English term or phrase: Polytherm Hygrometer
I'm translating the instruction for use of this instrument. Is "Polytherm" the brand? I don't find it in Spanish as Higrómetro Polytherm, so I'm not sure if this is a characteristic or a kind of hygrometer or if Polytherm is simply the brand or the model of the gadget. I've even entered the site of Polytherm, but I guess the instrument these instructions belong to is a very old one and they are not manufactured anymore. Thanks!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks a lot, Jesus. But it is about a hygrometer. I guess that maybe in the past, this company used to manufacture hygrometers. I can't come up with a better explanation.
