C7600A
Solid State Humidity Sensor
PRODUCT DATA
FEATURES
• Long-lasting solid state sensing element is accurate
and stable over time.
• Sensor enclosed in rugged glass-fiber reinforced
plastic case.
• Compact size and lightweight construction for easy
mounting in duct or on wall.
•Vents in top of cover allow air flow to internal humidity
sensing element.
•4 to 20 mA output inversely proportional to relative air
humidity.
• Can be used indoors or outdoors.
GENERAL
The C7600A Solid State Humidity Sensor senses the relative
humidity of the return air and is used with the W7600
Multifunction Controller or any controller capable of
processing a 4 to 20 mA signal.

C7600A SOLID STATE HUMIDITY SENSOR
SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT
Model:
C7600A Solid State Humidity Sensor. Use with W7600
Multifunction Controller or any controller capable of
processing 4 to 20 mA signal.
Electrical Ratings:
The specifications given in this publication do not
include normal manufacturing tolerances. Therefore,
an individual unit may not exactly match the listed
specifications. Also, this product is tested and
calibrated under closely controlled conditions and
some minor differences in performance can be
expected if those conditions are changed.
Input:
18 to 24 Vdc.
Output:
4 to 20 mA current signal; increases from 4 to 20 mA
as humidity decreases. The relationship of the C7600A
output current vs. relative humidity is shown in Fig. 2.
It is not possible to develop a straight-line formula for
calculating the C7600A current output from a given
relative humidity; however, the exponential formula
below gives accurate results for this relationship.
I = 19.12925 - 0.1507896RH + 1.720302(10
- 1.598528(10-7)RH

)RH
Where:
I is the current output of the C7600A in mA.
RH is the percent relative humidity.
Maximum Power Consumption: 0.48 VA.
Humidity Sensitivity:
+/- 3 percent.
Humidity Sensing Element:
Polyamide film (capacitance changes with change in
humidity).
Case:
Compact, rugged, lightweight plastic case.
Mounting:
Duct-mounted indoors, or wall-mounted outdoors in a location
protected from rain, snow, or direct sunlight.
Terminals:
Tw o 1/4 in. (6 mm) quick-connect terminals.
Dimensions:
See Fig. 1.
Time Constants:
Airflow: 500 fpm.
Time: 15 minutes.
Approvals:
Underwriters Laboratories Inc.: Flammability rating UL94-5V.
