The Vivarium room sensor from Building Automation Products (BAPI) provides both humidity and temperature measurement.
The Vivarium room sensor from Building Automation Products (BAPI) provides both humidity and temperature measurement This unit has been designed for washdown or wipedown areas where the unit will be exposed to high moisture levels
The transmitter circuitry and sensing elements are protected from moisture by encapsulating them with BAPI's specially formulated epoxy.
To further protect the unit, etched teflon leadwires are used and twist-on sealant filled connectors are provided for all terminations.
The humidity sensor cannot be encapsulated as it is an active sensor (it must be exposed to the moisture in the air in order to measure the relative humidity), so it may need to be replaced periodically.
Replacement humidity sensors are readily available from BAPI.
