Vaisala Combined Pressure, Humidity and Temperature Transmitter PTU300 is a unique instrument measuring three parameters simultaneously.

Options

  • Available with up to two barometric pressure sensors for added reliability
  • Optional universal power supply module
  • HMT330MIK installation kit for outdoor use

You can choose from the following probe options: PTU301 for wall mounting for example in laboratories or engine rooms, PTU303 for general use, PTU307 warmed probe for outdoor and demanding meteorology applications, and PTU30T for pressure and temperature measurement only.

Proven Vaisala sensor technology

PTU300 incorporates sensors known for their high accuracy and excellent longterm stability: Vaisala BAROCAPâ for pressure measurement and Vaisala HUMICAP for humidity measurement. The temperature sensor is a platinum RTD sensor.

Graphical display of measurement data and trends for convenient operation PTU300 features a large numerical and graphical display with a multilingual menu and keypad. It allows users to easily monitor operational data, measurement trends, and access measurement history for the past 12 months.

The optional data logger, with real-time clock, makes it possible to generate over four years of measurement history and zoom in on any desired time or time frame.

The display alarm allows any measured parameter to be tracked, with freely configurable low and high limits.

Versatile outputs and data collection

PTU300 comes with a standard RS-232 serial interface. The output format is compatible with major GPS receivers and NMEA-coded messages. An isolated RS-485 interface is available as an option.

PTU300 is also capable of applying the Modbus communication protocol, providing Modbus RTU (RS-485) communication.

The data logger records data that can be viewed on the local display or transferred to a PC with Microsoft Windows software. A USB service cable makes it easy to connect PTU300 to a PC via the service port.

Outdoor installation kit

Outdoor installation is possible using the optional HMT330MIK installation kit, for applications requiring reliable measurements for meteorological purposes.

Flexible calibration

Quick, one-point field calibration for humidity is easy using Vaisala Hand-Held Humidity Meter HM70. With Vaisala Barometric Pressure Transfer Standard PTB330TS, including

optional humidity and temperature probe, field check and calibration can be performed for all three parameters.

Applications

  • Environmental monitoring in calibration laboratories
  • Industrial applications in semiconductor industry, engine testing and maritime sector
  • GPS meteorology: estimating precipitable water vapor in the atmosphere, weather stations
