Safety

	The product delivered to you has been tested for safety and approved as
	shipped from the factory. Note the following precautions:
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.

Recycling

Recycle all applicable material.

Do not dispose of with regular household refuse.

CHAPTER 2

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This chapter introduces the features and options of the HMP60 and

HMP110 series probes.

Introduction to HMP60 and HMP110 Series

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 Clamp

The optional mounting clamp makes it easy to install the probe on the wall of the measurement environment. The probe can be detached for calibration simply by loosening the lower screw.

1001-138

Figure 4 Probe Mounting Clamp in Use

The probe mounting clamp is delivered in two parts that must be connected when it is used:

1.Align the slots on the clamp parts as shown in Figure 5 below.

Chapter 2 __________________________________________________________ Product Overview

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.

0911-109

Figure 8 Probe Mounting Flange

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.

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 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.
