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.

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.

higher accuracy and faster thermal response time.
Not for permanent outdoor use. Two analo g output
channels.

For order codes, see section Options and Accessories on page 72.
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.
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.
The following explanations refer to Figure 10 above:
1 = Tension screw
Distance L can be adjusted and locked in place with the tension screw.
Duct Installation Kit for HMP60, HMP110,
HMP110D 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 22 for details.
1301-002
Figure 10 Probe Installation with the Duct Installation Kit
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
Connection cables have a straight, threaded female M8 connector on one
end and open wires on the other end. Also other compatible M8 series
cables can be used.
1210-063
Figure 12 Cable with Threaded Connector
The USB Serial Interface Cable has a straight, threaded female M8
connector on one end, and a USB Type A male plug on the other. The
USB cable is intended for maintenance purposes only, not for permanent
installation.
Mounting the HMP60, HMP110, HM P110D and
HMP110T Probes
HMP60, HMP110, HMP110D and HMP110T are designed to be
mounted from the M12 thread on the probe body or from the smooth part
of the probe body. For a convenient installation, use the optional
installation accessories:
- Use the plastic mounting nuts to hold the probe in a through-wall
installation.
- 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.
NOTE
Avoid placing the probe in a place where condensation can run onto the
sensor.
