Introduction The MMR101 is a moisture and temperature transmitter featuring two
patented isolated 4 to 20-mA current loops. The measuring range lies between 0 to 100% relative humidity at temperatures of up to 150
o
(300
F). This transmitter has been designed for use in low and high­temperature ranges, such as chemical processes, textile production and the glass, cement and steel industries. This instrument can be used in pressurized and not pressurized systems with pressures of up to 10 bar.

Mode of Operation The MMR101 measures the relative humidity and the temperature of
the process. The sensor tube is designed for direct measurement in the process (in-line measurement). The relative humidity is measured using the capacitive measuring principle. The moisture sensor consists of a capacitor with two electrodes. The dielectric constant of an organic dielectric located between the electrodes changes with relative humidity. The capacitance determined is converted to a frequency by the microprocessor. This moisture signal is compared to a calibration table permanently stored in the instrument.The relative humidity in the process is determined based on this signal. A Pt 1000 sensor is used to measure the process temperature. The process temperature is available to the user via a second 4 to 20 mA output. It is also used for moisture measurement temperature compensation. All the moisture units provided by the instrument are determined from relative humidity and temperature.

Introduction Installing the MR101 consists of finding a suitable installation
location, mounting the unit and then making the necessary wiring connections. However, if your unit does not have a display, you should make sure the moisture units have been configured.
Use the following sections to properly install you unit:
Selecting the Measurement Units, below
Choosing a Mounting Location on page 2-3
Mounting the Unit on page 2-4
Making Electrical Connections on page 2-5
Manually Setting the Measurement Units
If your MMR101 is not equipped with a display, your unit will already be configured for the measurement units you specified at the time of ordering. Use the steps below to select different units or verify the units is setup as specified.
Note: The sensor measures r elative humidity and temperatur e. Other
moisture units are derived from these live measurements. The
o
temperature loop is 0 to 150 selectable. See Measurement Accuracy on page 3-11 for more details on accuracy.
Use the steps below to reset the desired measurement units.
Caution!
If your instrument is connected to power, disconnect it
before performing the following procedure.
1. If your unit is already installed, disconnect it from the power
supply.
2. Remove the housing cover opposite to the terminal side.
