-4 stainless steel enclosure and cable entry connection provides 

weathertight protection.
