Do not attempt to clean the filter cap. This would only lead to its clogging. A dirty filter cap must be replaced by a new, original one. See the accessory data sheet for replacement filter caps.
The E+E proprietary sensor coating is a protective layer applied to the active surface and leads of the sensing elements. The coating extends the lifetime and the measurement performance of the E+E sensor.
The E+E propritary coating helps in dirty, dusty and corrosive environments. (salts, off-shore applications). It improves the sensor’s long-term stability in dusty, dirty or oily applications by preventing stray impedances caused by deposits on the active sensor surface and on its connecting leads.
The E+E propriatary coating oating does not help against chemicals in gazeous form. Contact an E+E sales representative for details on the influence of certain chemicals onto the humidity sensing elements.
The response time of a humidity sensor protected by the E+E proprietary coating is slightly longer than the response time without coating. Please see the data sheet of the specific sensor.
Temperature gradients along the sensing probes lead to relevant measurement errors. Whenever possible, install the entire probe inside the space that is to be monitored. If the probe is installed into a separation wall, make sure to thermally isolate the part of the probe thaht is looking out of the wall at the cable side.
The product data sheet indicates if and what type of inspection certificate is included in to the standard scope of supply. Most of the E+E measurement devices feature an inspection certificate according to DIN EN 10204-3.1 or DIN EN 10204-2.2. An accredited calibration certificate is available on request, see the E+E scope of accreditation at our calibration website.

- HTS801
Due to the direct contact of the HTS801 sensor element with the measurement medium, chemical contaminants (e.g. VOCs / vapors) can penetrate the sensor polymer and cause drift effects.
Automatic ReCovery (ARC) is used to remove this chemical contamination and thus eliminate possible drift effects of the RH /T sensing element. This is accomplished by intense heating of the sensing element.
- HTS801
No. For low Dew Point measurement EE355 / EE371 are the right products, which have an auto-calibration function to ensure ±2 °C Td accuracy. The HTS801 calculates the Td values down to -80 °C according to its possible temperature range and is able to scale its analogue outputs accordingly. The HTS801 Td accuracy results from its RH and T accuracy at the operating point. The E+E Humidity calculator helps to determine the Td accuracy.
- HTS801
Deviations due to chemical contamination and how fast they occur depend mainly on the concentration of the chemicals, the duration of the contamination, the temperature, and the type of chemicals.
The ARC trigger interval must be determined according to the drift response time and tolerable measurement errors. As a starting point, it is recommended that ARC be triggered every 24 hours. From there, the intervals can be optimized in a range from 1 hour to once per week. Additionally using the ARC module or Modbus commands the function can be triggered at or after a certain process step.
