1. General description
Regulators of Hx3xx line are designed for online monitoring of temperature in °C or °F, relative
humidity of air without aggressive ingredients, barometric pressure and three binary inputs for
detection of binary signals. Measured temperature and relative humidity are recomputed to following
humidity expression: dew point temperature, absolute humidity, specific humidity, mixing ratio and
specific enthalpy. It is possible to set correction for altitude (pressure offset) and to choose one of the
following pressure units: hPa, kPa, mbar, mmHg, inHg, inH2O, PSI, oz/in2.
The device is equipped with two relay outputs for alarming or controlling of external devices. It is
possible to assign any input value to each relay, to set comparing limit, delay, hysteresis, acoustic
alarm or change its status by far control with using of Modbus communication protocol. The device
communicates via link RS232.

*/ The removable probe for compressed air measurement is noninterchangeable part of the device.
The protection of connector is IP67
**/ The type AR006683 is designed for two wires connection of external Pt1000 temperature
sensor.
Supported communication protocols are Modbus RTU and protocol compatible with standard
Advantech-ADAM. Devices are preset from manufacturer to Modbus RTU communication protocol.
If you would like to use different communication protocol then Modbus RTU, it is necessary preset
them – see latter. Temperature, relative humidity and pressure sensors are non-removable instrument
parts except H4431 device, that is designed for two wires connection of external Pt1000 temperature
sensor. Measured and computed values are displayed on dual line LCD. It is also possible to display
both readings with cyclic overwriting in 4 seconds interval. Display can be also switched OFF totally.
2. Regulator mounting and connection
Regulators are designed for wall mounting. Device must be mounted on the plane surface to
prevent its deformation. Mounting holes and connection terminals are accessible after demounting of
four screws in the corners of the box and removing the lid. There is recommended to use screws with
half round head with cross-recessed screw ST 3.9 (DIN 7981).
Devices are supplied with cable (1,5 m) equipped with CANNON 9 connector for connection to
RS232 interface.
Lace the lead-in cables (inputs, outputs, external temperature probe connectable to AR006683)
with outer diameter of 3 to 6.5 mm through the glands at the case wall and connect them
according schematic below. Terminals are self-clamping and can be opened by a suitable
screwdriver. For the opening, insert the screwdriver to smaller terminal hole and lever by him. Do
not forget to tighten glands and case lid with inserted packing after cables connecting. Insert
attached plug into unused cable glands too. Do NOT connect the regulator under voltage.

It is NOT recommended to use the device for long time under condensation conditions. It could
be the cause of water steam condensation inside the sensor’s cover into water phase. This liquid phase
stays inside sensor’s cover and can’t escape from the cover easily. It can dramatically increase
response time to relative humidity change. If water condensation occurs for longer time it can cause
sensor damage. Similar effect can occur under water aerosol conditions.
External temperature probe connectable to
AR006683 must be type of “two wires
with shielding”. The probe cable length and
size of conductor affects measurement
accuracy. If connected probe is equipped
with metal stem, we recommend using
probes with metal stem not connected to
cable shielding. Or else it is necessary to
arrange metal stem is not connected to
any other circuitry.
The cables for binary inputs and external
sensor for regulator AR006683 must be
placed as far as possible from potential
interference sources. The cables should not be
led in parallel along power cabling. Safety
distance is up to 0.5 m, otherwise
undesirable induction of interference
signals can appear. Maximum cable length
is 10 m. Connect cable shielding to proper
terminal and do not connect it to any other
circuitry and do not ground it.

5.2. Relay outputs
Regulator is equipped with two relay outputs. It is possible to assign any input or computed value
or “Far condition” (see chapter 6.1.4 at page 18) to each relay, to set comparing alarm limit, if the
relay may close if measured value is higher (Hi) or lower (Lo) than preset limit, delay for while must
be preset condition true before relay close its contact and hysteresis for return to open status. For
binary inputs: if it is preset to „HI“ then output relay is closed when input contact is opened, if it is
preset to „Lo“ then output relay is closed when input contact is closed. Each relay status is indicated
with LED diode and shown on LCD with corresponding symbols „ “ or „ “.
Terminal block for connecting the relays is equipped with terminals GND, which are connected
to the power supply of the device (see chapter “Typical application wiring, connection of terminals”).
When you need to use relays to switching the voltage identical with the supply voltage of the device,
you can use jumpers J1 and J2 for interconnection the power supply of the device directly with the
common contacts of the relays. This modification is used in devices with serial number higher
than 16981000 (the wiring diagram of the relay contacts for devices with serial number lower than
16981000 is given in the “Appendix D”).
The devices are equipped with two relays that are not intended for direct switching power circuits
or mains voltage. If necessary, use suitable type of external relay (an example of wiring is given in
the “Appendix A”).
5.3. Binary inputs
It is possible to read status of three galvanically not isolated binary inputs. It is possible to connect
“open contact” or external voltage. Auxiliary power supply +U terminal can be used to supplying of
external sensors and detectors. Visualization of binary inputs is done by three LED diodes placed on
the left side from LCD. Green one represents input Binary 1, yellow input binary 2 and red input
binary 3. If binary input is not connected or is without any signal, then binary input is interpreted as
„1“, when input contact is closed (connected input), then binary input is interpreted as „0“. For each
binary input there is possible to set indication LED function – if is lighting when binary input is closed
or opened. Binary input status can be assigned to any of output relays. It is possible to choice if output
relay is closed or opened when binary input is closed/opened.
5.4. Actual regulator preset
It is possible to display actual regulator preset on its LCD display by
pressing of „“ key. If „Output relay alarm condition configuration with
using of Modbus communication protocol“ is active (Remote Control), then
device’s LCD display shows text „bloc“. It means, device’s keyboard is
disabled for time of remote control (setting change), see chapter 6.1.5 at page
19. LCD shows information about Relay1 and then Relay2 setting step by
step. Information about Relay1 are indicated with symbol „ “, for Relay2 with symbol „
“ (at right top corner of LCD). It is possible to edit parameters after pressing „SET“
key and entering of correct password „PASS“ – see chapter „Change of “Password for setting
through keys” (PASS)” at page 12. Following examples are for Relay1 setting, similarly are displayed
values for Relay2. Pressing of „ESC“ key ends this mode and switch to actual value displaying, the
same occur if more than 20 s is not pressed any key.

If “far condition” is assigned to output relay, then there is possible to change the output relay status
by Modbus communication protocol only. See chapter 6.1.4 at page 18.
5.4.2. When close output relay
High limit „HI“ – the relay closes when measured value exceeds preset „high limit” for longer
time than preset „delay time“. Relay goes open when measured value decrease under „high limit“
value minus the „hysteresis” value. See example.

5.5. Regulator setting change
5.5.1. Setting with PC and TSensor software
User’s software TSensor provides setting of all regulator parameters. The program is
available free to download at web page www.guilcor.com. Run the TSensor program and follow
the program instructions. Regulator includes hardware write protection of internal setting, new
setting is possible to write only while:
1. during write period press „SET“ key – do requested setting in TSensor software, press „SET“ key
on regulator and keep it down, then click on the button „Save Changes“ into TSensor software
and after end of write release „SET“ key, or
2. jumper placed nearby keys is closed (jumper is accessible after demounting of four screws in the
corners of the box and removing the lid ). This jumper is suitable e.g. until device adjustment is in
process and regulator is placed into calibration box and keys are not accessible. Don’t forget to
remove (open) jumper after procedure finish (restore write protection)
TSensor software supports to make the adjustment of the regulator too. This procedure is described
at file „Calibration manual.pdf“ which is installed commonly with the software.
5.5.2. Setting with using regulator keys
If „Actual regulator preset” is displayed (see chapter “Actual regulator preset” at page 8), it is
possible to enter into edit mode and edit displayed value by pressing „SET“ key. Then you are asked
for valid password (PASS). You can edit selected value if right password is entered. During value
editing there is range check executed and edited value is still compared with limits for corresponding
value (range). If inserted value is higher or lower then edited number is automatically changed to its
maximum / minimum value – for possible range see chapter „Technical parameters“ at page 23. Value
can be changed with using „“ and „“ keys. Edited value is switched in “round” -9, -8, -7, …-2, -

11
1, 0, 1, 2, …8, 9. To edit next number digit press „SET“ key, for moving back to previous digit press
„ESC“ key. Edited value is stored by next „SET“ key pressing. It is possible to cancel editing by
pressing „ESC“ key if necessary. If valid password is once inserted right, then there is possible to edit
next items without asking for password insertion again, till “Actual regulator preset” is left (till actual
measured values are shown). With new entering into edit mode it is necessary to enter Password
again. Default password setting is preset from manufacturer to 0000, password change is possible
into „Extended setting”. During edit mode regulator still works and changes are valid immediately
after its storing – it is NOT necessary to restart regulator.
5.5.3. Setting with using of Modbus communication protocol
See chapter “Output relay alarm condition configuration with using of Modbus communication
protocol 2 “at page 19.
5.6. Extended setting mode
During regulator operation it is possible to change parameters available through “Actual regulator
preset” only (see chapter 5.4 at page 8). Rest of regulator parameters are available through “Extended
setting mode”. In this mode regulator does NOT communicate, does NOT do any measurements
and does NOT service output relays. To leave this mode press „ESC“ key and open jumper
nearby keys. To enter into Extended setting mode do following steps:
1. disconnect power supply
2. demount four screws in the corners of the box and remove the lid
3. closed jumper placed nearby keys
4. press „“ and „“ keys together and keep them down
5. connect power supply to regulator – you should see message „SEL“ on the top line of LCD and
on the bottom line you should see number of Firmware version (e.g. 0404)
6. release „“ and „“ keys – you are into “Extended setting mode” now
Use „“ and „“ keys to inspect each items. If you want to change some shown item then press
„SET“ key, item starts blink. Now you can edit setting with using „“ and „“ keys. To store preset
value press „SET“ key. Press „ESC“ key to leave editing (changing) without save – last stored value

Detailed description of each communication protocols including examples of communication is
available into document “Description of communication protocols”, which is available to download
at www.guilcor.com, see detailed description of appropriate device type.
After switching ON the power of the device it can last up to 3 s before the device starts to
communicate and measure !!!

17
6.1. Modbus RTU
Control units communicate on master-slave principle in half-duplex operation. Only master can
send request and only addressed device responds. During sending of request no other slave station
should respond. During communication, data transfer proceeds in binary format. Each Byte is sent as
eight bit data word in format: 1 start bit, data word 8 bit (LSB first), 2 stop bits
1
, without parity.
Device supports communication speed from 110Bd to 115200Bd.
Sent request and response have syntax: ADDRESS OF DEVICE – FUNCTION – Modbus CRC
6.1.1. Supported functions
03 (0x03): Reading of 16-bit registers (Read Holding Registers)
04 (0x04): Reading of 16-bit input gates (Read Input Registers)
06 (0x06): Setting of one 16-bit register (Write Register)
16 (0x10): Setting of more 16-bit registers (Write Multiple Registers)
6.1.2. Jumper
Jumper (placed nearby keys) is accessible after demounting of four screws in the corners of the
box and removing the lid. If communication protocol Modbus is selected the function of jumper is
as follows:
Jumper opened – device memory is protected from writing, from device side it is only enabled
to read measured value, writing to memory is disabled (no change of settings is enabled)
Jumper closed – writing to regulator memory is enabled

x at transmit are register addresses indexed from zero - „zero based addressing“.
For example „measured temperature“ with Modbus address 0x31 is physically sent
along data bus as value 0x30. You make sure of correct addressing with the aid of
Master device documentation or experimentally (e.g. for „measured temperature“ try
to use address 0x31 or 0x30).

Bit9 to 15 - unused
Note: In case there is a need for reading of measured values from the device with higher resolution
than one decimal, measured values in device are stored also in „Float“ format, which is not directly
compatible with IEEE754.
6.1.4. Far controlling of output relays status
2
There is possible to control output relay status (open/close) with using of Modbus communication
protocol. To this function enable, there is necessary to assign one of following options to relay:
FAR0 – „Far condition 0“, it means, after power up output relay will be open, or
FAR1 – „Far condition 1“, it means, after power up output relay will be close.
2
This function is available from firmware version 04.06. If older firmware used, update your firmware or contact device’s
distributor.

6.1.5. Output relay alarm condition configuration with using of Modbus
communication protocol 2
With Modbus communication protocol there is possible to set regulator’s parameters described at
chapter 5.4 at page 8. Follow next steps:
1) To address 0x0044 (68) write value1 – it enables Modbus setting. By the way it blocks
regulator’s keyboard – local keyboard is blocked during remote control setting change.
2) Write the desired settings / changes to the addresses from 0x0045 (69) to 0x004E (78). New
setting can be done simultaneously or each register can be written alone
3) To address 0x004F (79) write value 1. Once this step is done, new setting is physically
stored into device memory (confirm change). Then registers 0x004F (79) and 0x0044 (68)
are automatically cleared (zero). It automatically unlocks the keyboard too.
Whole setting process can be cancelled by writing value 0 to address 0x0044 (68). At this
time no changes are stored and last setting stays valid.

R/W
All registers contains 16b number. Communication examples are listed in a separate document
entitled "Description of communication protocols“.
6.2. Protocol compatible with Advantech-ADAM standard
Control units communicate on master-slave principle in half-duplex operation. Only master can
send requests and only addressed device responds. During sending request any of slave devices should
respond. During communication data is transferred in ASCII format (in characters). Each Byte is sent
as two ASCII characters. Device supports communication speed from 1200Bd to 115200Bd,
parameters of communication link are 1 start bit + eight bit data word (LSB first) + 1 stop bit, without
parity.
