General description
The transmitters T3110 are designed for measurement of ambient
temperature and relative humidity of air without aggressive substances.
Measured values are converted to other humidity interpretation: dew point
temperature, absolute humidity, specific humidity, mixing ratio, specific
enthalpy.
Measured and computed values are displayed on a two-line LCD display.
The first line displays temperature (ºC / ºF). Value displayed on the second
line is selectable among relative humidity and computed value. It is also
possible to display both readings with cyclic overwriting (4 seconds interval)
or to switch off the LCD display at all.
The transmitter communicates by means two galvanically separated current
loop 4-20mA. Each loop has two-wire connection and each loop requires
power from evaluation device. It is always necessary to connect loop I1
which is designed for supplying of measuring part of the device. Using the
configuration software can be assigned to each current loop any measured
or computed value.
All transmitter setting is performed by means of the PC connected via the
optional SP003 communication cable (not included in delivery). Using
TSensor software (see www.cometsystem.com) you can assign to each
output any measured or computed value and to set its measuring range. It is
also possible toassign both outputsto thesame value (with the same range),
if two evaluation devices are necessary to connect. The program supports
make the adjustment of the device too. This procedure is described at file
„Calibration manual.pdf“ which is installed commonly with the software.
Device versions:
T3110 transmitter with cable gland for output cable connection
T3110L device version with watertight male connector instead of a
cable gland for easy connection/disconnection of the output
cable (protection IP67)
T3110Ex intrinsically safe transmitter for use in potentially explosive

Device installation
Devices are designed for wall mounting.There are two mounting holes at the
sides of the case. Working position is with sensor cover downwards.
The connecting terminals are accessible after unscrewing the four screws in
the corners of the case and removing the lid. Pass the connecting cable
through released gland and connect the wires to terminals (see “Typical
application wiring”). Tighten the gland and screw the lid (check the integrity
of the seal). The female connector for connecting T3110L transmitter
connect according to diagram at “Typical application wiring”.
For device connection it is recommended to use a shielded cable with a
maximum length of 1200m. External diameter of the cable for T3110 and
T3110Ex connection is 4 to 8 mm. For T3311L connection use cable with
respect to female connector parameters (do not connect shielding at
connector side). When selecting the type of a cable for T3110Ex connection
and when choosing a location for T3110Ex mounting it is necessary to
observe the conditions for safe installation in potentially explosive
environments.The cables should be located asfar as possible from potential
interference sources.
It is not recommended to use the device for long time under condensation
conditions or water aerosol conditions. It could be the cause of water steam
condensation inside the sensor’s cover with a consequential increase of
response time to humidity changes. It can cause sensor damage too.
Devices don´t require special operation and maintenance. It is recommend
to keep clean sensor cover and periodically to verify the accuracy of
measurement.
Warning
Installation, commissioning and maintenance may only be carried out by
personnel with qualification by applicable regulations and standards.
Ambient temperature of the housing with electronics of T3110Ex
transmitter is not allowed exceed 60 ºC.
Don´t connect transmitter while power supply voltage is on.
Under certain extreme circumstances, the plastic enclosure of T3110Ex
transmitter may store an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge.
The device shall not be installed in a location where the external
conditions are conducive to the build-up of electrostatic charge. The
equipment shall only be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Info mode
Several settings of installed transmitter are possible to verify without a use
of the computer. It is necessary to connect at least power of current loop I1.
Unscrew the transmitter lid and shortly press button between display and
interconnection terminals by means of a tool (e.g. screwdriver).
The LCD display shows the type of value assigned
to 1. output (here „%RH“ = relative humidity and „1“
= loop I1). Upper line displays value of the current
corresponding to measured value on the lower line
(here 4 mA corresponds to 0 %RH).
Press button again to get value for upper point of
the 1. output (here „%RH“ = relative humidity and 1“
= loop 1). Upper line displays value of the current
corresponding to measured value on the lower line
(here 20 mA corresponds to 100 %RH).
After next press of the button LCD display shows
the type of value assigned to 2. output (here „ºC“ =
temperature and „2“= loop I2). Upper line displays
value of the current corresponding to measured
value on the lower line (here 4 mA corresponds to -
30 ºC).
Press button again to get value for upper point of
the 2. output (here „ºC“ = temperature and „2“ =
loop 2). Upper line displays value of the current
corresponding to measured value on the lower line
(here 20 mA corresponds to 80 ºC).
Press button again to end info mode and display actual measured values.
Warning
During info mode no measurement and no output current generation
proceed. The transmitter stays at info mode 15 s and then automatically
goes back to measuring cycle.
The verifying of settings of the T3110Ex transmitter is permitted only in
non-hazardous area.

Modification of device adjustment
Device adjustment is performed by means of the optional SP003
communication cable, connected to USB port of the PC. It is necessary to
have installed configuration program Tsensor on the PC (program is free to
download at www.cometsystem.com). During installation please take care
about installation of driver for USB communication cable.
unscrew four screws of the device lid and remove the lid. If device is
already installed to measuring system, disconnect wires from terminals
connect SP003 communication cable to the
PC. Installed USB driver detect connected
cable and create virtual COM port inside the
PC
run installed Tsensor program and continue
in accordance with his instructions
when new setting is saved and finished,
disconnect the cable from the device, connect wires into its terminals and
place the lid back to the device
Warning
Modification of adjustment of the T3110Ex transmitter using a cable
SP003 is permitted only in non-hazardous area.

Error states of the device
Device continuously checks its state during operation. In case error is found
LCD displays corresponding error code:
Error 0 - first line displays „Err0“ (output current value is < 3.8 mA). Check
sum error of stored setting inside device’s memory. This error
appears if incorrect writing procedure to device’s memory occurred
or if damage of calibration data appeared. At this state device does
not measure and calculated values. It is a serious error, contact
distributor of the device to fix.
Error 1 - there is a reading „Err1“ on LCD display (output current value is
> 22 mA). Measured or computed value is higher than upper limit.
This state appears in case of:
measured temperature is higher than approximately 600 °C
(i.e. high non-measurable resistance of temperature sensor,
probably opened circuit)
relative humidity value is higher than 100 %, i.e. damaged
humidity sensor, or humidity calculation of humidity is not
possible (due to error during temperature measurement)
calculation of the computed value is not possible (error during
measurement of temperature or relative humidity or value is
over range)
Error 2 - there is a reading „Err2“ on LCD display (output current value is
< 3.8 mA). Measured or computed value is below lower limit of
allowed full scale range. This state appears in case of:
measured temperature is lower than approximately -210 °C (i.e.
low resistance of temperature sensor, probably short circuit).
relative humidity value is lower than 0 %, i.e. damaged sensor
for measurement of relative humidity, or calculation of relative
humidity is not possible (due to error during temperature
measurement)
calculation of the computed value is not possible (error during
measurement of temperature or relative humidity)
Error 3 - there is a reading „Err3“ on LCD display upper line. Error of internal
A/D converter appeared (converter does not respond, probably
damage of A/D converter). No measurement and calculations of
values are proceeded. It is a serious error, contact distributor of
the instrument.
