XDD-938 Expendable Digital Radiosonde

The Model XDD-938 Expendable Digital Radiosonde conducts precise upper air observations using GPS wind finding technology. It is the first system capable of both radiosonde and dropsonde sounding modes, providing vertical profiles of 3D pressure, temperature, humidity and winds. It can either be released manually or used in the Model ARL-9000 launcher, which includes an integrated METHUB ground station.

MFR-7 Multifilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer

The Model MFR-7 Multifilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer measures total, diffuse, and direct irradiance at six wavelengths (415, 500, 615, 673, 870, and 940 nm, each 10 nm FWHM) in the visible/NIR, and includes one unfiltered broad-band silicon pyranometer. Thermally stabilized, environmentally sealed state-of-the-art interference filters provide excellent long term calibration stability.

TSI-880 Full-Color Total Sky Imager System

The Model TSI-880 Total Sky Imager is an automatic, full-color sky imager system that provides real-time display of daytime sky conditions. Traditionally, human observers reported sky conditions, resulting in considerable discrepancies from subjective observations. The TSI-880, a self-contained system which automatically processes images, replaces the need for these human observers under all weather conditions.

DPT-2011 Single Stage Dew Point Transmitter

General Description

The DPT-2011 Single Stage Dew Point Transmitter uses the chilled mirror principle to determine the absolute humidity of any gas in terms of its dew- or frost-point temperature. It was specifically designed for laboratory, field and industrial process applications. The control electronics maintain the sensor mirror to the equilibrium point where a dew or frost layer is established on the mirror surface. A platinum resistance thermometer directly monitors the mirror temperature. Depending on the actual dew point, settling time from ambient may take a few seconds to one minute. A local digital display and analog and digital interfaces are provided.

Features

Convenient front panel digital readout

4-20mA analog and RS-232 digital outputs

Rugged hard chromium mirror provides extra durability in industrial applications

Runs from a single 12 Vdc, 2.1A supply

LED indicates when mirror needs cleaning

Applications

Chilled mirror dew point hygrometers are used in industrial process-control and laboratory applications to ensure product quality, including:

Real time production process control of pharmaceutical, plate glass, paper, plastics

Production monitoring for dried foods and dry snack processing

Monitoring of storage environments and special purpose rooms such as museums, warehouses, computer and clean rooms

Manufacturing quality control for fabrication of sensitive electronic components such as semiconductors

Building HVAC or air quality monitoring

Mirror Access

A front-mounted threaded hole plug supports access to the chilled mirror for periodic cleaning. Sample gas typically passes through the system via a flow gauge and filter tubing connections. Flow rates from 0.5 to 1.0 standard cubic feet per hour (SCFH).


DPT-2011 Single Stage Dew Point Transmitter

User Interface

A front panel digital meter indicates the current dew point temperature. A pushbutton lets you rapidly check that the mirror is clean without having to open the sensing chamber for inspection. An LED indicates when cleaning is required. Both RS-232 serial and 4-20mA analog outputs are provided. The serial interface supports a graphical LabView™ application for MS-Windows9x/NT that permits you to view real time sensor data on a PC or Mac.
