Abstract
An apparatus () for sensing a condition, such as humidity, through an opening () in a surface () such as a duct or wall. A housing () includes an outer section () mounted on the surface and a probe section () extending into the duct or wall. A circuit board assembly () is mounted within the housing and includes a user interface section () within the housing outer section and a sensor section () rigidly connected to the user interface section and extending into the housing probe section. The sensor section may be integrated into the circuit board assembly by a rigid connector () allowing easy removal and field replacement of the sensor section. A sealing device () isolates the housing outer section from the air within the duct or wall. A flexible grounding connection () provides electrical grounding of the circuit board assembly and a degree of mechanical support.
