Relative Humidity & Temperature (RH/T) Duct Sensors

Product Descript ion

Relative Humidity (RH) and Relative Humidity & Temperature (RH/T) duct sensors monitor the relative humidity or the relative humidity and temperature in a duct, depending on the model.

Sensors are directly wired to the controller via twisted pair and/or three conductor cables (18 to 22 AWG). The number and type of cables required depends on the model selected. All field wiring is terminated in a terminal block on the sensor body.

Prerequisites

♦

• Ensure that the appropriate field wiring is installed.

Appropriate wiring is one or more twisted pairs, or three conductor cables (plenum or non-plenum as required), within the maximum wiring run length for the individual equipment controller. The maximum recommended length is 750 feet (229 m).

• Ensure that all wiring complies with National Electric Code (NEC) and local regulations.

Mounting Infor m a t ion

Locate the sensor:

• In the center of a duct.

• Away from fans, corners, heating and cooling

coils, and so on.

• Where it receives adequate airflow for proper operation.

Document No. 129-413 Installation Instructions October 5, 2009

Instructions

1. Drill a 7/8-inch diameter hole into the duct at the desired location of the sensor.

2. Decide if the sensor will be mounted directly to the duct or if the mounting flange will be used.

• Sensor Mounting Bracket Installation

a. Use the bracket as a template, and drill

two holes with a No. 26 (0.147-inch) drill bit. See Figure 1(B).

b. Attach the sensor mounting bracket and

gasket to the duct using two No. 8 × 1inch sheet metal screws. See Figure 1(C1).

c. Insert the sensor in the duct through the

bracket and tighten the mounting screw to set the insertion depth. See Figure 1(C2).

• Direct installation: a. Remove the sensor cover. b. Use the base as a template, and drill four

holes with a No. 26 (0.147-inch) drill bit. See Figure 1(B).

c. Insert the probe through the gasket and

into the hole. Secure the head to the duct with four No. 8 × 1-inch sheet metal screws.

3. Attach conduit or plenum wire to the sensor base. See Figures 1 and 2.

4. If you are using conduit, pull the field wiring through the conduit and into the sensor base.

5. Connect the field wiring to the sensor terminal block on the base. See Figures 3 through 7 for wiring diagrams.

6. Reinstall the sensor cover. See Figure 1(C6).

The installation is now complete.

NOTE: Figure 2 shows how to connect the conduit or plenum cable to the sensor head.
