INSTALLATION
Inspection
Requirements
Warning:
Caution:
Inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the appropriate
carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the package and inspect
the device for obvious damage. Return damaged products.
• Tools (not provided)
- Digital Volt-ohm Meter (DVM)
- Appropriate screwdriver for mounting screws
- Appropriate drill and drill bit for mounting screws
• Appropriate accessories
• Two #8 self-tapping mounting screws (not provided)
• Training: Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician
• Do not use on oxygen service, in an explosive/hazardous
environment, or with flammable/combustible media.
• Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent
electrical shock and equipment damage.
• Make all connections in accordance with the job wiring diagram
and in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Use
copper conductors only.
• Use electrostatic discharge precautions (e.g., use of wrist straps)
during installation and wiring to prevent equipment damage.
• Avoid locations where severe shock or vibration, excessive
moisture or corrosive fumes are present. NEMA Type 4 housings
are intended for outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of
protection against wind-blown dust, rain, and hose-directed water.
• Do not exceed ratings of the device.

HU-226 humidity transducers are 4-20 mA output units powered with a
12-40 VDC supply.
The following describes the proper wiring of these humidity and temp sensors
with mA output:
HUMIDITY SENSOR:
1. Remove the terminal block by carefully pulling it off the circuit board.
2. Locate the [+] and [-] terminal markings on the board.
3. Attach the supply voltage to the [+] lead.
4. Connect the 4-20 mA output ([-] terminal) to the controller’s input terminal.
5. Ensure that the power supply common is attached to the common bus of
the controller.
6. Re-insert the terminal block to the circuit board and apply power to the unit.
7. Check for the appropriate output signal using a DVM set on DC milliamps
connected in series with the [-] terminal.
TEMP SENSOR:
1. Remove the terminal block by carefully pulling it off the circuit board.
2. Use shielded 18-22 AWG wire to connect temp sensor as shown in
Figures 1 & 2.

Caution: If you are using grounded AC, the hot wire must be on
the [+] terminal. Also, if you are using a controller without built-in
isolation, use an isolation transformer to supply the HU-226
transducer.
Caution: This product contains a half-wave rectifier power
supply and must not be powered off transformers used to power
other devices utilizing non-isolated full-wave rectifier power
supplies.
Caution: When multiple units are powered from the same
transformer, damage will result unless all 24G power leads are
connected to the same power lead on all devices. It is mandatory that correct phasing be maintained when powering more
than one device from a single transformer.
