  • Pt100 RTD Class F0.1 sensor according to IEC 60751
  • Standalone Modbus RTU over RS-485
  • Compatible with Vaisala Indigo200, Indigo300, Indigo500 and Indigo80
  • Traceable two-point calibration certificate included
  • Ask Seacom about the suitable TMP1 configuration

Accurate Temperature Measurement for Demanding Processes

The Vaisala TMP1 is designed for applications where temperature is the primary measurement and accuracy, long-term stability and robust construction are important. Its narrow stainless-steel probe head can be installed in ducts, chambers and process connections across a wide temperature range from −70 to +180 °C.

Measurement intelligence is built into the probe body. TMP1 can therefore send temperature data directly to a control system through Modbus RTU or connect to an Indigo transmitter for a local display, analogue outputs, relays and additional digital connectivity.

Temperature-only probe: TMP1 does not measure relative humidity. Choose it when accurate process temperature is required by itself, or pair it with a heated Vaisala HMP7 when true process temperature is needed for humidity measurement in near-condensing conditions.

Selecting the Temperature Measurement Arrangement

RequirementRecommended starting pointWhy it fits
Temperature only TMP1 Avoids adding an unnecessary humidity sensor and provides a wide −70 to +180 °C range
Temperature with compact local display TMP1 with Indigo200 Adds a local user interface and practical control-system outputs
High-accuracy industrial transmitter TMP1 with Indigo300 or Indigo500 Adds rugged mounting, display and selectable automation interfaces
Portable temperature measurement TMP1 with Indigo80 Supports spot checks, logging, diagnostics and field calibration
Near-condensing humidity process TMP1 with HMP7 TMP1 measures the true process temperature while HMP7 remains heated above the dew point
Humidity and temperature up to +180 °C HMP5 Use when both humidity and temperature are required in a high-temperature process
Dew point and temperature in hot drying DMP5 Use when low humidity or dew point is the primary process measurement

TMP1 with HMP7 for Near-Condensing Conditions

In a high-humidity process, an unheated humidity sensor may approach the dew point and become wet. HMP7 can heat its sensing head above the dew point to reduce condensation risk, but the heated head no longer represents the true process temperature.

A separate TMP1 measures the actual process temperature. The control system can then combine the heated HMP7 moisture measurement with the TMP1 temperature measurement to calculate relative humidity at the real process condition. This arrangement is useful in drying chambers, humid processes and other locations where condensation prevention and accurate RH calculation are both important.

Mounting Options

InstallationTypical accessory or methodSelection consideration
Duct or chamber Duct installation kit for temperature probe Confirm insertion depth, air leakage control and service access
Pressure-tight process connection Swagelok fitting for 6 mm probe with ISO 1/8 or NPT 1/8 thread Verify process pressure, fitting compatibility and approved installation practice
Outdoor air measurement DTR502B solar-radiation shield Protect the probe from direct solar heating and precipitation
Remote transmitter Fixed probe cable plus compatible Indigo extension cable Total distance between probe and transmitter can be extended up to 30 m
Portable measurement TMP1 connected to Indigo80 Protect the cable and allow the probe to stabilise before recording the result

Typical Applications

ApplicationMeasurement purposeImportant consideration
Pharmaceutical production Accurate process or chamber temperature monitoring Define calibration points around the actual operating range
Calibration laboratories Reference monitoring and comparison work Consider optional ISO 17025 calibration and required uncertainty
Environmental and test chambers Monitor chamber temperature across wide operating conditions Position the probe at the representative control or validation location
Industrial drying Measure process-air or product-zone temperature Select TMP1 alone or combine it with a humidity or dew-point probe
Cold storage and freezers Monitor low-temperature environments down to −70 °C Route the cable to minimise door leakage and mechanical damage
High-humidity processes Supply true process temperature for an HMP7 heated-probe calculation Ensure both probes represent the same process condition
Outdoor measurement Measure ambient temperature Use an appropriate radiation shield and mounting location

Calibration Planning

TMP1 is supplied with a traceable two-point calibration certificate at +20 and +70 °C. Applications operating far from these temperatures, or those with demanding uncertainty requirements, should select calibration points that represent the actual working range.

An optional ISO 17025 calibration can improve the stated performance within the calibrated region. The required calibration interval depends on process criticality, operating temperature, contamination exposure and the site's quality system. Vaisala activates a 12-month calibration reminder by default, but the final interval should be based on measurement history and risk.
