Series RHP-W Wall Mount Humidity/Temperature/Dew Point Transmitter
Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
The Series RHP-W Wall Mount Humidity/Temperature/Dew Point Transmitter
is the most versatile room transmitter on the market. The stylish housing is well
vented to provide air flow across the sensor to improve measurement accuracy. An
ptional LCD display can be integral to the transmitter or a remote display can be
o
rdered for building balancing or LEED validation. The LCD display indicates the
o
mbient temperature along with the humidity or dew point. The transmitter has
a
internal dip switches to select the temperature engineering units and whether the
transmitter outputs humidity or dew point.
The humidity and temperature sensors are field replaceable to reduce service cost
and inventory. The humidity and the dew point are measured using a capacitive
polymer sensor that completely recovers from 100% saturation. The humidity and
dew point can have either a current or voltage output, while the optional temperature output can be a current, voltage, RTD or thermistor. For models with current
or voltage for the temperature output, the temperature range is field selectable.

Wiring
Use maximum 18 AWG wire for wiring to terminals. Refer to figures 2 through 5 for
wiring information.
Current Output Models (RHP-XW1X)
Current output models must be powered with 10-35 VDC supply voltage. Wire the
RH current output as shown in Figure 2. If the unit has a 4-20 mA temperature output, wire the temperature receiver between terminal 3 and the negative terminal of
he power supply. If the unit has a passive temperature sensor, wire to terminals 4
t
nd 5. If the RH output is not required, wire the negative terminal of the power sup-
a
ply to terminal 1 of the transmitter. If the temperature output is not used, it may be
left disconnected.

hese models may be wired for current or voltage output. Note that both outputs

ust be wired either for current or voltage. It is not possible to wire one output for
m
urrent, and the other for voltage.

Prior to wiring, verify that the Current/Voltage select switch is set to current or voltage as desired. Refer to “Setting the Current/Voltage Select Switch”.
urrent Output Selected: Wire as shown in Figure 4. Current outputs must be
C
owered with 10-35 VDC. If the RH output is not required, wire the negative termi-
p
al of the power supply to terminal 1 of the transmitter. All units come with 4-20 mA

RH and Temperature outputs. If the 4-20 mA temperature output is not used it
maybe left disconnected. If the unit has a passive temperature sensor, wire to terminals 7 and 8.

in Figure 5. If the unit has a voltage temperature output, wire the temperature
receiver between terminal 6 and the negative terminal of the power supply. All units
come with RH and Temperature voltage outputs. If the temperature or RH voltage
output is not used it may be left disconnected. If the unit has a passive temperature
sensor, wire to terminals 7 and 8.

Voltage Output Models (RHP-XW2X)
Wire as shown in Figure 3. Voltage outputs may be powered with 15-35 VDC or 1529 VAC. Note polarity when using DC power. If the unit has a voltage temperature
output, wire the temperature receiver between terminal 4 and negative terminal of
power supply. If the unit has a passive temperature sensor, wire to terminals 5 and
6. For units with RH and temperature voltage outputs, the RH or Temperature out-
put may be used by itself.

Remote Display
For models that are ordered without an integral LCD display, remote display Model
A-449 can be used to display the temperature and humidity or dew point. The mini
USB plug of the remote display plugs into the receptor on the side of the housing.
After a short warm up time, the display will begin to show the current temperature
and humidity or dew point measurements. Humidity or dew point can be selected
via the internal dip switches as described earlier in this manual.

0MAINTENANCE
Upon final installation of the Series RHP-W Temperature/Humidity/Dew Point
Transmitter and the companion receiver, no routine maintenance is required. A peri-
dic check of the system calibration is recommended. Except for sensor replace-
o
ent, t he Series RHP-W is not field serviceable and should be returned if repair is
m
eeded (field repair should not be attempted and may void warranty). Be sure to
n
nclude a brief description of the problem plus any relevant application notes.
