HMP155A Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe
Because of the inverse relationship between relative humidity and air
temperature, finding the mean relative humidity is meaningless. A more useful
quantity is the mean vapor pressure. The mean vapor pressure can be
computed online by the datalogger (see Appendix B.3, Mean Vapor Pressure
Examples).
8. Sensor Maintenance
The HMP155A probe requires minimal maintenance. Check monthly to make
sure the radiation shield is free from debris. The filter at the end of the sensor
should also be checked for contaminates.
8.1 Periodic Maintenance
8.1.1 Cleaning
Clean the probe with a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with mild detergent.
8.1.2 Changing the Probe Filter
1. Remove the filter from the probe.
2. After removing the filter, check the O-ring and change it if necessary.
3. Install a new filter on the probe.
New filters can be ordered from Campbell Scientific or Vaisala.
