2. Product Overview
2.1 Overview of HMT140 Features
The Vaisala Wi-Fi Data Logger HMT140 measures relative humidity and temperature using the
connected probe and analog signals – RTD, Voltage, Current Loops and Boolean Contacts. The
HMT140 comes with or without an optional LCD display.
The HMT140 supports several dierent signal measurements (channels), which are monitored
in Vaisala viewLinc Enterprise Server software:
• Relative Humidity (RH)
• Temperature (T)
• Switch Contact
• Voltage and Current
Channel types are set at the factory during the time of order. Other wireless parameters can be
changed at a later date using an HMT140 Configuration Cable and Vaisala HMT140 Utility
software.
More Information
‣Options and Accessories (page 10)
2.1.1 Data Management
An HMT140 can store several thousands of records before needing to overwrite data. In the
event of a communication problem, the HMT140 will continue to log and store data until it has
collected 3060 records per channel and then it will begin overwriting data.
For example, if an HMT140 is configured with a 5-minute sample rate, it will continue to log
data for approximately 10 days before overwriting data.
2.1.2 Models
The following HMT140 models and options are available:
• HMT141: Vaisala HUMICAPâHumidity and Temperature Probe (RH/T)
• HMT143: Dual RTD Temperature Inputs w/5 m Probes (-90 to +90 °C (-130 to +194 °F))
• HMT144: Voltage Inputs (0 ... 5 VDC)
• HMT145: Voltage inputs (0 ... 10 VDC)
• HMT146: Current Inputs (0 ... 20 mA)
• HMT147: Boolean Inputs
• HMT148: RTD Temperature Input w/5 m Probe and Boolean Input
• HMT14C: RTD Inputs (customer-supplied Probe)
• HMT14D: RTD and Current Input

2.1.4 Fixed or Remote Probe
The HMT140 is available either with a fixed probe directly attached to the housing or a remote
probe with dierent cable lengths (3/5/10 m (9.8/16.4/32.8 ft)). Extension cables can be easily
cascaded in order to obtain longer reach, to a maximum length of 10 m (32.8 ft).
2.1.5 Interchangeable Probe
The HMP110 HUMICAPârelative humidity probe used in the HMT140 is fully interchangeable.
You can easily remove the probe and replace it with a new one without having to adjust the
HMT140. You have the following options when purchasing a new probe from Vaisala:
• Order a new probe and keep your current one.
HMT140 User Guide M211488EN-G
10

• Order a new probe and return the old one to Vaisala (replacement probe).
Only probes that have a compatible digital output (VDIGI mode) can be used with
the HMT140. Compatible probes have the letter "V" as the first letter in their order
code. The order code is written on the probe.
2.1.6 Optional Display
The HMT140 is also available with an optional graphical 128x64 pixel resolution LCD display.
The display shows the measurement results of selected parameters in selected units (defined
at the time of ordering). The parameters are displayed simultaneously as two separate rows on
the display.
