Vaisala Warranty & Support

All Vaisala products and services are protected by full, 12-month warranty coverage as the standard minimum, with selected products being covered for up to 24 months. During the warranty period customers benefit from free repair or, where required, replacement. Standard repair lead times apply unless otherwise agreed.

Please contact Automatic Controls Company with any inquiries regarding warranty claims, repairs, service contracts, calibrations, or spare parts.

Extended Warranty

An extended warranty from Vaisala ensures repair or replacement of equipment for five years, guaranteeing optimal system performance and eliminating costly and inconvenient delays caused by repair or replacement quotation and approval processes.

Extended warranties are available for both new or previously purchased Vaisala products, though previously purchased products may require baseline calibration.

For more details on Vaisala warranty services, or if you are interested in customized or long-term warranty and priority service scheduling, please contact Vaisala Sales to discuss your needs.

Product Information

  • Six interchangeable probe models for a variety of applications:
    • HMT361 for wall mounting
    • HMT363 for duct mounting and tight spaces
    • HMT364 for high pressures up to 100 bar and vacuum conditions
    • HMT365 for high temperatures
    • HMT367 for high humidities
    • HMT368 for pressurized pipelines up to 40 bar
  • Intrinsically safe - the whole transmitter can be installed into the explosive area
  • Complies with classifications from VTT (CENELEC, Europe), FM (USA), CSA (Canada), TIIS (Japan), and PCEC (China), VTT (IECEx)
  • The interchangeable probe module contains all calibration coefficients, so a calibrated probe can be switched in the field without the need to input any data manually

Operating Principle

HUMICAP is a capacitive thin-film polymer sensor consisting of a substrate on which a thin film of polymer is deposited  between two conductive electrodes. The sensing surface is coated with a porous metal electrode to protect it from contamination and exposure to condensation. The substrate is typically glass or ceramic.

The thin-film polymer either absorbs or releases water vapor as the relative humidity of the ambient air rises or falls. The dielectric properties of the polymer film depend on the amount of absorbed water.

As the relative humidity around the sensor changes, the dielectric properties of the polymer film change, and so does the capacitance of the sensor. The instrument’s electronics measure the capacitance of the sensor and convert it into a humidity reading.
