Why does an AC smell and how does the RHT1 help?

Ever turned on your air conditioner and been hit with a musty smell? That odor isn’t just annoying, it means your AC isn’t handling humidity well, allowing mold to grow inside. Mold loves damp spots, and without good control, your AC can turn into the perfect place for it to spread.

RHT1, the new analog humidity and temperature module from ScioSense, steps in to keep everything under control giving accurate humidity readings to stop mold before it starts. Its tough PTFE membrane protection also keeps the sensor safe from dust, water, and grime, making it super reliable even in tricky conditions.

Key Differentiators of the RHT1
The RHT1 offers flexibility in temperature and humidity detection, tailored to meet the diverse needs of OEM applications. Its customizable form factor, cable length, connector type, and output signal make it adaptable to specific project needs:

  • Calibrated Outputs: Available in both analog and digital formats.
  • End-of-Line Testing: Ensures consistent quality with comprehensive module testing.
  • Unique Serial Number: Enhances traceability and quality control.
  • PTFE Membrane Protection: Shields against water, dust, and grease, making it perfect for harsh environments.


Noteworthy Features of the RHT1

  • Accurate readings: Provides precise, calibrated measurements with ±3 %RH humidity accuracy and ±0.3 °C temperature accuracy, covering a wide range from 0 to 100 %RH and -40 to 85 °C, including accurate dew point detection.
  • Reliable Performance in Remote Settings: Ideal for use far from the PCB, where I2C may fail. Its analog output maintains signal quality over long distances.
  • Customizable Design: Easily adjustable to various application needs, simplifying integration with different sizes, cables, and connectors.

Why choose RHT1:
RHT1’s plug-and-play design accelerates development, cutting time-to-market for OEMs. Its rigorous testing and adaptability make it the ideal choice for diverse applications, from optimizing refrigerator energy use to maintaining air conditioner air quality and ensuring consistent printer performance, especially in remote or challenging conditions.

RHT1 is the perfect fit for air conditioners, keeping your AC fresh and mold-free by managing humidity levels—so you can stay cool and comfortable all summer long without that musty smell!

Just sit back, relax, and let RHT1 handle the rest!
