Ready for Pressure Measurement

Measuring Humidity and Temperature (Option)

1.

Place the HMP155 probe in the desired measurement location:

-

Make sure the probe sits securely and will not fall when 
operating the MI70 indicator.

-

The probe should be out of direct sunlight and not near any 
heat sources.

-

If you are measuring relative humidity (RH), mixing ratio (x) 
or wetbulb temperature (T

w

) and your HMP155 has the 

additional temperature probe (T-probe), it is important to 
make sure that the humidity probe and the T-probe are placed 
in the same conditions in order to get meaningful and accurate 
humidity readings. The two probes need to be installed so that 
the humidity probe does not heat the T-probe, but is close 
enough for the probes to share the same environment 
conditions.
