involved in transport, installation, operation, maintenance and repair.
The operation manual may not be used for the purposes of competition without the written consent of
E+E Elektronik® and may not be forwarded to third parties. Copies may be made for internal purposes.
All information, technical data and diagrams included in these instructions are based on the information
available at the time of writing.
Intended use
The EE211 is intended for the measurement of relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) in
environment with continuous high humidity. The use of the EE211 other than described in this manual is
not recommended.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages as a result of incorrect handling, installation
and maintenance of the device. Unauthorized modifications of the product lead to loss of all warranty
claims. The device may only be powered with separated extra-low voltage (SELV).
Disclaimer
The manufacturer or his authorized agent can be only be held liable in case of willful or gross
negligence. In any case, the scope of liability is limited to the corresponding amount of the order issued
to the manufacturer. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages incurred due to failure to
comply with the applicable regulations, operating instructions or the operating conditions. Consequential

1.1 Explanation of Symbols
This symbol indicates safety information.
It is essential that all safety information is strictly observed. Failure to comply with this information can
lead to personal injuries or damage to property. E+E Elektronik® assumes no liability if this happens.
This symbol indicates instructions.
The instructions shall be observed in order to reach optimal performance of the device.
1.1.1 General Safety Instructions

3 Product Description
3.1 Operation Principle
The humidity probe is continuously heated for avoiding the effects of condensation and high humidity onto the sensing elements, such as corrosion, high humidity drift or stray impedances. Thus, the
probe heating leads to outstanding long term stability. Based on the measured values humidity and
temperature, the EE211 calculates the dew point temperature Td whereas the separate, interchangeable T-probe measures the ambient temperature. Ultimately, out of Td and T, the device calculates the
relative humidity RH as well as several other parameters like absolute humidity, mixing ratio, wet bulb
temperature or enthalpy.
Operating manual EE211 Heated humidity and temperature sensor
5
Outstanding long term stability under high humidity conditions
The operation principle of EE211 copes with the causes for poor long-term stability of non-heated
sensors at continuously high humidity. The constant over-temperature of the EE211 sensing head
(approx. 5 °C = 9 °F) means max. 76 % RH humidity at the sensors and enables following benefits:
• The sensing head of EE211 stays dry even under condensing conditions, which prevents dust and dirt
from sticking to the sensor and leads to outstanding long-term stability.
• The combination of dry sensing head, E+E proprietary coating of the sensing element and sealed
solder pads minimize the impact of corrosive agents.
• Maximum humidity of 76 % RH at the sensor eliminates the drift caused by exposure to continuous
high humidity.

3.6 Selection Output Signal Voltage / Current
The factory setup of the output signal and scaling corresponds to the type number as ordered.
The output signal voltage (U) or current 3-wire (I) can be selected with the DIP switch on the main electronics board (see 3.3 Connection Diagram - EE211-M1A2/3/5/6). This does not impact on the scaling
of the outputs, which can be changed using the EE-PCS Product Configuration Software and the optional USB configuration adapter HA011066.
3.6.1 Examples
Factory setup: voltage output 0-5 V or 0-10 V corresponds to 0…100% RH.
After switching from U to I: current output 4 … 20 mA (3-wire) corresponds to 0 … 100% RH.
A change of the current output range for instance to 0-20 mA can be made subsequently with the EEPCS Product Configuration Software and the optional USB Configuration Adapter HA011066.
Factory setup: current output 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA (3-wire) corresponds to -10…50 °C.
After switching from I to U: voltage output 0-10 V corresponds to -10…50 °C.
A change of the voltage output range for instance to 0-5 V can be made subsequently with the EE-PCS
Product Configuration Software and the optional USB configuration adapter HA011066.
4 Assembly and Installation
• Insert the M20 cable gland included in the scope of supply into the corresponding opening of the
EE211 basis unit and fix it tight with the nut. Alternatively, it is possible to install a 1/2” conduit fitting
(not included in the scope of supply).
• Install the EE07-MT temperature probe either directly onto the M12 connector of the EE211 basis unit
or using the optional probe cable.
The entire EE211 shall be places inside the space to be monitored. The measured RH correspond to
the location of the T probe. Consequently, the T probe shall be positioned at the place of main interest
for RH measurement. For instance, in an environmental chamber, the EE211 basic unit can be fixed
conveniently on the inside wall, while the T probe can be placed in the middle of the chamber using the
optional probe cable.

6 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
If needed, the sensing head of the humidity probe can be cleaned by the user (see cleaning instruction
- www.epluse.com/cleaning-instructions). The EE07-MT probe does not require any special cleaning
because the temperature sensor is encapsulated in the stainless steel body of the probe.
6.2 Filter Replacement
In a dusty, polluted environment it might be necessary to replace the filter cap once in a while. In most
of the cases, a clogged filter shows visible contamination or dirt. Longer response time of the RH
measurement also indicates a clogged filter cap. In such cases, replace the filter by a new, original one,
see data sheet “Accessories”.
Procedure:
• Turn the filter cap counter-clockwise for removing it.
• Install the new filter cap fingertight by turning it clockwise
6.3 Adjustment and Calibration
6.3.1 Definitions
Calibration
The calibration documents the accuracy of a measurement device. The device under test (specimen) is
compared with the reference and the deviations are documented in a calibration certificate. During the
calibration, the specimen is not changed or improved in any way.
Adjustment
The adjustment improves the measurement accuracy of a device. The specimen is compared with the
reference and brought in line with it. An adjustment can be followed by a calibration which documents
the accuracy of the adjusted specimen. The 2-point adjustment is recommended for best accuracy over
a wide RH and / or T range.
6.4 RH and T Calibration / Adjustment
• One point (offset) calibration/adjustment at ambient T can be easily performed by comparison with
an adequate RH and a T reference. The E+E Omniport 30 handheld device can serve for instance as
such reference. Omniport 30 can be optionally supplied with an accredited calibration certificate. See
E+E calibration brochure at www.eplusecal.com.
• For multiple point calibration or 2-point adjustment for RH and T, the EE211 as a whole (both probes)
shall be placed in a climate chamber.
6.4.1 Adjustment Procedure
12
• Connect the EE211 to the a Windows PC, using the EE-PCS Product Configuration Software and the
optional USB configuration adapter HA011066.
• EE-PCS (free download from www.epluse.com/configurator) shall be installed on the PC.
• Start EE-PCS and proceed with 1 or 2-point adjustment of the RH and of the T reading.
Please note:
The adjustment data is stored in the main electronics board of the EE211. The factory adjustment of
the heated humidity probe and of the T probe is not altered. In case of replacing of theT probe it is
necessary to return to the factory setup of EE211.
Operating manual EE211 Heated humidity and temperature sensor
6.5 Individual Calibration / Adjustment of the T Probe
The T probe can be also adjusted separately, which might be desirable in high demanding applications.
For best accuracy it is advisable to use a dry block calibrator.
6.5.1 Adjustment Procedure
• Connect the T probe to the a Windows PC using the EE-PCA product configuration adapter and the
cable HA011057 (see data sheet EE-PCA).
• EE-PCS (free download from www.epluse.com/configurator) shall be installed on the PC.
• Start EE-PCS and proceed with the calibration or adjustment of the T reading.
Please note:
In case of individual adjustment, the adjustment data is stored in the T probe, the factory setup of the
EE211 basis unit is not altered. Consequently, the T probe can be readjusted or replaced at any time
without the need of readjusting the EE211 basis unit.
