HDC2010: How the heater works

Shannon Mount

Part Number: HDC2010

While the heater is on, can we take measurements of the temperature and the humidity so we can be notified when the humidity has dropped to a desired level?

How long does it normally take the heater to burn off the condensation?

Hi Shannon,

You can take measurements while the heater is on, but the result will not reflect ambient temperature and humidity. For this reason, the heater is not intended to be used during measurements.

Our humidity expert will follow up with you next week.

thanks,
Ren

Dear Shannon -
Ren is correct - while the heater is on, the temperature measurement will increase and the humidity level will decrease - neither value will reflect the ambient condition.

the time it takes to get rid of condensation is very application/situation dependent - i would recommend testing this in-situ for your best results
