Duct and Outside Air Humidity (H200-H300)
4 to 20mA or 0 to 5V Humidity Output with Optional Temperature Sensor
Installation and Operating Instructions
9938_ins_hum_temp_duct_out_5_20
Overview
The BA/(H200, H300) is a humidity transmitter which comes in 2% or 3% accuracies and an optional temperature sensor.
The temperature sensor can be either a Thermistor or RTD. It can be ordered for either Duct or Outside Air applications with
Weatherproof (WP), Weather Tight (EU), BAPI-Box (BB), or BAPI-Box 2 (BB2) Enclosures. The transmitter can be wired for
either a 0 to 5VDC output or a loop powered 4 to 20mA output.
Duct Unit Mounting
Mount at least 3 duct diameters from humidiers in the center of the duct wall. Drill a 1 inch hole for the probe in the duct
and use two number 8 sheet metal screws to attach the sensor to the duct. Center the probe in its mounting hole. Be sure
that the foam seals the hole, do not over tighten the screws.

Outside Air Mounting
Mount in a permanently shaded area away from windows and doors. Do not mount in direct sunlight. Mount with the sensor probe pointed down. Drill a hole large enough for your sensor cable through your mounting surface. Mount the unit to
the surface with the wiring knock out centered over the wiring hole. Pull the wiring into the unit and terminate using sealant lled connectors. Best practice is to seal the wiring hole with caulk after the wiring is installed. Be sure that the foam
on the back of the unit makes a good weather tight seal.

Wiring and Termination
BAPI recommends using twisted pair of at least 22AWG and sealant lled connectors for all wire connections. Larger
gauge wire may be required for long runs. All wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes.
Do NOT run this device’s wiring in the same conduit as AC power wiring of NEC class 1, NEC class 2, NEC class 3 or with
wiring used to supply highly inductive loads such as motors, contactors and relays. BAPI’s tests show that uctuating and
inaccurate signal levels are possible when AC power wiring is present in the same conduit as the signal lines. If you are
experiencing any of these difculties, please contact your BAPI representative.
BAPI recommends wiring the product with power disconnected. Proper supply voltage, polarity, and
wiring connections are important to a successful installation. Not observing these recommendations may
damage the product and will void the warranty.
