RELATIVE
HUMIOITY/TEMPERATURE
PROBE
transmitter
A.
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The
stainless
steel
probe
provides
temperature
compensated
relative
humidity
as
well
as
temperature
outputs.
A
thin
film
polymer
capacitor
senses
relative
humidity,
while
temperature
is
monitored
by
a
100
ohm
platinum
RTD.
The
sensors
are
protected
by
a
stainless
steel
filter
cap
that
is
easily
removable
for
cleaning.
The
sealed
probe
has
an
end
cap
that
may
be
removed
for
access
to
calibration
trimmers
when
neces¬
sary.
Signal
and
power
connections
are
made
via
a
4
pin
connector
at
the
end
of
a
12”
cable.
An
adjustable,
removable
duct
flange,
allows
mounting
at
any
depth
between
1
and
9
inches.
Also
provided
is
a
mating
cable
connector
and
a
clip
for
wall
mounting.
The
current
output
version
of
the
probe
is
a
true
2-wire
transmitter
with
an
unusually
low
compliance
voltage
(6
volts),
allowing
for
long
wire
runs.
The
voltage
version
has
internal
voltage
regulation
so
that
any
low
power
source
(3.5ma)
over
a
wide
voltage
range
(6
to
30
volts)
will
operate
the
unit.
Both
current
and
voltage
versions
are
polarity
protected.

THEORY
OF
OPERATION
A
4
to
20
milliamp
loop
is
a
series
current
loop
in
which
a
transmitter
will
vary
the
current
flow
depending
upon
the
parameter
being
measured
(Relative
Humidity
or
Temperature).
Advantages
of
a
current
output
over
a
voltage
output
is
that
is
less
susceptible
to
noise
interference
and
allows
the
connection
of
more
than
one
meter
or
recorder
to
the
loop
as
long
as
the
maximum
resistance
is
not
exceeded.
The
typical
current
loop
will
consist
of
a
power
supply,
transmitter,
and
a
meter
to
measure
the
current
flow.
The
loop
resistance
is
the
sum
of
the
impedance
of
the
meter(s)
and
the
lead
wire.
The
maximum
allflMbla
IdPp
impedance
of
the
probe
is
found
by
the
Formula:
Rmax
=
(power
supply
voltage-6
volts)/.02
amps
Example:
when
using
a
24VDC
power
supply:
Rmax
=
(24-6)
/
.02
=
900
ohms
(for
total
wire
length
to
and
from
the
transmitter).
The
following
chart
shows
various
resistance
of
lead
wire:

If
the
meter
or
recorder
being
used
accepts
only
voltage,
than
either
the
voltage
version
of
the
probe
(O
to
1
volt)
should
be
used,
or
convert
the
current
to
voltage
by
installing
a
250
ohm
resistor
across
the
input
terminals
of
the
recorder
to
obtain
a
1
to
5
volts
input.

S

on
the
left,
and
Z
(ZERO)
on
the

2.
Place
sensor
end
of
probe
in
“low”
RH
environment
(e.g.
Lithium
chloride
solution,
11.3%RH)
3.
Adjust
trimpot
Z
so
that
output
decreases
to
a
minimum
value
and
further
adjustment
produces
no
change.
Output
will
be
approximately
4ma
for
current
version
(
(O
volts
for
voltage
version).
4.
Adjust
trimpot
Z
until
output
just
starts
to
increase
from
4ma
(0
volts)
5.
Place
sensor
end
of
probe
in
“high”
RH
environment
(e.g.
Sodium
Chloride
solution,
75.3%RH).
6.
Adjust
trimpot
S
until
output
reading
is
equivalent
to
the
difference
between
the
“low”
and
“high”
RH
environments.
Example:
75.3%
RH-11.3%RH
=
64%RH,
which
is
equivalent
to
14.24
miiliamperes
(640
millivolts
for
voltage
version).
(See
calculation
section
formulas.)
7.
Adjust
trimpot
Z
until
output
reading
is
equivalent
to
the
“high”
RH
environment
(e.g.
75.3%RH
is
16.05
miiliamperes
(753
millivolts)
as
determined
by
formulas).

CALIBRATION
Temperature

and
does

further
calibrations.
J.
MAINTENANCE
If
the
probe
is
operated
in
a
dusty
environment,
the
protective
sensor
filter,
if
clogged,
may
be
removed
for
cleaning.
Unscrew
filter
and
gently
blow
compressed
air
through
screen.
If
necessary,
use
a
soft
brush
to
remove
lint
from
sensors.
If
the
sensors
are
subjected
to
100%
condensation,
they
must
be
dried
to
obtain
correct
readings.
There
is
no
permanent
calibration
shift,
nor
is
recalibration
necessary
if
100%
condensation
occurs.
The
instrument
should
not
be
exposed
to
high
concentrations
of
ammonia
or
alcohol
vapors.
However,
any
environment
that
is
breathable
under
normal
HVAC
applications
should
not
affect
the
sensors.
To
maintain
original
specifications,
it
is
generally
recommended
that
the
RH
sensor
be
recalibrated
on
an
annual
basis
depending
upon
operating
conditions.
The
temperature
sensor
does
not
require
recalibration.
