Do not modify the unit. Improper modification can damage the product
or lead to malfunction.
Recycle all applicable material.
Do not dispose of with regular household refuse.
Safety
The product delivered to you has been tested for safety and approved as
shipped from the factory. Note the following precautions:
CAUTION
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:
Recycling
- 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 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.

Probe Mounting Flange
The probe mounting flange is a silicone flange that can be used to hold
the probe in a through-wall installation. The flange is a general purpose
mounting accessory for Ø 12mm probes, and comes with a sealing plug
for coaxial cables that is not needed when the flange is used with HMP60
and HMP110 series probes.

Plastic Locking Bushing for HMP63 and
HMP113
HMP63 and HMP113 can be connected to compatible Vaisala
instruments using a plastic locking bushing that is placed over the probe.
The bushing has a M15x1 thread. It is compatible with the HMT120 and
HMT130 transmitters, and the HM40 hand-held meter.

Duct Installation Kit for HMP60, HMP110
and HMP110T
The duct installation kit includes a plastic pipe with a flange (Vaisala
order code: 215619). To install the probe with the duct installation kit,
drill a hole to the duct wall, assemble the probe to the duct installation
kit, slide the probe head through the hole, and attach the flange to the
duct wall with four screws. See page 23 for details.

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 is 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 26.
