Kestrel 7000 Field-Replaceable Relative Humidity Sensor

Field-Replaceable Relative Humidity Sensor for Kestrel 7000

The Kestrel® 7000 Field-Replaceable Relative Humidity (RH) Sensor Is Designed For Professionals Requiring Reliable And Accurate Environmental Monitoring With Minimal Downtime. This Sensor Provides Convenience By Allowing Users To Replace It Directly In The Field, Ensuring Continuous Operation Without The Need To Send The Entire Unit For Recalibration.

The Kestrel 7000 Field-Replaceable Relative Humidity (RH) Sensor is a key component of the Kestrel 7000 Environmental Meter, designed to deliver highly accurate and reliable humidity measurements in a variety of demanding environments. Understanding the importance of precision in environmental monitoring, Kestrel developed this sensor to be easily replaceable in the field, ensuring minimal downtime and continuous accuracy without requiring the entire unit to be sent for recalibration.

How the Field-Replaceable Sensor Works

Replacing the relative humidity (RH) sensor in the Kestrel 7000 is a simple process designed for ease of use. When the sensor's performance begins to degrade or after a certain period of use, simply remove the old sensor and install a new one. This process requires no specialized tools or technical expertise, making it accessible to all users. The new sensor immediately restores the meter’s full accuracy, enabling continuous, reliable data collection.

Applications and Benefits

The field-replaceable RH sensor is particularly beneficial in situations where continuous environmental monitoring is critical. For example:

• Laboratories: Maintain consistent and accurate humidity readings without the need to pause operations for sensor recalibration.
• Manufacturing Facilities: Ensure production environments meet strict humidity control requirements, reducing the risk of product defects.
• Healthcare Settings: Monitor and control humidity levels in sensitive areas such as operating rooms and pharmaceutical storage to maintain regulatory compliance and patient safety.

Features

• Field-Replaceable Design: The ability to replace the RH sensor directly in the field sets the Kestrel 7000 apart from other meters. This design feature ensures that users can quickly restore optimal performance without interrupting their work. Simply replace the old sensor with a new one and continue operations, avoiding the time and cost associated with sending the unit for servicing.
• NIST-Traceable Accuracy: The Kestrel 7000 RH Sensor offers NIST-traceable accuracy, ensuring that every reading meets the stringent standards required for professional environmental monitoring. This level of precision is critical for applications where accurate humidity data is essential, such as in laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and healthcare settings.
• Durability and Reliability: Designed to withstand harsh conditions, the RH sensor is part of the Kestrel 7000’s robust design, tested to MIL-STD-810G standards for drop resistance and rated IP67 for water and dust resistance. This durability makes the sensor ideal for use in a wide range of challenging environments, from industrial sites to outdoor fieldwork.
