Available in a variety of antenna designs and sizes for applications in the 860-960MHz band, the device integrates an HTS-221 humidity sensor from ST Microelectronics with a measurement range of 20-80% RH with an accuracy of ±4.5% RH. It is suitable for embedding in a wide variety of materials such as plastics or concrete and can also be encapsulated in an IP67 or IP68 casing for usage in harsh environments.
With a reading distance of around 1.5m (5ft), the HygroFenix enables opportunities monitoring relative humidity and temperature in applications where the accessibility is restricted, or where the use of batteries is not recommended. Such applications include data centre infrastructure management (room humidity and temperature to enhance asset life-cycle).
