Key Benefits

Accurate & Stable
More than 20 years of sensor technology development for DRYCAP and BAROCAP sensor.

Simple & Efficient Installation
One transmitter providing two measurements means reduced installation costs and a much easier setup.

2 Measurements in 1
When dew point data is coupled with live pressure input, conversions to atmospheric pressure or ppm are available online, leaving no ambiguity in the information.
