Moisture/Temperature Probe
Considerations (cont.)
e. Long-Term Storage & Operational Stability
Sensors are not affected by continuous abrupt humidity changes
or damaged by exposure to saturation conditions even when
stored. However, you should store probes in their original
shipping containers in a clean, dry location. If the probe is
saturated during storage, refer to b. Moisture Condensation above
before installing the probe. For best performance, do not store
probes longer than one to two years from their calibration date.
f. Freedom from Interference
The sensor is completely unaffected by the presence of a wide
variety of gases or organic liquids. Large concentrations of
hydrocarbon gases, Freon
™, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
and hydrogen have no effect on sensor water vapor indications.
The sensor will operate properly in a multitude of gaseous or non-
conductive liquid environments.
g. Corrosive Materials
Avoid all materials that are corrosive or otherwise damaging to
aluminum or aluminum oxide. These include strongly acidic or
basic materials and primary amines.
