Scope:
This manualis valid fortheHS5 transmitter series with firmware version V3.x. The low-order digit of the firmware
version stands for minor changes, e.g. correction of errors, that do not influence the main functionality of the
device.
1 Short Description of the Product
The HS5 is a humidity and temperature transmitter equipped with an IP connection for transfer of the measured
values in a local data network (LAN) to a PC running the HW4 software. An integrated relay and two analog
outputs (current or voltage) allow switching operations to be carried out when predefined alarm states occur. In
addition to this, the results of extensive psychrometric calculations can also be integrated in the alarm scheme.
Together with the keypad and display on the front panel, the device can also be used as stand-alone hygrostat
or thermostat without integration in a LAN. Use of the tried-and-tested HC2 Hygroclip humidity and temperature
probe guarantees highest measuring accuracy and long-term stability.

2.2 Connections
The electronics of the HS5 are contained on two circuit boards. The boards are connected electrically with a 16-
pole ribbon cable.
The board in the top part of the housing with display and keypad has a service socket allowing serial UART
communication (UART: Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transceiver) between the device and a PC for
administration and data transfer purposes. An AC3006 service cable is needed for this for protocol conversion
between the UART socket and USB port (USB: Universal Serial Bus) of a PC running the ROTRONIC HW4
software. The HC2 probe connection (E2 connection socket) is located at the bottom of the housing.
The board in the bottom part of the housing has three screw terminal blocks for:
•operating voltage and ground (15 – 40 VDC / 12 – 28 VAC)
•2 analog outputs (can be switched between voltage and current)
•1 relay changeover contact (normally open, normally closed).
These screw terminals are accessed through a screw cable gland. An external RJ45 socket is used to connect
the HS5 to an Ethernet LAN (LAN: Local Access Network). The MAC address (MAC: Media Access Control) of
the HS5 is printed on the top side of the RJ45 socket enclosure. It can be used for unique identification of the
device in a LAN.

2.3 HC2 Connection
The HS5 optionally comes with a HC2 connection socket. It can be used for all HC2 probes in the ROTRONIC
portfolio. Alternatively, one pin of the socket can be used as analog current or voltage input. It must be
established on ordering the device whether the pin can evaluate current or voltage signals; it cannot be
reconfigured to do so later on.
2.3.1 Units
The following unit systems are available for the HC2 connection:
•%RH
•°C / °F
•mV / mA
2.3.2 Simulation Value
When the simulation value has been activated, a defined simulation value is used instead of the current
measured value.
2.4 Analog Outputs
The ROTRONIC HW4 software enables free configuration and scaling of the analog outputs. The measured
values (humidity, temperature, calculation value) can be assigned to any analog output (Out1, Out2) and the
required range scaled at will.
The following output ranges are available:
Type
Range
Voltage
•0…1 V
•0…5 V
•0…10 V
Current
•0…20 mA
•4…20 mA
The different variants of the analog output each have a minimal offset:

2.5 Relays
The HS5 provides a freely configurable internal isolated relay changeover contact.
•Normally closed (NC)
•Common (COM)
•Normally open (NO)
The relay can be controlled by freely configurable alarms. The following can also be set:
•Time delay
The relay is only switched on when an alarm endures for a certain minimum time.
•Switch off when alarm finished
The relay automatically disengages when the alarm is no longer active; otherwise the relay remains
active until it is reset manually.
•Maximum duty cycle
The relay stays on for at most the time set and is then switched off.
The relay can only be activated by one measured value. Assignment of more than one measured value is not
possible.
2.6 Service Interface
Using the HW4 software, the service interface (UART) allows device settings, loading of language data and
updating of the firmware. The service interface is located inside the housing. It is connected to the computer
with the HW4 software with an AC3006 or AC3009 connection cable.
2.7 Display and Keys
The optional LCD for the HS5 has a backlight.
The display unit is variably configurable. Depending on the version (humidity, temperature, calculated value),
the different parameterscan be assignedto the lines in the display. There are threedisplaylinesavailable. They
can be assigned the following parameters:
•Humidity
•Temperature
•Calculation
•No value
The first line of the display shows the relative humidity, the second the temperature, the third the calculated
value such as dew point / frost point. A trend indicator can also be configured for every line.

3.3 Mounting
Method 1: The HS5 comes with two screws, two wall plugs and two rubber
washers. There are two screw depressions in the bottom part of the housing
(closed on delivery). Use the template delivered with the HS5 to drill the holes
in the wall and put in the wall plugs. Place a rubber washer under each screw
head. Put a screw in each depression and push through the bottom of the
depression.
Method 2: The mounting kit AC5002 (not included in delivery package) is
needed for mounting on a DIN top-hat rail (35 mm / 1 3/8"). The mounting kit
consists of two clips, which are fastened to the back of the housing with the
screws supplied.
Figure 4: Mounting kit AC5002 and drilling points for wall mounting
3.4 HC2 / Analog Connection
The HS5 can optionally be ordered with an E2 socket. This interface and its possible uses are described below.
3.4.1 Use of HC2 Probe
The HS5 can optionally be set up for a HC2 probe. After connection of a HC2 probe, it is possible to measure
and display three parameters:
•Humidity
•Temperature / Calculation
All HC2 probescurrently available can be connected. The measured data ofthe HC2 probe is evaluated digitally
and shown in the display in three lines. Two of the measured values can be tapped via the analog outputs
(chapter 5.1 ) and processed further. The optional Ethernet interface (chapter 5.2 ) of the HS5 can output all
measured values.
3.4.2 Use of Analog Input
The device menu is used to switch between use of a HC2 probe and an analog third-party probe. The display
of the HS5 switches automatically to the units mA / mV of the analog input.
The input is reconfigured with the device menu:

Select between the following options:
•HC2 Digital HC2 probes are read out
•Analog In Analog input is used
The HS5 then asks the user to confirm the sensor change and restarts with the corresponding display
configuration.
Remark:
The HS5 does not contain a power supply for an analog third-party probe. If adequate, the power supply for the
HC2 probe can be used via the pins V+ and GND (see Abbildung 5).
When using an analog probe, be sure to define both the voltage signal range and the measurement range of
the probe. The HW4 software requires definition of the measurement range for an analog probe. The HW4
software can also be used to change the probe type for the input.

4 Electrical Installation
This section describes the general safety precautions for electric wiring.
4.1.1 Cable Grip and Cable Specifications
The HS5 comes with a sealing M16 cable grip with screw cable gland. The M16 cable grip only offers effective
sealing if cables with external diameters of 6 to 7 mm (0.236 to 0.275 inch) with connection wires per 18 AWG
are used.
4.1.2 General Connection Information
Heavy machineryand measuring instruments should not share the same electric cables forpower supply. If this
cannot be avoided, noise filters and surge protectors should be used, as integrated in most UPS devices.
4.1.3 Signal Cable Information
The following guidelines are derived from the European standard EN 50170 for the transmission of signals by
copper wires. Note on installation planning: when determining the position of machinery and equipment, the
rules given in EN 50170 should be followed with due regard to local circumstances.
All ROTRONIC products are tested for electromagnetic compatibility according to EMC Directive 2004/108/EC
and the following European standards:
- EN 61000-6-1: 2007, EN 61000-6-2: 2005
- EN 61000-6-3: 2007, EN 61000-6-4: 2007
Whenever the level of electromagnetic interference is expected to be high, both the devices and signal cables
should be placed as far away as possible from the source of interference.
In general, signal cables should be installed in bundles or channels / conduits, separate from other cables as
indicated in the table below:

4.2 Wiring
This section describes the wiring of the device with connection possibilities.
4.2.1 Electrical Diagrams
The HS5 is wired with a four-pin connection cable
for transmission of the electrical power and
measured values. The maximum permissible
cable length depends on the voltage drop caused
by the flow of current to the devices connected to
the HS5 outputs. The effective load of a HS5
output comprises the cable and load resistance
and should amount to at least 1000 ohm. The
cable resistance should not be more than 1/1000
of the load resistance.
Figure 6: Voltage outputs
The maximum permissible length of the cable
connecting the unit to other devices is determined
by the total resistance resulting from addition of
the cable resistance and resistance of the devices
connected to the unit in series. This resistance
should not exceed 500 ohm (load).
Figure 7: Current outputs
