DescriptionThe DPS3 is a heated dew point hygrometer with an integrated microprocessor control and a two‑stage chilled mirror sensor. It measures dew point in gas samples up to +95°C (203°F) and down to -40°C, and is supplied as a complete heated, temperature‑controlled NEMA‑4 / IP65 enclosure with sample flow control and heated sample line.
OverviewThe DPS3 uses a two‑stage chilled mirror (rhodium coated) for a fundamental and highly repeatable dew point measurement. The heated sensor and heated enclosure prevent condensation when measuring dew points above ambient temperature. Microprocessor control regulates mirror temperature and provides automatic balance control for long‑term stability.
