The Entek XM series has been introduced to help manufacturers improve uptime of rotating equipment. Consisting of a network of intelligent modules, the series continuously monitors and protects plant floor machinery simultaneously. Until now, equipment monitoring and protection had to be accomplished by more than one system. The information gathered allows maintenance professionals to identify developing faults in equipment so they may be corrected before catastrophic failure. The system monitors based on actual asset condition, instead of a manufacturer's recommended preventive maintenance best-guess schedules.

Model HX92A is an inexpensive, 2-wire humidity transmitter with either voltage or current output. The output is linearized, and relative humidity readings are temperature compensated. The thin-film polymer capacitor that senses relative humidity is protected by a stainless steel mesh-type filter, which can be removed for cleaning.
