Based on the rugged HS1101 humidity sensor, HM1520 is a dedicated humidity transducer
designed for measurements at low humidity. Direct measurement of dew point or water
concentration can be easily obtained in really cost effective conditions. Direct interface with a
micro-controller is made possible with the module’s linear voltage output.

TECHNICAL DATA
IMPORTANT NOTICE :
HM1520 is based on HS1101 capacitive sensor and thus is fully
useable on a large range of relative humidity ( 1 to 99% RH). In that range, HM1520 presents a
typical accuracy of +/-5% RH at 55% RH.)
However HM1520 is a dedicated module for humidity measurements at low Relative Humidity levels.
Thus, HM1520 is also well adapted to measure water concentrations (ppm) or low dew points
when associated with an ambient temperature probe.
HM1520 features an optimized accuracy for
water concentration below 6000ppm water or 0°C dew
point at 23°C
(equivalent to 20% RH) .
