Compact hand-held humidity sensor

The Humiport 05 package from E+ E Elektronik is compact, but allows for one-hand operation and has an easy-reading display.

Humidity sensor offers precise measurement of relative humidity, temperature, and more, in a compact package with one-hand operation. The new Humiport 05 from E+ E Elektronik offers easy handling and large display for field use.

Not much bigger than a cell phone, the Humiport 05 reportedly can measure and display relative humidity, absolute humidity, temperature, and dew point across a temperature range from–20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F) using either scale. It can also accumulate measurements, generating minimum, maximum, and average for a group of readings.

Typical applications include checking building interiors, troubleshooting HVAC, monitoring switching and electronic hardware cabinets, and storage facilities.
