The PM880 hygrometer is a complete, intrinsically safe, portable system with options and accessories to meet all industrial moisture measurement needs. This hygrometer is small, lightweight, and easy-to-use. The large LCD displays moisture readings in dew point (°C or °F), ppmv, ppmw, lb/MMSCF (natural gas), and a variety of other unit options. Data can be viewed in alphanumeric or graphic formats. A rechargeable battery pack and battery charger make this the ideal go- anywhere moisture analyzer. The PM880 comes in a soft carrying case with zippered compartments, a handle, and a shoulder strap. The case accommodates the PM880, a sample system, flexible hosing, probes with protective covers, a Moisture Image Series probe electronics module, an operating manual, a battery pack, a battery charger, and probe cables. Training for the PM880 is available on-site, in the factory or on line. GE offers extended warranties and service agreements for the PM880 as well as a range of services including NIST-traceable calibration, field calibration, rentals and moisture surveys.
