2.0INTRODUCTION
2.1GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HX80 Series is a family of humidity probes and electronic modules that offer a variety of measurement parameters with high accuracy. In addition to Percent Relative Humidity (%RH), probes are available to also measure Temperature and Pressure.
Electrical analog and digital outputs are provided for not only these measured parameters, but may be provided for microprocessorcomputed parameters as well.
These include parts-per-million by volume (ppmv), parts-per-million by weight (ppmw), grains of water per pound of dry gas (gr/lb), and others.
The HX80 system is designed for ease of installation and operation. Field-replaceable sensor modules have standardized outputs for interchangeability without recalibration. The power requirement is a common unregulated DC power supply. User-available electrical outputs include linear analog voltage (or optional current), a digital bidirectional serial port, and alarm relays. Mounting options include Wall Mount, Remote Mount, and Duct Mount configurations. Additional options include high temperature and high pressure probes. A remote or local Display Unit (Type DIS) is available, with a two-line LCD display, alarm relays, and three 4 to 20 mA electrical outputs.
