1 INTRODUCTION
The Optidew chilled mirror hygrometer is based on the proven, fundamental condensation
temperature dew point principle, giving unmatched long-term drift-free performance.
Michell offers three highly durable sensor options, which are suitable for measuring in
a wide variety of different samples.

Optidew 501 (wall mount) and Optidew 401 (bench top)
The Optidew 501 features a compact ABS enclosure with an aluminium base plate and
4 external lugs for easy mounting to a panel or wall. It is available with a 5.7" touch
screen display, or as a blind "transmitter only" version.
A weatherproof version of the Optidew 501 enclosure is available with a modified
connector panel to improve ingress protection to IP65. Note that the Ethernet and SD
card options are not available in combination with the weatherproof version.
The Optidew 401 is designed to be easy to handle and transport, and is ideal for
laboratory or service use. It has a 5.7” touch screen LCD fitted as standard.
