FINEDEW™ FDW10 Desktop Chilled Mirror Hygrometer

The FINEDEW™ FDW10 is innovative not only in its miniature size, but also in its ability to be directly inserted into the measurement environment. The sensor unit consists of the sensor probe, relay box and relay cable. There are two kinds of sensor probe. The S type probe is designed to be the world’s smallest. The L type probe is made for extra low dew point measurement.

The controller has two analog output options: voltage signal and current signal. Handle models and panel mount models are available.

Notes:
*1. The dew point measurement range depends on the measured gas type and the measurement conditions.
*2. °CDP is an expression used in industrial fields to designate the dew point temperature specifically.
*3. Cooling capacity is the difference between mirror and heat sink temperatures at full cooling.
