The OMEGA® HX92B Series Relative Humidity Transmitter provides a
linearized and temperature compensated output signal of 4 to 20mA, 0 to 1 Vdc,
0 to 5 Vdc or 0 to 10 Vdc depending upon the model selected. The output signals
have been calibrated and scaled 0 to 100% Relative Humidity output scale. The
easily removed for cleaning. The NEMA rated polycarbonate enclosure and
cable entry connection provides weathertight protection. Screws are provided for
mounting via internal holes inside the enclosure. The terminal connection for the
output signal is as shown in Figure 1-1 below.

Unpacking
Section - 2 Unpacking
Remove the packing list and verify that you have received all your equipment.
If you have any questions about the shipment, please call our Customer Service
Department at
1-800-622-2378 or 203-359-1660.

When you receive the shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any
signs of damage. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately
report any damage to the shipping agent.
The carrier will not honor any damage claims unless all shipping
material is saved for inspection. After examining and removing
contents, save packing material and carton in the event reshipment is
necessary.
The following items are supplied in the box with your HX92B Series transmitter.
being measured by the sensor. Some advantages of a current output over a
voltage output is that the signal measured is less susceptible to electrical noise
interference, and the loop can support more than one measuring instrument as
long as the maximum loop resistance is not exceeded.
A typical application utilizing a current loop will normally consist of a power
supply, the transmitter and a meter, recorder or controller to measure the

Mounting
Section 4 - Mounting
The HX92B transmitters are designed for wall, duct or remote probe mounting
depending upon the model. Plastic wall anchors and mounting screws are
included with Wall Mount and Remote Probe models. A duct mounting kit is
included with Duct Mount models.
See Figure 4-1, Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3 for the Wall Mount, Duct Mount and
Remote Probe model dimensions for your mounting reference.

Relative Humidity Output Calculations
Section 5 - Relative Humidity Output Calculations
To calculate % relative humidity by measuring the current or voltage output, use
the following formulas:
For current output:
%RH = (Current measured in milliamps – 4) ÷ 0.16
Where:
4 = offset current in mA.
0.16 = full scale current limit in percent (%).
For voltage output
a. 1 volt output:
%RH = (voltage measured in volts x 100)
b. 5 volt output:
%RH = (voltage measured in volts/5) x 100
c. 10 volt output:
%RH = (voltage measured in volts/10) x 100

Calibration
Section 6 - Calibration
Your transmitter has been digitally calibrated and tested to meet or exceed the
screen. A soft brush may also be used to remove dirt particles from the screen.
If the sensor is subjected to 100% condensation, it must be dried to obtain correct
readings. There will be no permanent damage or calibration shift to the unit.
Units should not be exposed to high concentrations of ammonia or alcohol
vapors.
The Duct Mount model transmitter must be sent back to the factory if sensor
replacement or recalibration is needed.
