The EFS 10 humidity sensor is an electrolytic polymer sensor for measuring relative air humidity. The sensor converts the current humidity value into an impedance which can be measured electronically.
The measuring principle is based on the physical properties of a hygroscopic material, whose conductivity changes depending on the air humidity in the environment.
The humidity measurement ranges from 20 to 95% RH.
