Safety

			The product delivered to you has been tested for safety and approved as
			shipped from the factory. Note the following precautions:
		WARNING	Ground the product, and verify outdoor installation grounding
			periodically to minimize shock hazard.
		CAUTION	Do not modify the unit. Improper modification can damage the product
			or lead to malfunction.

ESD Protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against ESD for their intended use. It is possible to damage the product, however, by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.

To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:

-Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench.

-When an ESD workbench is not available, ground yourself to the equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord.

-If you are unable to take either of the above precautions, touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis with your other hand before touching ESD sensitive components.

-Always hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching the component contacts.

CHAPTER 2

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This chapter introduces the product features and options.

Introduction to HMP60 and HMP110

Vaisala Humidity and Temperature Probes HMP60 and HMP110 are simple and cost-effective humidity transmitters suitable for volume applications, integration into other manufacturers’ equipment, incubators, glove boxes, greenhouses, fermentation chambers, and data loggers.

HMP60 uses the interchangeable Vaisala INTERCAP® sensor. No recalibration is required after sensor replacement.

HMP110 uses the Vaisala HUMICAP 180R® sensor for increased accuracy. The HMP110 requires calibration after sensor replacement. This can be done on the serial line using the optional Vaisala USB cable.

Chapter 2 __________________________________________________________ Product Overview

Loop Power Converter

The loop power converter is an open frame module that converts one 0 ... 2.5 VDC voltage output to a 4 ... 20 mA current output. To use the loop power converter module, the probe:

-must be in the analog output mode

-the desired quantity must be on channel 1

-channel 1 must be scaled to 0 ... 2.5 V

Wiring instructions are provided in section Wiring with the Loop Power Converter on page 22.
