are available. An optional RS-485 output
Low current consumption with Modbus support is also available.
HMP60 is suitable for battery-powered
applications because of its very low Rugged design
current consumption. HMP60 is designed for extreme
conditions. The stainless steel body of
HMP60 is classified as IP65. The probe
has a sealed structure and the sensor is
protected by a membrane filter and a
plastic grid, or optionally by a stainless
steel filter.
