PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This chapter introduces the features and options of the HMP60 and HMP110 series probes.

Introduction to HMP60 and HMP110 Ser ies

Vaisala Humidity and Temperature Probes HMP60 and HMP110 Series are simple and cost-effective humidity transmitters suitable for various volume applications:
- Integration into other manufacturers’ equipment.
- Incubators.
- Glove boxes.
- Greenhouses.
- Fermentation chambers.
- Data loggers.
- Hand-held meters. HMP60 series probes use the interchangeable Vaisala INTERCAP®
sensor. No recalibration is required after sensor replacement. HMP110 series probes use the Vaisala HUMICAP® 180R sensor for
increased accuracy. HMP110 series probes require calibration after sensor replacement. This can be done on the serial line using the optional Vaisala USB cable.

HMP63 and HMP113 probes do not have a thread on the probe body. For a convenient installation, use the optional installation accessories:
- Use the probe mounting clamp to hold the probe on a wall.
- Use the probe mounting flange to hold the probe in a through-wall
installation.
- If you are using the probe with a HMT120, HMT130, or HM40 hand-
held meter, use the plastic locking bushing.
For information on these accessories, see section I nstallat ion A ccessori es (Optional) on page 15.

Wiring with the Loop Power Converter

To use the loop power converter module with a HMP60 or HMP110 series probe, make sure that:
- The probe is in the analog output mode
- The desired quantity must be on channel 1
- Channel 1 is scaled to 0 ... 2.5 V When using the loop power converter module, power the module with
8 ... 28 VDC. The operating voltage for the probe (5 VDC) is delivered by the module.
For more information, see the Loop Power Converter Quick Reference Guide.

Power Supply Requirements

The operating voltage for the HMP60 and HMP110 series probes must be in the following range:
- 5 ... 28 VDC when using the 0 ... 1 V, 0 ... 2.5 V or RS-485 output
- 8 ... 28 VDC when using the 0 ... 5 V or 1 ... 5 V output
Current consumption is 1 mA on average, which makes the probes well suited for running on battery power. The maximum peak consumption is 5 mA.
Recommendations
- Continuous use over high operating voltage may cause heating.
To conserve power and minimize the warming of the probe, use the lowest operating voltage in the allowed range.
- Using low impedance loads on the signal outputs increase the current
consuption by up to 0.5 mA. High impedance loads are recommended to minimize warming of the probe.
- Frequent interrogation of the probe using the RS-485 interface will
also increase current consumption from the average value. More frequent interrogation than once per second is not recommended.

CHAPTER 4

OPERATION

This chapter contains information that is needed to operate the HMP60 and HMP110 series probes.

Getting Started

When the probe is connected to a power supply, there is a delay as the probe starts up and the analog output stabilizes. The delay depends on the output type, and on the operating voltage that is supplied to the probe:
- Probes with analog output:
- 4 s at operating voltage 13.5 ... 16.5 VDC
- 2 s at other valid operating voltages
- Probes with digital output: 1 s

Serial Line Communication

HMP60 and HMP110 series probes support two-wire RS-485 communication. The RS-485 interface is non-isolated and offers a maximum communications rate of 57600 bits/s.
There is no internal termination for the RS-485 on the probe. Use of termination resistors is not recommended. If the resistors are used, the possible increase in current consumption should be taken into account.

Connecting to the Serial Interface

The connection to the serial interface is via the 4-pin connector on the probe; see connector pinout on page 23.
For temporary use of the serial interface (for example, calibration), you can use the optional USB cable (Vaisala order code: 219690). Before you can use the USB cable, you must install the provided USB driver on your PC, see Installing the Driver for the USB Cable on page 30.

For permanent interfacing to a host system, use a shielded cable with a threaded connector. See list of available cables in section Options and Accessories on page 68.
The probe does not echo typed characters back to the terminal screen. To see the commands you type, you need to enable the "local echo" setting in your terminal program.
A new command cannot be received while the probe is sending data out. Wait until the instrument has completed its response before entering the next command.
Table 5 Default Serial Communication Settings
You can change the serial settings and operate in RUN, STOP and POLL modes:
- After power-up the probe (in STOP mode) outputs the software
version and the command prompt.
- In RUN mode, a measurement output starts immediately after power-
up.
- In POLL mode, the probe does not output anything after power-up. It
must be accessed with an addressed command.
For a description of the modes and the SMODE command that is used to change the mode, see section Set Serial Interface Mode on page 40.

Chapter 4 ________________________________________________________________ Operation

Installing the Driver for the USB Cable

Before taking the USB cable into use, you must install the provided USB driver on your PC. When installing the driver, you must acknowledge any security prompts that may appear.
1. Check that the USB cable is not connected. Disconnect the cable if
you have already connected it.
2. Insert the media that came with the cable, or download the latest
driver from www.vaisala.com.
3. Execute the USB driver installation program (setup.exe), and
accept the installation defaults. The installation of the driver may take several minutes.
4. After the driver has been installed, connect the USB cable to a USB
port on your PC. Windows will detect the new device, and use the driver automatically.
5. The installation has reserved a COM port for the cable. Verify the
port number, and the status of the cable, using the Vaisala USB Instrument Finder program that has been installed in the Windows Start menu. The reserved ports are also visible in the Ports section of the Windows Device Manager.
Remember to use the correct port in the settings of your terminal program. Windows will recognize each individual cable as a different device, and reserve a new COM port.
There is no reason to uninstall the driver for normal use. However, if you wish to remove the driver files and all Vaisala USB cable devices, you can do so by uninstalling the entry for Vaisala USB Instrument Driver from the Programs and Features menu in the Windows Control Panel. In Windows XP and earlier Windows versions the menu is called Add or Remove Programs.

Terminal Application Settings for Probes in RS-485 Mode

The steps below describe how to connect to HMP60 and HMP110 series probes using the PuTTY terminal application for Windows (available for download at www.vaisala.com) and the USB serial interface. The instructions assume that your probe has been ordered with th e RS-485 output.
If your probe has been ordered without the RS-485 output, you can still connect to the serial line by following the instructions in section Terminal Application Settings for Probes in Analog Mode on page 34.
1. Connect the USB serial interface cable between your PC and the probe.
2. Start the PuTTY application.
3. Select the Serial settings category, and check that the correct COM port is selected in the Serial line to connect to field.
You can check which port the USB cable is using with the Vaisala USB Instrument Finder program that has been installed in the Windows Start menu.
4. Check that the other serial settings are correct for your connection, and change if necessary. Refer to Table 5 on page 30 for the default serial line settings of the probe.
5. Click the Open button to open the connection window and start using the serial line.
If PuTTY is unable to open the serial port you selected, it will show you an error message instead. If this happens, restart PuTTY and check the settings.
6. You may need to adjust the Local echo setting in the Terminal category to see what you are typing on the serial line. To access the configuration screen while a session is running, click the right mouse button over the session window, and select Change Settings... from the pop-up menu.

Calibration Commands

Calibrate Humidity Measurement

Use the CRH command to perform a one-point or two-point correction to the capacitance measurement of the probe. This command changes the offset and/or gain of the humidity measurement, depending on the calibration and reference:
- one-point calibration with a single < 50 %RH reference will adjust the
offset of the capacitance measurement
- one-point calibration with a single > 50 %RH reference will adjust the
gain of the capacitance measurement
- two-point calibration will adjust both offset and gain. The first point
requires a < 50 %RH humidity reference, the second point must be > 50 %RH. There must also be at least 30 percentage point difference between the references.
CRH [reference]<cr> This command is not available on the HMP110T. When performing a one-point calibration, you need to place the probe in
the reference humidity and wait for 20 – 40 minutes for the humidity to stabilize. To apply the adjustment, enter the CRH command with the reference %RH as a parameter.
Example: one-point calibration (LiCl reference, 11 %RH):
crh 11
OK
Example: one-point calibration with NaCl reference (75 %RH):
crh 75
OK
Giving the command without parameters starts the two-point calibration. Remember to allow the humidity to stabilize for 20 - 40 minutes after changing the reference.
Example: two-point calibration with LiCl (11 %RH) and NaCL (75 %RH) references:
crh
RH : 11.2684 1. ref ? 11 Press any key when ready ... RH : 75.0612 2. ref ? 75 OK

Clear Adjustment of RH Measurement

Use the CRHCLR command to clear the adjustment of RH measurement that has been done using the CRH command. This command is not available on the HMP110T.
CRHCLR<cr> Example:
crhclr
OK

Calibrate Temperature Measurement

Use the CT command to perform a one-point or two-point temperature (T) calibration. One-point calibration adjusts the offset for the measurement, two-point calibration adjusts offset and gain.
CT [reference]<cr> When performing a one-point calibration, you need to place the probe in
a single temperature reference and wait for 20 – 40 minutes for the temperature to stabilize. To apply the adjustment, enter the CT command with the reference temperature as a parameter.
Example: one-point calibration
ct 23.5
OK
Giving the command without parameters starts the two-point calibrat io n. Remember to allow the temperature to stabilize for 20 - 40 minutes after changing the reference. The first reference point must be smaller than the second point, and the difference between the reference points must be more than 30 ºC. To update the measured value while the command is running, press enter without inputting a value.
Example: two-point calibration
ct
T : 22.03 Ref1 ? 22 Press any key when ready ... T : 55.12 Ref2 ? 55 OK

CHAPTER 5

MAINTENANCE

This chapter provides information that is needed in basic maintenance of the HMP60 and HMP110 series probes.

Periodic Maintenance

The humidity measurement accuracy of the HMP60 and HMP110 series probes should be calibrated yearly. When calibration indicates that accuracy is not within specification:
- HMP60 and HMP63: change the INTERCAP® Sensor.
- HMP110 and HMP113: adjust the measurement yourself, or have it
adjusted at a Vaisala Service Center.
Light cleaning of the probe, and replacement of the filter should be done only when necessary.

Cleaning

The probe body can be wiped clean with a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with mild detergent. Do not use solvents or compressed air.
Note that wiping the membrane filter or stainless steel sintered filter may block its pores and/or deposit residue on the filter. If the filter is heavily contaminated, replace it.

Changing the Filter

The filter on the probe should be replaced when it is damaged or dirty.
1. Turn the filter counter-clockwise to loosen it.
2. Remove the filter from the probe. Be careful not to touch the
sensors with the filter. Without the filter in place, the sensors are easily damaged – handle the probe carefully.
3. Install a new filter on the probe, and tighten it so it is finger-tight.
Make sure the filter sits straight and meets the threads properly.
VAISALA _______________________________________________________________________ 53
Page 56
User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________
If you are adjusting a probe that is in the analog output mode, see section Terminal Application Settings for Probes in Analog Mode instructions on how to start the probe in RS
New filters can be ordered from Vaisala. For available filters, see section Filter Options on page 14. The order codes of the filters are listed in section Options and Accessories on page 68.

Calibration Procedure

To calibrate your probe, you need a known stable humidity or temperature reference, and a way to read the output of the probe (analog or serial). As a humidity reference you can use, for example, the Vaisala Humidity Calibrator HMK15.
Refer to chapter Technical Data on page 63 for accuracy specifications of the probes.
1. Connect the power/signal cable to the probe, but do not power it up yet.
2. Remove the filter from the probe and place the probe in the reference environment. For example, you can use a NaCl salt chamber (75 %RH) as the humidity reference.
3. Wait for 20 – 40 minutes for the reading to stabilize.
4. Power up the probe and wait for one minute.
5. Check the measurement reading, and compare it with the reading that the reference should produce.

Adjustment Procedure (HMP110 and HMP113)

NOTE

-485 mode.

One-Point Adjustment of RH Measurement (HMP110 and HMP113)

To perform a one-point adjustment to the capacitance measurement of the HMP110 or HMP113 you need:
- The Vaisala USB cable (Vaisala order code: 219690)
- PC with a terminal application.
- One humidity reference. One-point calibration with a single
< 50 %RH reference will adjust the offset of the measurement. One­point calibration with a single > 50 %RH reference will adjust the gain of the measurement.
The procedure below uses the HMK15 Humidity Calibrator. LiCl salt (11 %RH) is used as the reference point.
54 __________________________________________________________________ M211060EN-E
Page 57
Chapter 5 ______________________________________________________________ Maintenance
1. Connect the USB cable to the PC, but do not connect it to the probe
yet.
2. Remove the filter from the probe and insert the probe in the LiCl
salt chamber of the humidity calibrator (11 %RH).
3. Start a terminal application and set the correct connection settings.
The default serial settings are 19200 8 N 1. Remember to check which COM port the USB cable is using.
4. Wait for 20 – 40 minutes for the humidity to stabilize.
5. Start the terminal session and connect the USB cable to the probe.
If your probe is in the analog output mode, you need to press Enter a few times to start it in RS-485 mode.
6. Verify that the connection works by giving the ? command:
?
If the probe does not respond with device information:
- Disconnect the USB cable from the probe and retry. If your probe is in the analog output mode, press Enter a few times immediately after connecting the USB cable.
- Try the ?? command in case the probe is in POLL mode, open the line using OPEN command if necessary.
- Check your serial line settings and cable connections.
7. When your serial connection is working, use the L command to see the current user adjustment parameters.
