Description

The product offers an efcient measurement and display system for

temperature and relative humidity. The compact measuring probe with
overall dimensions of Ø12 x 150 mm is housed in a stainless steel
casing. The scope of supply includes a port converter, which enables
direct operation through the USB port of a PC.

The front area of the sensor is provided with a polyethylene-sinter lter

for protection against sprinkling water and mechanical damages. An
accurate NTC has been used as temperature sensor. The humidity
measurement operates with a long term stable, capacitive polymer
sensor.The micro controller of the port converter compensates the
linearity error and temperature drift of sensor elements. The high
quality polymer sensor guarantee outstanding measuring accuracy
and long-term stability, also under extreme operating conditions.
The current measured values are transferred to the connected PC
through the USB interface. The display and graphical representation
of the meas-ured values appear on the PC. An easy to use Windows
software for display of measured values and data representation is
included in the scope of supply.
The USB driver software emulates a serial COM-port. The ASCII-pro­tocol for data communication is documented and enables integration
with user’s own developed programs. The probe is supplied in calib­rated condition. With the help of reference cells available as accesso­ries, the accuracy of the probe can be checked by the user himself.
Further calibration and adjusting the scale is also possible.

WINDOWS-Software RECORDER

With the help of this program, which is covered in the scope of supply,
the measured values can be received through the USB-interface and

displayed on the PC. The displayed le is compatible with any desired

spreadsheet program, with which it is possible to further process,
statistically evaluate or visualise the measurement data.
In addition, the PC-Software also calculates dew point, absolute
humidity, enthalpy and vapour pressure from the measured values of

relative humidity and temperature. The calculated gures can also be

stored.

First time operation

Connect the humidity meas-uring system to the USB-interface of a

PC. After rst time run of the software, go to menu option „settings“

and select device type as „HYTELOG 4800Bd“ and also select the
type of interface to be used under „connections“ (Note: For USB-ver-

sion, mention the virtual COM-port specied during driver installation).

The remaining settings (Data rate, Parity, Start and Stop bit) are
automatically selected and need not be changed. If the connection is
established, the data communication appears on the terminal window.
Then select „Close“. The current settings will be stored.
If you are not able to establish data link between PC and the

measuring device or the measuring adaptor, then rst please check

the power supply and also cable connection to the PC. Further in­formation on debugging is available under FAQ´s on the CD or at our
Homepage under SUPPORT.

Data recording

First activate all the hooked up measurement channels that are to be

recorded. In ‚Text 1‘ and ‚Text 2‘, you can enter a description, which
has to appear as heading on the top of data le. The data is recorded
in a le, which is de-clared as path in the ‚Start‘ button. The recording
begins with the ‚Start‘ button.

System requirements

Windows 98, 2000 or XP, RS232 or USB-interface. Generally, older
PCs are also suitable.
Important hint: First connect the USB-Version to the PC after

installing the software. This simplies driver installation and enables

“Plug&Play“ feature.

Installation

A detailed installation instruction is provided on the CD, which
automatically gets started on inserting the CD (prerequisites: Internet­Explorer 5.0 or higher). Follow these instructions for installation:

Manual Installation

Insert the enclosed CD into your drive and select „Run“ in the start-

menu and then browse to select the le ‚setup.exe‘ under the path

LW:\software\RECORDER\TEMPLOG\disk1. Then follow the instruc­tions of the installation program.

EXCEL™

The created le is compatible with CSV-Format. In order to display

the measured data, you can use graphic tools, for example, the
diagram-assistant. However, other programs can also be used to
graphically represent or evaluate the measured data.

Calibration

The humidity probe is supplied in calibrated
condition. The accuracy at 23°C is of the order
of ±0.3° K and ±2 % RH. Under normal opera
ting conditions, it is not necessary to again
calibrate the probe. The cross checking of
measuring accuracy of the humidity measu
rement part can be done by end user with the
salt reference cells available as special ac
cessories.
The cross checking must be done in temperature stable environment.
In case, the measured value does not match with the reference value
of the cell, the device should be sent to our calibration laboratory for
check-up.
