Vaisala expands Premium Indigo product range with high-quality HMP1 probe for humidity and temperature measurements in high-end installations

The new HMP1 probe offers optimal measurement performance in critical production and storage facilities as well as in locations such as data centers where measurement accuracy, easy maintenance and robustness are crucial.

Vaisala, a global leader in weather, environmental and industrial measurement, today introduces the new HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP1. With best-in-class accuracy and sensor cleaning capability that ensures excellent stability over time, the HMP1 is ideal for demanding humidity measurements in environments such as pharmaceutical facilities, data centers, clean rooms or other environments where stringent humidity monitoring and control requirements are required.

The product features the recognized and space-qualified HUMICAP® sensor technology, which is known to withstand demanding conditions.

The HMP1 complements the Indigo product family. This is a premium solution for multi-parameter measurements with flexible connectivity. The modular product family includes interchangeable smart probes, transmitters and Vaisala Insight PC software. Together they form a strong data chain to ensure energy efficiency, safety and end product quality.

Premium solution for wall-mounted humidity and temperature measurements
The probe is compatible with all Vaisala Indigo series transmitters. The ability to remove the probe from the transmitter ensures efficient maintenance and calibration. The Vaisala HMP1 probe forms a wall-mounted unit with the Indigo200 series transmitter, requiring no probe cable or probe holder. The robust Indigo520 transmitter offers mounting flexibility. It also allows for optimal probe placement and dual probe mounting for extended parameter monitoring or maximum accuracy.

The unique combination of measurement performance, ease of maintenance and the extensive range of additional features of the Indigo transmitter series creates a premium solution for wall-mounted humidity and temperature measurement in demanding applications.

The HMP1 can also be used as a standalone wall-mounted transmitter via the Modbus RTU serial interface. Whether you use the HMP1 probe as a stand-alone unit or with an Indigo transmitter, it can be connected to the free Vaisala Insight PC software for easy on-site calibration, probe configuration and device analysis.

Software update for Indigo520 transmitter
In addition to the product launch, Vaisala has announced a software update for the Indigo520 transmitter that includes temperature compensation. Together with the Indigo-compatible humidity and temperature probe HMP7 and temperature probe TMP1, it now provides accurate and reliable relative humidity data in condensing environments such as test chambers or fuel cells, where conventional meters do not meet expectations.

"We are very excited about the news. The launch of the HMP1 and software perfectly summarizes our ambitions: To help customers in different industries optimize their processes for better results by building on our very strong technological base, and to provide the industry's most reliable solution for measurement tasks in demanding applications," comments Jarkko Ruonala, Product Manager at Vaisala.

The Vaisala HUMICAP® HMP1 probe can be ordered from December 2020.
