The RH-8 sensor was developed specifically to meet the growing needs of HVAC and other high volume OEM applications. The RH-8 sensor is also frequently used in protected outside environments. The sensor works by using an element composed of an electrode base-plate coated with a humidity sensitive macro-polymer. Changes in relative humidity affect the resistance of the electrode. Small and lightweight, the RH-8 offers a response of less than two minutes at room temperature. Hysteresis is low, at <3% RH.

The RH-8 sensor is used in many of General Eastern’s own RH transmitters. The RH-8 sensor can be easily integrated into room air conditioners, humidifiers, test chambers, and many other systems.
